Just received my OC18 a couple of days ago, shipped from Thomann to Sofia, Bulgaria. I have waited a full month for it because Austrian Audio had run out of stock (and that says a lot about the demand for these jems). Couldn't be happier with the purchase...the build quality, the ergonomics, the form factor. And then there was THE SOUND of it...big, round, detailed, not overhyped, great mids, round, firm and not boomy bass, articulate and refined highs, no excessive sibilance....been praising it to fellow colleagues for days already. I would be happy to get another one, yet whoever is the lucky winner, I am 100% positive he/she will be over the moon with it! Great piece of equipment, great kit...and at a great price too! Kudos, AA!
This felt a bit like „Sendung mit der Metal Maus“. 😂 I love Austrian Audio. I bought a stereo set of OC818s a little over a year ago and they are awesome. Thanks for the video! It was cool to see how these mics are made. I love them even more, now.
I had the pleasure to work with the oc 818, the oc 18 and the oc 16 in my study program and even met some austrian audio people at an event. The mics, the people and their story is amazing! Cool Video :)
Jenny is so calm and composed while putting up with you being there, snooping around with a camera while she's working. She's so tolerant. I like the pink sticker at 5:01 lol Funny.
Straight up, you're the bloke that inspired me to get into audio production during all the lockdowns. Something I never really thought I'd be capable of as a humble bass man. Now a few years in, finally a member of the Kult and loving everything I don't think I'll win, but I wanted to say thanks and Dängle Dängle Ps. My Grandma sends her regards
Thank you very much for the video. Most I liked is testing every single membrane and also testings in all pgases of manifacturing - guarantee for very precise quality . The video prompt me get jealous to posess such a jewel !
It is nice to see assembly over the shoulder. I would like to have mic that is putted well like that, especially from metalhead like Jenny, which makes it more unique and special.
Cool to see the behind the scenes, there's a lot that goes into these mics. Austrian Audio going the extra mile on testing and QA is really great to see as well especially given how much a good condenser mic is!
This was a great watch. I’ve always loved these “How it’s Made?” type videos. So Awesome, the amount of detail and care put into making these. Time to record some music, from Brutal to Beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Kohle, Matt from Lima, Peru I got the Austrian oc18 and it will arrive soon. I dare say that I am one of the first in my country to get this microphone and all thanks to the fact that you show them in your videos. Thank you for showing us such good microphones and very valuable content.
appreciate the detail and explanation you give in your videos. you simplify the material to make it usable for everyone. thanks again. and yes...the microphone would be quite handy to have.
I thought long and hard (gigity) of what i would say to elicit receiving such a lovely mic i don't currently own. i kept coming back to "GIMME!!!!". fingers crossed.
BTW... if i was to win the mic. my initial plan with it, is to do a cover of "8675309/jenny" using the mic. id love to do a metal version of that song with Kristian. i can sing and play drums... you got the guitar and bass and keys?? ehhhh??? EHHHHHH??? :):).
I’ve been following you since your sessions with the URM Academy and it’s always a pleasure to keep following your journey and making us discover some wonders like these mics! Thank you buddy for what you do !
@@KohleAudioKult Ah, so that's why I can't find the one where you recommend what cymbals to use in the studio. I was having a discussion with a fellow drummer a few months ago about how I don't like "heavy" and "rock" crashes and wanted to send that video to him to support my point. Good to know that I'm not going crazy and just making things up in my mind :)
I've been to Vienna many times, but didn't know that the OC818 was actually built there. This was very interesting to watch how this amazing mic is created, and I really liked Jenny's nails :)
Very interesting! Real craftsmanship: a small team with real know-how, that's really nice to see! It would be cool if you could make a video comparing their different microphones.
I love that one person assembled the whole mic. I’m trying to build up my mic collection now, but have never tried an Austrian Audio. This reminds me of the segment in “Mr. Rogers” where he would show you how things were made. Maybe Kristian could be the next Mr. Rogers.
Thank you! Truly enjoyed this. It was like watching "How Its Made" 🙂 Good to see the craftsmanship that goes into these microphones. Very curious how they sound on my vocals and instruments. Cheers!
Awesome video! I love seeing how microphones are made and I'm impressed with the careful attention to detail on the diaphragm tuning and triple anechoic chamber tests on each mic! Where do they machine the brass, is it in house? Thanks for all the awesome content btw!
I worked for ep with some local punk bard bend and with the OC16 we are recorded all vocals, acoustic guitar, guitars. and even bass and it was phenomenal sounding ep !
It is always a pleasure to watch such techy (nerdy) stuff about hardware - How it's made - love it. The process looks much simpler than it is maybe because we are looking at a professional staff and company such as Austrian Audio. Next stop Lewitt maybe?
I got the OC818 recently and it's a my favorite mic for sure. Thank you for letting us peak into the process! Having an OC18 means a matched pair and that would be extremely useful for drums!
That was something different. But very interesting for sure... Had some flavour of "Expeditionen ins Mikro-Reich". Really enjoyed this one and would love to call one of their precious mics my own. Maybe Santa Kohle picks me🤔 or maybe not😅 Anyway Cheers🤘🏼🍻
I haven't had the chance to work with an Austrian audio mic, but I know I will love it! No, I love you, man! I have been learning a lot inside the KVLT and improving my mixing skills. You are the man!
If every product on the planet was made with this much care and attention to detail, the world would be a much better place! Fascinating.
My OC818 was in tears watching Jenny again from its childhood. Thank you Jenny!!
Haha! Nice comment. Jelly rules! 🤘

