Professional Hypercardioid Vocal Microphone For Live Stage And Studio
The Audix OM5 is a handheld dynamic vocal microphone engineered for concert-level performance, delivering tight pattern control, high gain before feedback, and powerful vocal clarity for live sound, broadcast, and studio applications. Designed to isolate vocals from surrounding instruments, the OM5 helps performers cut through dense mixes on loud stages while maintaining accuracy and control.
Hypercardioid Pattern For Maximum Vocal Isolation
Built with an extremely tight and consistently controlled hypercardioid polar pattern, the OM5 focuses directly on the vocalist while rejecting off-axis sound from stage monitors, drums, and amplifiers. This directional precision improves feedback resistance and allows higher output levels before feedback occurs. For singers working with high-powered PA systems, floor wedges, or in-ear monitors, this microphone offers reliable vocal separation and stability.
Handles High SPL Without Distortion
The OM5 dynamic capsule is designed to manage sound pressure levels exceeding 144 dB, making it suitable not only for strong vocalists but also for high-energy stage environments. Whether used for lead vocals, backing vocals, or loud instrument amplification, the microphone maintains clarity and detail without distortion or compression artifacts that can compromise performance.
Tailored Frequency Response For Clear Vocal Presence
With a frequency response optimized for vocals, the OM5 naturally reduces low-frequency boominess around 120 Hz to minimize handling noise and excessive proximity effect. A carefully shaped mid-range presence boost enhances articulation and intelligibility, helping vocals sit forward in the mix without sounding harsh. This makes the OM5 ideal for rock, pop, worship, broadcast speech, and other live vocal applications.
Durable Construction For Touring And Daily Use
The OM5 features a rugged zinc alloy body and a dent-resistant steel mesh grille built for the demands of touring and frequent stage use. Its solid construction protects the capsule while keeping handling noise low. The gold-plated XLR connector ensures dependable signal transfer and compatibility with professional mixing consoles, audio interfaces, and live sound systems.
Designed And Tested In The USA For Professional Performance
Engineered, assembled, and tested in the United States, the OM5 reflects a commitment to consistent build quality and reliable performance. For performers seeking a hypercardioid dynamic vocal microphone that offers exceptional isolation, high output capability, and clarity on premium PA systems, the OM5 is a proven solution.
