Austrian Audio have announced that until 31 May 2024, customers who purchase a new OC818 microphone through an authorised dealer will receive a complimentary pair of their Hi‑X55 precision headphones worth $349£299.
The OC818 is a multi-pattern capacitor mic that feature’s Austrian Audio’s hand-made CKR12 ceramic capsule, and comes equipped with dual outputs that make it possible to capture the output of each diaphragm separately and adjust the polar pattern after recording. We reviewed the mic in the July 2019 issue of SOS — click here to check it out.
The Hi-X55 was the first model in Austrian Audio’s High Excursion headphone range, which have been designed with critical tasks such as editing and restoration projects in mind, but with a closed-back design that offers enough isolation for tracking duties. We’ve put these to the test, too, so you can check out our full review to find out more!
More information about the Hi-X55 and OC818 can be found on the Austrian Audio website, along with a list of authorised dealers.
