SPECIFICATIONS:
ARCHITECTS AND ENGINEERS 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 250 ohms at 
1 kHz. The microphone shall have a sensitivity of 1.7 mV / Pa at 1 kHz and a sound 
pressure level ≥140 dB. The microphone body shall be of zinc alloy and the grill cap 
shall be 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. The 
microphone shall be the Audix OM2. 
OPERATION:
 
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 effected 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.
USER TIPS: 
The OM2 has a very tight pick-up pattern in order to help eliminate sound 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.

SERVICE AND WARRANTY:
This microphone is under warranty for a period of 5 years from 
any and all manufacturing defects. Should your microphone 
fail in any way, please contact the Audix Service department 
at 503-682-6933. A Return Authorization number is required 
before returning any products.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
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 affect 
the sound and performance of your microphone.