Finally a comment about that one!
@@KohleAudioKult There's no tricking us! We have Hawk eyes. :)
Thank you Jenny and Kristian for the detailed tour!
I already have four Austrian Audio mics, but certainly wouldn't mind another! Some of the best mics made today.
Straight up, you're the bloke that inspired me to get into audio production during all the lockdowns. Something I never really thought I'd be capable of as a humble bass man. Now a few years in, finally a member of the Kult and loving everything
I don't think I'll win, but I wanted to say thanks and Dängle Dängle
Ps. My Grandma sends her regards
Always fascinating to see the attention to detail that goes into making awesome mics!
Love my OC818 stereo pair!
I love that they saved the "AKG" legacy in Vienna. The mics are awesome!
Such care and detail in the manufacturing process. BRAVO !!!
Thank you very much for the video. Most I liked is testing every single membrane and also testings in all pgases of manifacturing - guarantee for very precise quality . The video prompt me get jealous to posess such a jewel !
For me the OC18 (and especially the OC818) is THE all-in-one solution, you can't have enough of them. Very cool video by the way!
So cool to see how this microphone is made. Thanks for showing us. Jenny is badass!
The best Sendung mit der Maus episode ever, love this style. Also a great mic. It's real nice to see how much care and thought goes into this tech.
It is nice to see assembly over the shoulder. I would like to have mic that is putted well like that, especially from metalhead like Jenny, which makes it more unique and special.
Brilliant. I love these 'behind the curtain' videos. Thanks Kohle and thanks Austrian Audio!
The attention to detail putting this mic together is amazing. JUST as amazing as all the insights I've learned in the Kult!
My OC818 f___king rips! Sound insane on heavy vocals! Nice to see how they build these mics!
I love these gear breakdowns
Cool to see the behind the scenes, there's a lot that goes into these mics. Austrian Audio going the extra mile on testing and QA is really great to see as well especially given how much a good condenser mic is!
Ich liebe diese Sendung von die Metal - Maus. Austrian are the best. Would love to have one in my own Home Recording Studio.
😂
Having studied these things in audio school, It Is beautiful to finally see how mics are actually made. Thank you Kohle and thank you Jenny ❤️
Interesting video from the best mic made in austria \m/
Really cool to see the care and quality control that goes into every step of the manufacturing process. I'm impressed!
That's incredible Kristian, you should do more gear breakdowns like these, they're so informative it's actually insane!
This was a great watch. I’ve always loved these “How it’s Made?” type videos. So Awesome, the amount of detail and care put into making these. Time to record some music, from Brutal to Beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
This was one of the best mic building videos ever. Thanks Kristian!
Impressive. Every mic is hand built and tested. Jenny makes it look easy!
Kristian, why does this reminds me so much of “Die Sendung mit der Maus” ? 🐭
Great video 🤘🏻
Love all the stuff you do! 🫶🏻
You should look into creating ASMR videos Kohle :) It was surprisingly calming to watch Jenny with your voice over.
Always dropping some of the most informative content. Really shows how much you want to give back to the community
It's great to see how these are made and the details that go into it to get it perfect.
Super interesting! Enjoyed every second. Would love to see the making process of more microphones.
Well done Kristian!
great insight into the process! I was suprised to see so much manual labor and testing involved into making just one mic. Incredible!
Been looking at this mic for a while now. Love to see how it's made. Great job and thank you!
This is art!
Great video! I'm really impressed by the artisanal care put into every aspect of the building process. Awesome

After seeing this, I would have no hesitation trusting the quality of Austrian Audio products!
Great to see that some things are still built with love and hard work. And it pays off! The Austrian audio stuff sounds amazing! 🤘
The CC-8 isn't half bad either 👍🏻
Ive been wanting this mic for a while now. Love your channel man!
I’ve been following you since your sessions with the URM Academy and it’s always a pleasure to keep following your journey and making us discover some wonders like these mics! Thank you buddy for what you do !
Wow, it’s been a while since then. Too bad URM have removed my old videos
@@KohleAudioKult Ah, so that's why I can't find the one where you recommend what cymbals to use in the studio.

