Audix OM2 Hypercardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone

The Audix OM2 is a professional-grade dynamic vocal microphone designed primarily for live sound applications. It employs a hypercardioid polar pattern, which provides superior isolation of the vocal source from surrounding stage noise and instruments, making it particularly effective in environments where feedback control is crucial. The microphone is engineered to deliver a warm, full-bodied sound that performs exceptionally well on small to mid-sized public address systems, while maintaining accurate reproduction on larger, professional rigs. Key technical features include a wide frequency response of 50 Hz to 16 kHz, ensuring clarity across the vocal range. It utilises Audix's proprietary VLM™ (Very Low Mass) diaphragm technology, which contributes to a clear, precise sound with exceptional transient response. The microphone is built with a robust zinc alloy body and features a tailored mid-range and slight bass proximity effect, giving vocals presence and body. With an ability to handle very high sound pressure levels (SPL ≥140 dB) without distortion and an off-axis rejection of greater than 25 dB, it is a reliable tool for demanding live performances. The OM2 is ideally suited for vocalists, public speakers, and worship leaders performing in venues such as clubs, houses of worship, and community halls. Its straightforward design requires no external power, connecting via a standard 3-pin XLR connector. The microphone offers a practical balance of professional audio quality and durability, making it a dependable choice for regular touring use or fixed installations where consistent, feedback-resistant vocal reinforcement is needed.
