The OM5 vocal dynamic microphone is made with an extremely tight and uniformly controlled hypercardioid polar pattern which isolates the vocals from the rest of the instruments on stage or in a studio.
Used on stage, in studios and for broadcast applications, the OM5 hypercardioid microphone has a reputation for clarity, resistance to feedback, and the ability to handle SPLs in excess of 144 dB without distortion.
The OM5 dynamic vocal microphone is naturally attenuated at 120 Hz to reduce boominess and handling noise. The mid-range is tailored to provide an extra presence in the vocals allowing the vocalist to be easily heard through the main speakers as well as the monitors.
Designed, assembled, and tested by Audix in the USA.
