Audix OM2 Handheld Hypercardioid Dynamic Microphone w/ Switch

The Audix OM2S is a handheld hypercardioid dynamic microphone designed to deliver highly directional capture of vocals and instruments in recording sessions and live stage applications. It boasts low handling noise and a hypercardioid polar pattern, which not only minimizes feedback caused by nearby monitors and speakers, but also reduces the pickup of stage bleed and room ambience. The dynamic element's low-mass diaphragm responds quickly to transients and handles sound pressure levels up to 140 dB.

It produces a frequency response of 50 Hz to 16 kHz with a mild rise centered at approximately 150 Hz along with a moderate presence boost above 2 kHz. 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. An on/off switch is provided for convenient muting of the mic between speeches or performances.

Features:

• VLM Type-B capsule delivers quick transient response and a warm, full sound with gentle bass proximity
• Hypercardioid polar pattern provides off-axis rejection of over 25 dB and high gain before feedback
• Slight rise peaking at 150 Hz and approximately 5 dB of boost from 3 to 6 kHz
• Can be used for a wide variety of instruments and vocals
• Maximum SPL of 140 dB allows audio capture of loud sources without distortion
• Low handling noise
• Provides excellent vocal isolation on stage
• Durable zinc alloy housing with dent-resistant steel mesh grille
