OM2

OVERVIEW:

Designed, assembled and tested by Audix in the USA, the OM2

is a dynamic vocal microphone used for a wide variety of live and

studio applications. The OM2 provides clear and accurate sound

reproduction, resistance to feedback and ability to handle very high

SPL (Sound Pressure Levels) without distortion.

The OM2 is designed with a tight and uniformly controlled

hypercardioid polar pattern which helps to isolate the vocals from

the rest of the instruments on stage. With a wide frequency range

of 50 Hz - 16 kHz, the OM2 employs a VLM™(Very Low Mass)

diaphragm for natural sound with exceptional transient response.

The OM2 is constructed a with slight bass proximity and a tailored

mid-range, giving it a full bodied sound on small to mid-size PA

systems. The OM2 is well balanced, comfortable to hold, durable,

and designed with high standards and tight tolerances.

The OM2 is manufactured with a precision die cast zinc alloy body,

black E-coat nish, laser etched model and serial number, steel

mesh grill, Switchcraft® or Audix XLR connector and heavy duty

nylon clip.
