BUILT WITH YOU IN MIND: The OM5 is characterized by an extremely tight and uniformly controlled hyper-cardioid polar pattern which helps to isolate the vocals from the rest of the instruments on stage. With a wide frequency range of 48 Hz - 19 kHz, the OM5 employs a VLM (Very Low Mass) diaphragm for natural response, accurate sound reproduction and exceptional transient response.

GO WIRELESS: The OM5 is a dynamic vocal microphone used for live performances, studio, and broadcast applications. The OM5 touts a broad frequency response, full-bodied and articulate sound reproduction, resistance to feedback, and ability to handle high SPLs in excess of 144 dB without distortion. The OM5 is known for its clarity, resistance to feedback, and ability to handle sound pressure levels in excess of 144 dB without distortion.

IDEAL FOR VOCALS, SPEECH, HORNS, GUITARS, FLUTE, PERCUSSION & DRUMS: The hyper-cardioid polar pattern provides off-axis rejection of over 25dB and extremely high gain before feedback and features 40 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. Unconventionally low output level (8 to 10 dB lower than typical dynamic microphones) serves as a natural pad at the capsule to maintain high fidelity at the source.

BUILT WITH YOU IN MIND: The OM2 is characterized by an extremely tight and uniformly controlled hyper-cardioid 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 OM3 employs a VLM (Very Low Mass) diaphragm for natural response, accurate sound reproduction and exceptional transient response.

GO WIRELESS: The OM2 is a dynamic vocal microphone used for live performances, studio, and broadcast applications. The OM2 touts a broad frequency response, full-bodied and articulate sound reproduction, resistance to feedback, and ability to handle high SPLs in excess of 140 dB without distortion. The OM2 is known for its clarity, resistance to feedback, and ability to handle sound pressure levels in excess of 140 dB without distortion.

IDEAL FOR VOCALS, SPEECH, HORNS, GUITARS, FLUTE, PERCUSSION & DRUMS: The hyper-cardioid polar pattern provides off-axis rejection of over 25dB and extremely high gain before feedback and features 50 Hz to 16 kHz frequency response with a mild rise in the low-mid frequencies for added body, and a presence boost for high-end clarity.

COMPACT YET POWERFUL: Audix M1255B condenser microphone features a built-in preamp and detachable cable, making it versatile for various applications.

REMARKABLE VERSATILITY: Mountable on ceilings or tables, hanging for choirs, or capturing room ambience, suitable for stage performances, studio recordings, and broadcasting.

IMMUNE TO RF INTERFERENCE: Designed to reject interference from cell phones and GSM devices, ensuring a clean and reliable audio signal.

D6 FOR KICK DRUM: The D6 has a frequency response of 30Hz-15kHz and is characterized with a cardioid pick-up pattern. The D6 is designed to sound good in any position and it is not dependent on finding the "sweet spot" of the drum. The D6 capsule features the same legendary VLM technology that has made the D series percussion and instrument microphones very popular for today's live stages and recording studios.

I5 FOR SNARE: The i5's cardioid polar pattern allows it to focus on the specific instrument that is being miked while rejecting other instruments or ambient noise on stage. With a smooth and uniform frequency response of 50Hz-16kHz and an ability to handle sound pressure levels in excess of 140dB, the i5 can be used for a wide variety of applications and for all genres of music.

TWO D2S FOR TOMS: For bringing out the real, dynamic sound of your drum toms and congas, nothing beats (pun intended) the D2! The D2 accurately reproduces the warmth and punch you listen for from percussion, leaving out the muddy, indistinct "boom" that can mar recording. The D2's natural warmth also makes it a great mic for saxophones and other woodwinds requiring a true, sensitive, yet big, reproduction.
