Audix OM5 Dynamic Vocal Microphone

The OM5 is a hypercardioid dynamic handheld voiced for lead vocals on a loud stage. Its VLM diaphragm delivers a clear, present midrange with a controlled top end, and the tight hypercardioid pattern - rated around 30 dB of off-axis rejection - maximizes separation from monitors and backline so a singer can push the gain without ringing the room.

Rugged e-coat construction and an internal shock mount keep handling noise low through nightly use, and the mic handles high SPLs without distortion. No phantom power is required. A dependable step up from entry-level handhelds for front singers who work close to loud monitors.
