The Austrian Audio PolarPilot app turns your smartphone (iOS or Android) into a full-featured remote control for the OC818<\/a> large-diaphragm condenser microphone. Simply insert the OCR8 dongle into the microphone, pair it with your phone over Bluetooth, and you\u2019re ready to go. Using this powerful free<\/strong> app, you can manipulate the OC818\u2019s polar patterns and other functions all in real time and without so much as leaving your chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full Control, Pure Analogue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From the PolarPilot app, you can dial in your choice of polar patterns on the OC818, choosing from among 255 discrete possibilities, on a spectrum from omni all the way to figure-eight, including many cardioid and hypercardioid options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to managing polar pattern choices, PolarPilot also allows you to remotely adjust the microphone\u2019s switchable high-pass filter (with 40, 80, and 160 Hz options) and activate one of two pad options (-10 and \u201320 dB).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All your customized settings can be saved, recalled, and shared. You can even assign one custom setting to a physical switch on the OC818 for use when the PolarPilot isn\u2019t connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A handy clipping monitor shows visual evidence of overloading in the last sixty seconds, and you can access a log showing all incidents of clipping, times-stamped for your convenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PolarPilot\u2019s digital controls operate separately from the OC818\u2019s signal pathways. The OC818 audio and bias paths remain purely analogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to the Easy Life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The life of the audio engineer (and the assistant!) just got a little easier. With the PolarPilot app and the Austrian Audio OC818, you\u2019ll be doing a lot less running between control room and isolation booth, and a lot less jumping up on stage to reconfigure a microphone. Keep your seat, and let the PolarPilot App do the work for you. Check out the video to see PolarPilot in action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
