Audix OM5 Dynamic Hypercardioid Microphone

zZounds Gear Experts Say...

With impressive 144 dB SPL handling and a tight hypercardioid pickup pattern, the Audix OM5 handheld mic delivers plenty of output while reducing feedback.

Overview

The design of the Audix 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 Audix 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

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.

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

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.

Features

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...

Ease of Use

Plug it in...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.

Manufacturer Support

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