Audix OM5 Dynamic Hypercardioid Microphone

Feature:
I think the way the OM-5 minimizes feedback is the best feature of all.

Quality:
Seems to be built well. I take care of my stuff and have never had any mic fail me.

Value:
Even though the OM-5's are a little more money than some of the competitor's products, they are well worth it.

Desirability:
I bought the OM-5's and was so pleased I bought Audix drum mics too. If I had it to do over again, I'd buy the same mics.

Sound:
I bought a handful of Shure 58's at the salesman's recommendation and then began reading about the Audix line of mics. For live performances at high volume with floor wedges, the OM5 was suggested as a better choice than the OM6. The 7 series was not out at the time. I gambled and bought 3 of the OM-5's and have never pulled the 58's out of the case since. The OM-5's blow the 58's away. The mid range and presence is much more articulate, yet the low end sounds ballsy and full. But the best thing about these mics is how well they reduce feedback. You can enjoy much higher monitor volumes than with other mics.

Support:
I haven't had a need to call but the web site and the printed documentation is more helpful than many other mic manufacturers.

Overall:
They work!
