Audix OM7 Hypercardioid Dynamic Microphone SKU# OM7

The OM7 vocal dynamic microphone is used by professional sound companies, front of house and mixing engineers as well as high-profile fixed installations. The OM7 provides unprecedented gain before feedback on concert level stages without sacrificing sound quality. In addition, the mic is very resistant to feedback on extremely loud stages and for performers who tend to “cup” the microphone with both hands.

In order to achieve these extraordinary performance benefits, the OM7 dynamic vocal microphone is designed with an unconventionally low output level (8-10 dB lower than typical dynamic microphones). This low output level acts as a natural “pad” at the capsule in order to maintain high fidelity at the source. The OM7 hypercardioid microphone is best suited for use with high-quality mixing consoles that have plenty of headroom to compensate for the low gain.

The OM7 is characterized with a super-tight hypercardioid polar pattern which effectively isolates the vocals from the rest of the instruments on stage. With a wide frequency range of 48 Hz - 19 kHz, the OM7 employs a VLM™(Very Low Mass) diaphragm for a very clean and punchy sound with exceptional transient response. Well balanced, comfortable to hold and durable, the OM7 is manufactured with very high standards and tight tolerances. The OM7 includes a precision die cast zinc alloy body, durable black E-coat finish, dent resistant steel mesh grill and gold plated XLR connector.

• Ideal for vocals, speech, horns, guitars, flute, percussion, and drums
• Hypercardioid polar pattern provides off-axis rejection of over 30 dB and extremely high gain before feedback
• 48 Hz to 19 kHz frequency response with a mild rise in the low-mid frequencies for added body, and a presence boost for high-end clarity
• VLM Type C capsule delivers great transient response
• High maximum SPL of 144 dB easily handles vocals, drums, and amplified instruments
• Unconventionally low output level (8 to 10 dB lower than typical dynamic microphones) serves as a natural pad at the capsule in order to maintain high fidelity at the source
• Intentionally low output level makes the OM7 best suited for use with mixing consoles and mic preamps that have plenty of headroom to compensate for the OM7's low output
