Engineered and manufactured in Austria, its high sensitivity and low self-noise means it can handle everything from a whisper, to extreme SPLs without distortion, making it the perfect choice for studio, live and broadcast applications. The unique ceramic capsule design is so consistent, the OC18 can be match-paired with any other OC18 or paired with any OC818 set in cardioid mode.

Review by Paul W. on 15 Apr 2025review stating Great Kit
This kit responds very well from ghost notes to hard hits, the kit is very solid and can take hard playing, I'm happy with the samples in the module as well as getting the BFD player as well, I'm using the kit at church as well as jamming and everyone says it sounds great!
