Low Output Hypercardioid Dynamic Microphone For High Volume Stages
The Audix OM7 is a handheld hypercardioid dynamic microphone designed specifically for extremely loud stages and high-SPL environments. Built with low output sensitivity and exceptional feedback resistance, it is optimized for powerful vocalists, aggressive monitor levels, and high-volume live sound systems. Whether used for lead vocals, broadcast speech, horns, guitar cabinets, or drums, the OM7 delivers focused, controlled performance where standard microphones struggle.
Engineered For Maximum Gain Before Feedback
The OM7 features a tightly controlled hypercardioid polar pattern that significantly reduces off-axis pickup from stage wedges, side fills, and ambient noise. This precision pattern allows engineers to achieve higher gain before feedback, making it ideal for large concert venues, touring rigs, houses of worship, and professional PA systems. Vocal isolation remains strong even in dense stage mixes.
Low Output Design For Handling Extremely Loud Sources
Unlike many dynamic vocal microphones, the OM7 is intentionally designed with lower output sensitivity. This characteristic reduces the risk of overdriving microphone preamps and provides better control when capturing loud singers or amplified instruments. It performs exceptionally well with high-powered consoles and professional mic preamps, maintaining clarity without distortion even at very high sound pressure levels.
Wide Frequency Response With Controlled Presence
With a frequency response of 48 Hz to 19 kHz, the OM7 captures detailed lows, articulate mids, and extended highs. The response is shaped to provide vocal presence without excessive brightness, allowing voices to cut through a mix naturally. Its low-mass diaphragm responds quickly to transients, preserving articulation and dynamic nuance while keeping handling noise minimal.
Durable Construction For Touring And Daily Use
Built with a rugged metal body and a dent-resistant steel grille, the OM7 is designed to withstand the demands of touring and live production. The gold-plated 3-pin XLR connector ensures reliable signal transfer and long-term durability. Its solid construction and low handling noise make it dependable for stage, rehearsal, studio tracking, and broadcast use.
Designed And Tested In The USA For Professional Reliability
Engineered, assembled, and tested in the United States, the OM7 reflects professional-grade manufacturing standards. For performers and engineers searching for a hypercardioid dynamic microphone that thrives in loud stage environments and provides superior feedback control, the OM7 remains a trusted choice.
