This week (we're late I know) we are shooting out the Austrian Audio OC16 against the AKG414 XL2 and our hand made C12 clone. We dive into the history of AKG as well as the beginnings of Austrian Audio, then take a look at the OC16. This week will feature a vocal test for the first time. We finally found a way to do it and take a lot of the performance element out of the comparison equation.

Our artist this week is Gina Bilardi
