Audix OM 6

OM6

Professional dynamic vocal microphone

The OM6 is a dynamic vocal microphone used for live performances, studio, and broadcast applications. The OM6 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 OM6 vocal microphone has a tight and uniformly controlled hypercardioid polar pattern which helps isolate vocals. Designed with condenser-like qualities, the OM6 has a smooth, rising response between 2 kHz -10 kHz along with a flat, fully extended bass response from 60 Hz – 1 kHz. This, in conjunction with an extremely tailored mid-range, makes the OM6 hypercardioid dynamic vocal microphone an excellent choice for broadcast and live recording.

Designed, assembled, and tested by Audix in the USA.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

• WS357 - Optional high quality external foam windscreen for reducing wind, sibilance, and pop noise.
• CBL20 - 20’ premium XLR-XLR balanced mic cable. Quad conductor, twisted pair with braided shield for maximum conductivity. 6mm PVC jacketed.
• CBLDR25 - 25’ premium right angle XLR-XLR balanced mic cable. Quad conductor, twisted pair with braided shield for maximum conductivity. 6mm PVC jacketed.
• T50K - Professional impedance matching transformer that allows a low impedance mic to be connected to a high impedance input.
• TRIPOD - Metal tripod desktop stand for use with any 5/8” threaded mic clip.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

The OM6 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 affected 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 OM6 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 effect the sound and performance of your microphone.

USER TIPS

The OM6 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.
