Austrian Audio OC-B6
The Austrian Audio OC-B6 is a highly versatile bass drum microphone designed to deliver consistent, professional results across all standard kick drum mic positions. Whether placed outside the drum, at the port, or inside the shell, the OC-B6 maintains a balanced and controlled sound, making it an ideal choice for both live and studio environments.
Unlike many traditional kick drum microphones that are optimized for a specific placement, the OC-B6 is engineered for flexibility. This allows engineers to adapt quickly to different setups, musical styles, and stage conditions without the need to switch microphones. From tight, modern punch to more open and vintage tones, the OC-B6 provides a neutral and detailed foundation for further shaping.
Built around Austrian Audio’s CKR6-B capsule, the OC-B6 offers exceptional sound quality and an extremely high SPL handling of over 170 dB, ensuring distortion-free performance even in the most demanding situations. The result is a pure, uncolored signal that gives full control over tone shaping at the source or in the mix.
The 220° rotatable head and compact housing make positioning easy, even in tight setups, while the rugged construction ensures long-term reliability for touring and professional studio use.
