Audix OM7 Microphone Dynamic Vocal

Low-Output Dynamic Hypercardioid Microphone with Extra-Tight Respseon

The Audix OM7 is a dynamic vocal microphone designed and manufactured in the USA by Audix. It’s specifically tailored for professional sound companies, front of house engineers, mixing engineers, and high-profile fixed installations, with a focus on delivering exceptional performance in live sound settings. The key features and characteristics of the Audix OM7 microphone include:

Unprecedented Gain Before Feedback:

The OM7 is renowned for its ability to provide high gain before feedback on concert-level stages. This means that performers can use the microphone at higher volumes without experiencing the distracting and often disruptive effects of feedback.

Resistance to Feedback on Loud Stages:

The microphone is particularly adept at handling extremely loud stages without succumbing to feedback issues. This makes it suitable for situations where performers are accompanied by high-volume instruments.

Feedback Resistance for “Cupping”:

Some performers have a tendency to cup the microphone with both hands, which can exacerbate feedback issues. The OM7 is designed to resist feedback even when held in this manner.

Low Output Level:

The OM7 has an intentionally low output level, about 8-10 dB lower than typical dynamic microphones. This design choice serves as a natural pad at the capsule to maintain high fidelity while dealing with high sound pressures.

Hypercardioid Polar Pattern:

The microphone features a super-tight hypercardioid polar pattern. This means that it primarily captures sound coming from the front while minimizing pickup from the sides and rear. This helps isolate vocals from other instruments on stage.

Frequency Range:

The microphone covers a wide frequency range from 48 Hz to 19 kHz, allowing it to capture a broad spectrum of sound.

VLM Diaphragm:

The microphone employs a Very Low Mass (VLM) diaphragm, which contributes to its clean and punchy sound with exceptional transient response. This enhances the clarity of vocals and instruments.

Durable Construction:

The OM7 is manufactured to high standards with tight tolerances. It features a precision die-cast zinc alloy body, a durable black E-coat finish, a dent-resistant steel mesh grill, and a gold-plated XLR connector.

Applications:

The microphone is suitable for lead and backing vocals, live recordings, broadcast, home studio use (both vocals and instruments), as well as a variety of instruments including sax, brass, guitar, dobro, flute, percussion, and drums.

Package Contents:

The package includes the OM7 Vocal Microphone, MC1 Microphone Clip for mounting, and a P1 Carrying Pouch for storage and transport.

Professional Warranty:

The microphone comes with a 5-year warranty, reflecting its durability and the manufacturer’s confidence in its performance.

Controlled Low-Gain Output Stage:

The design of the OM-7 incorporates a controlled low-gain output stage, contributing to higher gain before feedback and delivering clear, natural, and undistorted sound even in demanding live conditions.

Overall, the Audix OM7 is a high-quality microphone designed to excel in live sound scenarios, offering outstanding gain before feedback, excellent isolation, and a clear, accurate sound reproduction.
