Audix OM5 DYNAMIC VOCAL MICROPHONE
First produced in 1995, the OM5
dynamic vocal microphone has become highly regarded by artists and engineers for its ability to produce quality sound at very high
sound pressure levels without distortion or feedback. The OM5 is naturally
attenuated at 120 Hz to reduce boominess and handling noise. The mid-range is
tailored for clarity and presence making it easier for the vocals to be heard both in the mains and monitors. By employing Audix’s VLM (very
low mass) capsule technology, the OM5 has exceptional transient response. An extremely
tight and uniformly controlled hypercardioid pattern helps to isolate the vocals
from the rest of the instruments on stage. The OM5 is comfortable to hold,
durable, and manufactured with extremely tight tolerances. The result is
an unparalleled consistency in sound and performance at a very competitive
price.
