Dynamic Vocal
OM2
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 the 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 without compromising
performance on larger 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, durable black
E-coat finish, dent resistant steel mesh grill and gold plated XLR connector.

ARCHITECT AND ENGINEER SPECIFICATIONS
The microphone shall be of the dynamic type and the polar pattern of the
microphone shall be hypercardioid. The nominal output impedance shall be
equal to 290 ohms at 1 kHz. The microphone shall have a sensitivity of 1.6 mV /
Pa at 1 kHz and a sound pressure level ≥140 dB. The microphone shall be of zinc
alloy and the grill cap of steel wire mesh. The overall dimensions shall be 23 mm
in diameter at the base, 53 mm in diameter at the widest point on the grill and
176 mm in length.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
The OM2 is a low impedance microphone and should be plugged into the
“mic level” input of your console, mixer or recording device. Please note that
your microphone does not require phantom power and will not be affected
in any way by phantom power should it be running simultaneously while the
microphone is in operation. Avoid plugging or unplugging the microphone
from the PA system unless the channel is muted or the volume of the system
turned down. Failure to do so may result in a loud “popping” noise which could
seriously damage the speakers in the PA system.
The OM2 is manufactured to exacting specs with roadworthy construction.
However, the capsule is highly sensitive and should be handled with care. Avoid
extreme temperatures and be sure to store your microphone in the pouch
provided when not in use. Moisture of any kind can adversely effect the sound
and performance of your microphone.

USER TIPS
The OM2 has a very tight pick-up pattern in order to help eliminate sound
FREQUENCY RESPONSE
from other instruments on stage from “bleeding” into the microphone. For best
results, it is important to sing directly into the mic at close proximity (within 2
inches). When using floor monitors, position the microphone so that it is parallel
to the floor. When using multiple microphones on a live performance stage,
allow a distance of 2-3 feet between mics to avoid phase issues.
