OM5

OVERVIEW

Designed, assembled and tested by Audix in the USA, the OM5 is a dynamic vocal

microphone used for stage, studio, and broadcast applications. The OM5 is known for

its clarity, resistance to feedback, and ability to handle very high SPL (Sound Pressure

Levels) in excess of 144 dB without distortion..

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

designed with high standards and tight tolerances.

The OM5 is manufactured with a precision die cast zinc alloy body, durable black

E-coat ﬁnish, dent resistant steel mesh grill and gold plated XLR connector.
