Audix OM2 AUDIX OM2 Leaflet

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. 

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.

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.
