  • If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
  • The policy can be cancelled within 30 days, and at any time after that for a pro-rata discount

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

In addition to the selectable on-board polar patterns, the OC818 can utilise virtually any style of polar pattern. Polar Designer is a specialised plug-in designed by Austrian Audio to give you unprecedented control over your polar patterns. It spans between 1 and 5 bands, providing you with selectable crossover points during the mix process.

You can use this before or in post-production to edit the sound of your microphone. You can even create our own unique polar pattern using the intuitive application. The in-depth equalisation control allows you to imprint the tonality of free-field or diffuse-field responses. Additionally, the Terminator AI helps to eliminate or push selected frequencies and instruments to the front of your mix.

PolarPilot App

Using the optional OCR8 Bluetooth Remote (not included), you can control the polar patterns and settings of your microphone wirelessly. Via the PolarPilot app you can save, recall and share your favourite settings. There are 255 discrete polar patterns you can create and experiment with, allowing you to create custom settings for use with instruments, voices and more.

You can even store a single custom polar setting on the OC818 for use without the PolarPilot app. The PolarPilot App is designed for both Android and iOS devices. Control high-pass filters and pads in real-time via Bluetooth, with a 60-second OC818 clipping monitor/logger for added flexibility.

Integrated filtering and pads

The integrated controls on the front of the microphone allow you toggle filters and pad settings. Select between multiple polar patterns to cater to different recording applications.
