Austrian Audio OC818 Studio Set

In my small home studio, I was in search of a high-class vocal microphone that could also serve other purposes. I decided to try out this microphone, being compared with the old school AKGs, hoping it would elevate my recordings.
However, it didn't quite meet my expectations for vocals. There's a strange, sharp hiss in the high frequencies that doesn't sound good to my ears. After noticing this, I found others mentioning the same issue on Reddit, and realized this "sharpness" is very audible even in samples of other, cheaper AU microphones on Thomann. The polar pattern feature is pretty cool, but overall, I feel this microphone is too much for my needs.
In the end, I think I'll opt for the SE44000, which offers a much smoother sound at a more affordable price. It seems like a better fit for my home studio setup. Still this is probably a really amazing microphone for someone else.
