Audix OM5 Handheld Dynamic Vocal Microphone

Audix OM5 Handheld Dynamic Vocal Microphone High-Performance Vocal Mic with Tight Pattern Control and Studio-Grade Clarity The Audix OM5 is a premium handheld dynamic vocal microphone designed for professional stage, studio, and broadcast applications. Engineered with a precisely controlled hypercardioid polar pattern, the OM5 offers exceptional off-axis rejection and superior isolation of the vocalist from surrounding instruments. This allows vocals to cut clearly through the mix, even in high-volume environments. With a tailored frequency response that emphasizes vocal presence and a natural attenuation below 120 Hz, the OM5 reduces handling noise and boominess, ensuring clean, focused vocal reproduction. Capable of handling SPLs over 144 dB without distortion, this mic is ideal for high-energy performances and dynamic vocal delivery. Constructed from durable zinc alloy with a dent-resistant spring steel grill and finished in a sleek black E-coat, the OM5 is built for the rigors of touring and live production. Like all Audix mics, it's designed, assembled, and tested in the USA, and comes with a 5-year warranty for long-lasting reliability.
