What people are saying about the Audix OM5

"With 3 stages running simultaneously 7 nights a week, it's common for us to have 15 or more separate acts in a single night. When the smoke clears, it's the OM-5 you see on the mic stands. The OM-5's indestructible casing is essential, given the unending wear and tear we put our gear through, and the wide dynamic range is perfect for the variety of vocalists we hand it to."

Bruce Duff, Production Manager, Knitting Factory Hollywood

"We were in rehearsals for the start of Bonnie's tour when the OM-5 was first introduced. We tried it and haven't looked back since. The mic is a lot likeBonnie - classy, consistent, and rock solid every time."

Paul Middleton, Front of House, Bonnie Raitt

"From side rejection to gain before feed back to overall transparency, the OM-5 is consistently a winner. If I mix the show, it's my first choice. If I'm the system engineer, it's my first recommendation."

George Rondinelli, Rondinelli Audio - Dubuque, IA

"The OM-5 is the only mic that you can roll the High Pass to 120, turn it on and let it rip. Rock solid and built like a hammer. Keep them coming!"

Eugene 'Gino' Mulcahy, Lead Audio Engineer, Mohegan Sun Casino

"I have carried OM-5's with me since 1995 as a great 'get out of jail free' card for almost any vocal application. They're handier than a Leatherman® and, oh yeah, they get LOUD!"

Adrian Cunningham, Front of House, Altan

"The warm low end, crisp highs, and clarity of the OM-5 complements any vocal blend. I'm pleased to see that they're showing up on lots of spec riders."

Rance Caldwell, Monitor Engineer, Crosby, Stills, and Nash

"I was able to simply unplug the front line of vocal mics and replace them with OM-5's to get a smoother, warmer sound at a higher gain with no feedback."

Mark Frink, Live Sound Editor, Mix Magazine

"Alanis really helped pave the way for a new generation of female vocalists, and her OM-5 has been there right from the beginning. If you love good sound, you'll love Audix mics."

Scott Welch, Manager, Alanis Morissette

"Audix mics are simply the best whether you're on a small stage or concert venue. I know that when I use my OM-5, the mix is going to sound perfect."

Jay Forrest, lead vocals, Hopesfall

"Even with BOC's thick instrumentation, OM-5's help keep the vocals in front of the mix. They're reliable, consistent and smoooooooth regardless ofwhat PA system we're using."

Steve "Woody" La Cerra, Front of House, Blue Öyster Cult

"In addition to being a terrific sounding vocal mic, the OM-5 has been my magic bullet when gain-before-feedback is an issue. It gives me a usable signal when other mics are unusable."

Dan Mortensen, Dansound, Seattle,WA

"I have been using the OM-5 for about 10 years and continue to receive lots of compliments on my vocal sound. They give me a true, uncolored sound to workwith as opposed to other mics that have a built in sound that sometimes works, but most of the time doesn't."

Paul Hager ,Front of House, American Hi-Fi

"Our club has low ceilings and a loud band is even louder on our stage. The tight pick-up pattern of the OM-5 allows me to put the vocals out front in the mix without drawing in searing guitars and cymbal wash."

John P. Overstreet, Head Sound Engineer, Middle East Nightclub, Boston, MA

"OM5's are the main vocal mics of choice for us and we've used them for years with no problems!"

Bad Assets, Jacksonville, FL
