Handheld Dynamic Microphone For Live Vocals And Stage Performance
The Audix OM3 is a handheld dynamic vocal microphone built for singers, presenters, and performers who need strong vocal clarity and dependable feedback control on loud stages. Designed for live sound, rehearsal spaces, and studio tracking, the OM3 delivers focused vocal pickup while reducing unwanted stage noise and monitor bleed.
Hypercardioid Pickup For Maximum Vocal Isolation
Featuring a hypercardioid polar pattern, the OM3 captures sound primarily from the front of the microphone while rejecting off-axis noise from stage monitors and nearby instruments. This tight pickup pattern helps maintain high gain before feedback, making the OM3 a reliable choice for small to mid-sized PA systems, houses of worship, and live music venues.
Dynamic Capsule Tuned For Clear And Natural Vocals
The dynamic microphone element uses a low-mass diaphragm that responds quickly to vocal transients and articulation. With a frequency response of 50 Hz to 18 kHz, the OM3 emphasizes vocal intelligibility with a controlled low-end rise and a presence boost in the upper midrange, helping vocals sit clearly in a live mix without sounding harsh.
Handles Loud Sound Sources Without Distortion
Capable of managing sound pressure levels up to 144 dB, the OM3 performs consistently even with powerful vocalists and high-volume stage environments. This makes it suitable not only for lead and backing vocals but also for close-miking amplified instruments when needed.
Road-Ready Construction For Touring And Daily Use
The microphone body is built from durable zinc alloy and topped with a dent-resistant steel mesh grille to withstand regular handling and transport. A gold-plated XLR connector ensures reliable signal transfer with professional mixers and microphone preamps, while low handling noise keeps unwanted movement sounds out of the mix.
Designed And Built For Professional Audio Applications
Designed, assembled, and tested in the USA, the OM3 reflects Audix’s focus on professional performance and durability. The microphone ships with a standard mic clip and carrying pouch, making it ready for immediate use in live sound and recording setups.
