Design the polar pattern of your dreams.

PolarDesigner gives engineers and producers more creative freedom and control than they’ve ever had before. Simply pull up PolarDesigner in your DAW to manipulate your recorded audio, changing and recombining polar patterns (omni, cardioid, hypercardioid, figure-eight, etc.) across up to five frequency bands. So hours, days, or even years after the musicians have all packed up and gone home, you can reshape the sonic characteristics of the microphones that captured their performances.

Austrian Audio’s PolarDesigner open-source plug-in is a post-production dream come true. Optimised for use with our OC818 and OC-S10 large-diaphragm condenser microphone working in dual-output mode, PolarDesigner gives engineers and producers more creative freedom and control than they’ve ever had before.
