Audix OM5 Handheld Hypercardioid Dynamic Microphone
Key Features
  • Hypercardioid Polar Pattern
  • Dynamic Element with Low-Mass Diaphragm
  • 48 Hz to 19 kHz Frequency Response
  • High Immunity to Feedback
The Audix OM5 is a handheld hypercardioid dynamic microphone optimized for reproduction of vocals, speech, horns, guitars, and drums in live sound, studio sessions, and broadcast applications. It boasts low handling noise and a hypercardioid polar pattern, which is effective in minimizing residual ambience and feedback caused by nearby monitors and speakers. The dynamic element's low-mass diaphragm responds quickly to transients and handles sound pressure levels up to 144 dB.

It produces a frequency response of 48 Hz to 19 kHz with a dip at 120 Hz, a mild rise in the low-mid frequencies, and a wide presence boost. The gold-plated XLR 3-pin output ensures compatibility with most microphone preamps and mixer inputs, and the zinc alloy body with a dent-resistant steel mesh grille provides road-ready protection and durability. The OM5 was designed, assembled, and tested in the USA, and ships with a microphone clip and carrying pouch..
