AUDIX OM5
July 2005—Now in its 10th year of production, the Audix OM5 ($265) dynamic employs the company’s VLM (Very Low-Mass) technology for quick transient response and reduced distortion, even at high SPLs. Frequency response is naturally attenuated at 120 Hz to reduce boom and handling noise, while midrange is tailored for clarity and presence. An extremely tight hypercardioid pattern helps isolate vocals from noise onstage. The OM-5’s dent-resistant, spring steel grille protects the capsule from damage due to rough handling. Frequency response is 40 to 19k Hz with a max. SPL of 144 dB; output impedance is 200 ohms.

The VX-10-Lo is a specially designed model with a lower output level to compensate for high-SPL sources. Frequency response is 40 to 20k Hz with a max. SPL of 138 dB; impedance is 250 ohms.

AUDIX SCX-25 CONDENSER
