The Audix OM5 Dynamic Cable Professional Microphone is audio equipment that has a reputation for an ability to handle excess sound pressure levels, clarity, and resistance to feedback. The OM5 is a solid, concert-level professional vocal mic offering clear, accurate sound with a slight mid-range boost. The Audix OM5 Dynamic Cable Professional Microphone’s design provides true clarity to vocals and music through mains and monitor speakers by delivering a high-performance transient response through Audix’s very low mass technology.

Naturally attenuated at 120 Hz, this Audix dynamic mic diminishes boominess and handles noise well.

The Audix OM5 Dynamic Cable Professional Microphone is characterized by an extremely tight and uniformly controlled hypercardioid polar pattern that isolates vocals from other instruments on stage. With a wide frequency range of 48 Hz to 19 kHz, an impedance of 200 ohms, and a sensitivity at 1k 1.8 mV/Pa, the OM5 employs a very low mass diaphragm for exceptional transient response, natural response, and accurate sound reproduction.

Audix OM5's are top notch work horse vocal mics
I've performed 1000's of shows, sang through a myriad of vocal mics and the OM5 has become one of my top 4 live performance vocal mics (alongside Beta58, EV 767a and Audio Technica AE3300). I put it a notch above the Beta58 because of its feedback rejection while still being able to retain the vocal tonality of most singers. It works great for either female or male vocalists (this is a BIG deal to me when putting on shows and singers are coming up for one offs). I would put the EV 767 right beside it but the EV has a different proximity, making the vocalist having to figure the mic out, if you will, in order to get the best out of it (EV's actually have just as good of feedback rejection - maybe slightly better). I used to be a die hard Beta 58 fan until I got a couple of these. I'm sticking with them. I only put the AE3300 alongside these because it's my favorite vocal mic hands down. But it's not fair to compare it to the OM5 as it's a cardioid condenser mic that requires phantom power, has about 6-10db more gain and sounds as pro as you can ask for in a live situation. The AE3300 suffers, however, from feedback potential. Where you can grab an OM5 around its screen and get no feedback, you will get squealing noises out of the AE3300 doing the same thing. I could sit here and compare a dozen other vocal mics against the OM5 but I don't want to nauseate everyone. Yaaawwwn...Just buy an OM5, try it out and I'm pretty confident you'll realize how versatile & rock solid they are. You certainly won't be disappointed.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Awesome Mic!!!
I have been playing rock-n-roll music out in public for the past 45 yrs and still playing strong today! I have used probably every mic known to date at one time or another and kept hearing great things about the Audix OM-5 but never had used one until I got this one for Christmas this year. Holy cow is this thing awesome! I have been using an SM57 for the past several years, kept going back to this or my EV mics, which I really like, but this mic is soooo much clearer than anything I have used to date. It is so clear it is scary how much better it sounds live. No feedback at all on stage no matter what. We have 3 singers in the 4 piece rock band I play in and have played 4 times since the beginning of the New Year, 2016 and our bass player uses a Beta SM58, the other guitar player uses an OM-2 and both of them are now going to get one of these. It blows there's face down in the dirt. It takes a lot more juice on the mixer to get the same volume, so don't be surprised if you have to crank the slide up to achieve the same volume as your previous mic. For "rock style shows" I'd recommend the OM5 simply because those types of shows are as much "combat audio" as anything else. The additional isolation and consistent sound of the OM5 trumps "a better sounding mic" that doesn't isolate as well and is inconsistent if you're on and off the mic, which is characteristic of the Beta 58 or SM 58. Best gain before feedback as well. This mic has so much more warmth and detail than any other mic I have used and the bottom end is super clear where as the other mics seem to get muddy and muffled. You have to get right up on this mic though as it isolates very well. If you back off a couple inches you won't be in the mix. We sing lots of harmonies and I noticed I was not being heard if I backed off too far. Great mic and I have no use for the other dozen or so mics I have. Craigslist bound for them now. May keep 1 EV as a backup.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Lives up to expectations !
I bought the Audix OM5 as a gift for the female vocalist in our group. As she was sound checking with her regular microphone, I pulled out the OM5 and told her to try it out. Once I explained the pickup pattern and how to properly use the OM5, she began to sing, and immediately got the biggest grin on her face. Needless to say, she loves it ! Great output, no feedback.Looks great, and it feels good in the hand. Now I'm going to have to buy another one for myself. This mic made the whole, difference for us.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Amazing microphone.
A huge improvement from something like the SM58. The tight polar pattern really keeps the mic from feedbacking. You can REALLY drive the mic to your monitor and it still won't feedback. The build quality is top, the sound quality is clear as crystal. Put a popperblocker inside of the grill and you have a new favorite Vocal mic, I guarantee it. You can literally be RIGHT on top of the mic and yell your guts out and it will still sound incredibly detailed and won't distort. Incredible mic!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Awesome for the price I paid!
A great sounding mic! Doesn't feed back very easily which is great. Perfect for a voice that doesn't have a lot of BOOM to it. Very happy with the purchase so far!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Nice sound with tight pickup pattern
I have had great success with these mics in various live sound situations. The louder the stage situation has been, the easier I have been able to get a lead vocal to cut through the mix with these. The pickup pattern is tight which allows for higher gain before feedback. Also because the pattern is tight, you spend more time eqing the source than eqing to eliminate what you wish the mic wasn't picking up. I am not hung up using a mic because it is an industry standard. I prefer these mics on most vocals over a Beta58. They will require a little instruction to the singers. If they fade off the mic more than a little or try to sing from the side, they will not be heard.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A step up from a Beta 58.
I really like this mic. Sound quality is a bit better than my Shure Beta 58. It’s a little more directional and because of that more resistant to feedback.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great mic for controlled needs for a dynamic mic.
Very bright mic, much more directional than an SM58. Great for instruments and vocals for singers with disciplined mic positioning.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