Knowing how those microphones are built is at the core of audio recording. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Gut gemacht, Kristian! Sehr dynamisch - genau wie deine andere videos, und höchste qualität. Bitte weiter machen...
Love both you and the mic. It is fascinating to watch the process of building this mics. I'd love to see a bit about the design process as well.
Damn dude I think that was the most comprehensive mic assembly video I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing it!
Love this company, love their products. Thank you for showing us the construction process, Kristian!!!
For me this is one of the best mics out there. Really great content, I love seeing how things are done under the hood
I love the way mics are made. And even more the way they soud.!!
I've been to Vienna many times, but didn't know that the OC818 was actually built there. This was very interesting to watch how this amazing mic is created, and I really liked Jenny's nails :)
Always interesting to watch microphones being built, thanks for making this video!
Love seeing how the mic is built, I've been hoping to get one for a while now.
Watching attention to details here is too satisfying! That PCB board is looking so clean and amazing 😀
Cool to see how they produce such awesome mics! I definitely need this one for my studio as well!
This mic is already on my list of equipment to buy. Great video!
So cool to see the behind the scenes ! Danke Kohle !
I love seeing how the schnitzel is made, great video. Even if I don’t win, I’ll be getting an OC16 when I can, these guys make great mic’s.
What a hypnotically enjoyable watch. Been dreaming of an OC818 for years, now even more so.
Every day you learn something new, I love it.
I love a good, nerdy video like this! Great stuff Mr Kohle!
Thanks for the inspiration to get better equipment to the studio! Austrian Audio is on the top of the shopping list now! 🤘🏻
love that these are essentially hand made
I am so amazed by theye microphones. Just got a OC16 which is already great, but having an OC18 would be a blast.
Love this kind of videos! The production facilities and seeing the components, the process, and the people behind the product. Noice! 🤘
Wow! What an interesting process. Making mics is amazing. And those people are geniuses.
Watching professionals make masterpieces is always enlightening, I have a feeling that a OC18 would kick my little AT2020 all around the room.
Fascinating video as always! Thank you Kohle! 🤘
This is such an awesome view into the manufacturing process!
Wow! That was fascinating!! Thanks for making this video.
I honestly want to see more videos like this, I learn a lot of the how/what/why
We love everything, mics, Austrian Audio, Jenny, Christian, and most important - heavy metal! 🤟😆
Very interesting! Real craftsmanship: a small team with real know-how, that's really nice to see! It would be cool if you could make a video comparing their different microphones.
Great video! Next let's see how they make the awesome schnitzel...
The OC18 seems like an awesome mic. Watching the mylar being put on seems like the most stressful part. Very cool video to see the whole process.
with this fab tours you are slowly becoming the linus tech tips of the music industry. Super cool stuff
💋🤘
Thanks for the video. I fölött the journey of Austrian Audio since the beginning, it was great to see a little bit of an insight. Nice video! 🙂🤘
I love that one person assembled the whole mic. I’m trying to build up my mic collection now, but have never tried an Austrian Audio. This reminds me of the segment in “Mr. Rogers” where he would show you how things were made. Maybe Kristian could be the next Mr. Rogers.
So who WOULDN'T love this mic? Beautiful look, Beautiful sound
Great insights to this process and Austrian audio. Love your channel
Thank you! Truly enjoyed this. It was like watching "How Its Made" 🙂 Good to see the craftsmanship that goes into these microphones. Very curious how they sound on my vocals and instruments. Cheers!
What an amazing mic. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to win one!

Great video as usual, love to se factory tors and stuff like that, keep up the good work! \m/

or maybe not😅
Anyway
Cheers🤘🏼🍻
The OC18 looks amazing and sounds incredible!
Love you and the mic Kristian! 😂 Appreciate all the content you make! Very cool and interesting video on how mics are made 😄
I haven't had the chance to work with an Austrian audio mic, but I know I will love it! No, I love you, man! I have been learning a lot inside the KVLT and improving my mixing skills. You are the man!
I love these tour videos! Such great info.
That's a cool mic, after seen that amazing manufacture process is even more cool, really mesmerizing
Gorgeous mic! Cool look at the inner workings.
Really love your content man! I always see new video I click instantly!
