Austrian Audio OCR 8 Bluetooth Dongle

With Austrian Audio's OCR8 Bluetooth module and the PolarPilot app (free download for iOS and Android in the Apple App Store and on Google Play), you can remotely control your OC818 from your smartphone or tablet. Powered by the 48V phantom that powers the mic, the OCR8 is activated via the Preset mode switch setting (the "•" position all the way to the right). Once paired with your device, the PolarPilot app gives you full wireless control over the OC818's polar patterns, highpass filters, and pads. The app also features an overload monitor that displays a red bar if the signal is too loud. In which case, engaging the 10dB pad will reduce bias voltage to the capsule and protect the mic’s internal circuitry from clipping.

The new Vienna classics

Carrying on the rich legacy of high-end Viennese microphone design into the modern era, Austrian Audio is driven by an engineering team with over 300 years of combined experience. Their motto: "Making Passion Heard." Their mission: to design and manufacture a new generation of recording tools that embrace cutting-edge technologies and sonic excellence while honoring Vienna's rich musical heritage. That vision is realized in the Austrian Audio's proprietary handcrafted CKR12 large-diaphragm capsule, which is used in the company's excellent OC18 and OC818 condenser microphones.
