Audix OM-5

Handheld Dynamic Hypercardioid Mic, Extra-Tight Response, Hi Output

The design of the OM-5 was in response to the market's demand for a super high-output mic with natural, undistorted sound.
It features an extremely tight hypercardioid pattern and a specially designed VLM type-C capsule that delivers very high output, unsurpassed gain before feedback and smooth response with exceptional vocal clarity.
Unlike other brands using neodymium magnets, which results in unnatural sound and excessive feedback, the OM5 does not sacrifice sonic quality or feedback rejection to achieve its high levels of gain.

The OM5 is characterized with an extremely tight and uniformly controlled hypercardioid polar pattern which helps to isolate the vocals from the rest of the instruments on stage. With a wide frequency range of 48 Hz - 19 kHz, the OM5 employs a VLM™ (Very Low Mass) diaphragm for natural response, accurate sound reproduction and exceptional transient response.

The OM5 is naturally attenuated at 120 Hz to reduce boominess and handling noise. The mid-range is tailored for presence allowing the vocalist to be more easily heard in the mains as well as the monitors. The OM5 is comfortable to hold, durable and manufactured with high standards and tight tolerances.

Roadworthy construction includes a precision die cast zinc alloy body, black e-coat finish, laser etched model and serial number, steel mesh grill, and Switchcraft® XLR connector.

Comes with cordura carrying case and nylon mic clip.
