Description

The Audix OM5 is a dynamic vocal mic that aims to change the level of expectation performers and engineers expect from a stage-rugged vocal mic. The Audix OM5 microphone features a feedback-fighting, bleed-rejecting hypercardioid pattern, handles 144dB SPL without breaking up, and rolls off below 120Hz for a great, natural sound, devoid of handling noise and low-end plosives.

Here’s what Audix say about the OM5 Dynamic Mic

Vocals, lead & backing – tight pattern control and tailored response enables vocals to cut through the mix.

The OM5 is made with an extremely tight and uniformly controlled hypercardioid polar pattern which isolates the vocals from the rest of the instruments on stage or in a studio.

Used on stage, in studios and for broadcast applications, the OM5 has a reputation for clarity, resistance to feedback and ability to handle SPLs in excess of 144 dB without distortion.

The OM5 is naturally attenuated at 120 Hz to reduce boominess and handling noise. The mid-range is tailored to provide extra presence in the vocals allowing the vocalist to be easily heard through the main speakers as well as the monitors.

Broadcast

Broadcast microphones are designed for clear, controlled speech in radio, podcasting and voice-over environments. They are built to reject background noise, handle close-up use without distortion, and keep the voice consistent even when the speaker moves slightly off-axis. This makes them ideal for studios, streaming desks and spoken-word production where clarity and intelligibility matter most.

Typically dynamic or large-diaphragm condenser designs, broadcast mics focus on smooth midrange presence, reduced sibilance and strong plosive control. They are a staple in radio stations, home podcast studios and content-creation setups where a professional, “finished” vocal sound is required straight from the microphone.

Hypercardioid

Hypercardioid microphones use a very tight pickup pattern that focuses strongly on sound from the front while rejecting most noise from the sides. Compared to cardioid microphones, they provide greater isolation, making them useful in situations where background noise or nearby sound sources need to be controlled.

Because of their focused sensitivity, hypercardioid mics are often used for live sound, stage vocals, drum miking and dialogue recording. They do have a small pickup area at the rear, so careful positioning is important, but when used correctly they deliver excellent clarity and separation in demanding environments.
