I wanted to get a nicer condenser mic and found one of these babies on sale. The OC16 uses afaik the same capsule as the higher end OC18 and OC818 mics, but with a much more bare bones feature set. There's only a off/40 Hz/160 Hz low cut feature on it. I wish they had offered at least the 80 Hz cut option found on the OC18 here as that would be spot on for guitar. Maybe it could be modded for that, dunno.
No recordings worth posting, I'm learning to use it still. So far I like it best when it's used a bit further away from a cab, or as a room mic. It seems to do a good job capturing what you hear like that and doesn't require a lot of post-processing. I probably wouldn't recommend it for high gain tones, I think it sounds best for lower gain stuff. I would call it pretty neutral in a good way.
Comes with a case, a standard mic mount and an isolated mount. The isolated mount is maybe not the highest quality but should not have any issues.
PS. Mic reviews and comparisons on YT really, really suck. So many of them are just podcasting stuff with no other instruments tested.
