Audix AP42OM5 Dual-Channel Handheld Wireless System
The Audix AP42OM5 is a Performance Series analog UHF wireless system built around the Audix OM5 handheld dynamic. The AP42 puts two independent channels in one rack space. The R42 is a dual-channel antenna-diversity receiver covering a 32 MHz window with 106 pre-coordinated frequencies, and up to 8 systems can operate together. Auto scan and infrared sync set each channel up in seconds.
The OM5 has been one of the most respected handheld dynamics on the market since the mid-1990s, on stage, in studios and for broadcast. It is known for clarity, feedback resistance, and the ability to handle SPL in excess of 144 dB without distortion.
