Austrian Audio - OCW8 Windshield

The OCW8 Windshield is the essential accessory for securing recordings made with the Austrian Audio OC818 and OC18 microphones, whether in the studio, for close vocal recording or when recording in more exposed conditions.

Designed to the same exacting standards as the brand's microphones, this windscreen blends in perfectly with the design and dimensions of Austrian Audio's capsules, without compromising on sound reproduction.

Its main role is to effectively reduce airborne noise, plosives and turbulence generated by the voice or the environment. It acts as an acoustic shield while maintaining the clarity, definition and frequency response of the microphones.

Unlike generic windscreens, the OCW8 is precisely matched to the OC818 and OC18, guaranteeing a secure fit and even effectiveness across the entire spectrum.

The structure of the foam has been selected to offer an optimum balance between mechanical attenuation and sonic transparency. Attacks remain natural, midrange remains articulate and high frequencies are not unnecessarily muffled.

This approach makes it possible to work with confidence on sung voices, spoken voices, close miking or situations requiring greater breath control.
