With Austrian Audio's OCR8 Bluetooth module and the PolarPilot app (free download for iOS and Android from the Apple App Store and Google Play), you can remotely control your OC818 microphone from your smartphone or tablet. Powered by the 48 volt phantom powering the microphone, the OCR8 is activated by setting the Preset switch ("•" position all the way to the right). Once paired with your device, the PolarPilot app gives you full wireless control over the OC818's polar patterns, high-pass filters, and pads. The app also features an overload monitor that displays a red bar if the signal is too high. In this case, activating the 10dB pad will reduce the capsule's bias voltage and protect the microphone's internal circuitry against clipping.
