"Excellent Microphone..."

Feature:
I'd have given it a 10 if it had a built-in on/off switch. But then again, since I don't actually use it...

Quality:
Quality looks to be first class.

Value:
Since it does what it's supposed to do I think it is good value for the money spent.

Sound:
I don't use the microphone, the other guy in the duo does. But the microphone does what it's supposed to do. I use a Bose L1 system and this microphone works well with the Bose without any feedback, etc. The vocalist likes the sound of his voice through it. Sounds just like his voice. No complaints.

Ease of Use:
Plug it in...use it.

Support:
Don't know. Never had to deal with Audix support.

Overall:
It works great with the Bose L1. That's all that I'm concerned about. No need to replace it with anything else.

"Forget the SM58 and get the OM-5"

Feature:
It plugs in, sounds great, and has low feedback response. What else are you expecting to find in a microphone?

Quality:
Mines been pretty beat up over the last few years. Hasn't affected the performance at all.

Value:
More expensive than my Shure sm58 but it was worth every penny. An extra fifty bucks isn't much for some you will still be using years down the road.

Desirability:
Looks good. Rugged black steel construction.

Sound:
I haven't used a lot of different microphones. Just an Audix OM-5 and a Shure sm58. The sm58 is very popular and considered the industry standard for live microphones but every time I've compared them in a live setting the Audix OM-5 produces a noticable better vocal sound. The sm58 was demoted to miking the guitar amplifier a long time ago.

Support:
Don't really know because I've never needed support from the company. That rates a 10 in my book.

Overall:
No need to plan on replacing this item because I would just buy another one (maybe I'd consider the OM-6 or OM-7). This microphone has been a trusty companion. I've never regretted buying it and never considered replacing it. There aren't too many pieces of equipment I can say that about.

About This Product!
Description
Docs
From Our Catalog
The design of the OM-5 was in response to the market's demand for a super high-output mic with natural, undistorted sound. Unlike other brands using neodymium magnets, which results in unnatural sound and excessive feedback, the OM-5 does not sacrifice sonic quality or feedback rejection to achieve its high levels of gain.

Features
Dynamic hypercardioid element

High output with gentle presence rise and smooth proximity response

VLM equipped offers unmatched noise and feedback rejection

48Hz to 19kHz frequency response

144db SPL handling

Durable zinc alloy construction

Electronically cut blast filter with black E-coat finish

Comes with carry pouch and nylon mic clip
Classy-sounding mic with a smooth frequency response and an impressive 144dB SPL handling. That means you get clean response even at the top of your lungs!
