Austrian Audio OC-B6 Condenser Bass Drum Microphone
Unleash the full force of your kick drum with the Austrian Audio OC-B6. It’s the world’s first large-diaphragm condenser mic built solely for kick drums. Made in Vienna, it captures every detail — from deep vintage boom to sharp modern attack. Best of all, it does this without distortion or added EQ. Built to handle sound pressure beyond 170 dB, the OC-B6 delivers pure, raw kick drum tone that commands attention.
Versatile Placement for Perfect Sound
The OC-B6 adapts to your style with a unique 220° swivel head. As a result, you can place it inside the shell, at the port, or outside the drum. Its compact, tough design holds up through studio sessions and live shows alike. So no matter your setup, you get the same clear, consistent sound.
Advanced Engineering for Ultimate Performance
Discrete electronics give you fast transient response and extreme headroom. In addition, you get clean, stable audio free from distortion. The built-in 25 Hz subsonic filter cuts unwanted rumble while keeping your headroom intact. Furthermore, the integrated stand thread speeds up your setup so you can focus on the music.
Revolutionary CKR6-B Capsule Technology
At the core of the OC-B6 is the CKR6-B capsule, built for extreme SPL handling and precise low-end response. Unlike standard capsules, it stays clear and musical at levels that would overwhelm other mics. The result is a powerful, open sound that captures the true character of your kick drum.
