Comments about Audix OM-5 Dynamic Microphone:
I would not hesitate recommending this to anyone looking for a great performing mic. I must admit I was so impressed I went and purchased an OM-7 and absolutely love it too......but its more expensive. I have very limited experience, but what I have tells me the OM-5 is a solid choice for the money.
I am new to amplified performances and asked several sound guys who I knew what I should buy. It was suggested that I look at Audix and that if I had the money start at the OM-5. I did and love the richness of the sound. Not being very knowledgeable so all I can say is that I am very pleased with the results and perform weekly singing a range of styles from Blues to Ballads. Very pleased.
So far I have no complaints. The mic feels substantial without feeling heavy. No problems with feedback at all. Cable snaps in with a good solid feel.
I'm always a bit frugal with my money but took a chance and feel good about the decision.

Throughout my 30+ years singing live music, I have used many brands of microphones: Shure SM58 & SM58 Beta, Beyerdynamic TGX58, Sennheisers, and many other brands like Nady, Peavey, and AKG. But, my favorite mic is the Audix OM5 mic. When I asked the guy at my local music store what was the best vocal mic for live music, he said the Audix OM5 which surprised me. I purchased the mic and have loved it ever since. It seems to have a beefier sound for my voice. This mic costs a little more than I wanted to pay, but it is worth it.
Comments about Audix OM-5 Dynamic Microphone:
I've only recently started reviewing my gear...had a few these for quite a while and they truely are great mics. Love the slim design and great range for a vocal mic.
Comments about Audix OM-5 Dynamic Microphone:
I'll keep it short and to the point, this mic is very good at letting you turn up the volume of the mixer and not getting FEEDBACK. I own three of these and I wouldn't trade them for anything.My old vocal mics were akg's very good mics just not as good as these. At practice in my basement we use two of the OM 5 mics and we use two pv115's as monitors thru a behringer ep4000 and not a squeal is heard. Your choise I don't think you will be sorry if you buy these
Comments about Audix OM-5 Dynamic Microphone:
I use one of these for the lead singer and three OM-2's for the back-ups and I couldn't be happier: the OM-5 really cuts through the others and gives a perfect mix every time with minimal Equalizing needed. I prefer the OM-2s to the shure SM-58 and have found them to be most reliable. Buy an Audix and you won't be disappointed!
Comments about Audix OM-5 Dynamic Microphone:
I don't like the way this mic is treble-biased. It makes my deep voice sound to high and doesn't give any fatness or sound color. The lows are virtually non-existant. It sounds too plain for this deeper voiced singer. It would be good for women or a male with a midrange or higher voice.
Comments about Audix OM-5 Dynamic Microphone:
I have aquired many mics over the years, so when I open my mic bag I have everything from sm58, beta58, beyern, vtech, ibanez, samson, akg, but when I get to the studio or a live show, I found the om5 to be the best mic I ever used. Sound is clear and works well with my voice,shure makes my voice tinny and thin and higher pitched then it really is, also, highly resistant to feedback, and I have a very loud voice, cannot distort this thing! Try something other then the basic choices, you will be very happy.
Comments about Audix OM-5 Dynamic Microphone:
For the money, the OM-5 is a very decent microphone. I used to use an SM57 at live acoustic gigs which worked wonders, but when that quit I decided to purchase an OM-5. The OM-5 required a lot more EQ than the SM57 in order to sound great; the SM57 was very flat in comparison, and worked great on my voice. This mic shines in a rock setting; above a wall of distorted guitar and full-force drum; cutting. Powerful.Thankfully, I had the chance to A/B this with an SM58. The SM58 was clearer, especially in the highs, but the Audix OM-5 was richer and more defined throughout the whole spectrum. I also A/B'd them both on my guitar amp (Marshall/Mesa Boogie). The OM-5 once again is richer, more complex, but the SM58 is cleaner and allows the guitar to cut through the mix better.For drums, the OM-5 is less than satisfactory. On the snare, it's almost impossible to get a clean, defined crack. You're left with a muddy, hollow snare sound.Great live vocal mic! Not so hot on instruments.
Comments about Audix OM-5 Dynamic Microphone:
Shure has always been the standard, but if you don't mind stepping outside of the box, you will find that this microphone is superior. We have used the Audix OM-5 for singing as well as overall recording, without issue or compromise. Many people are amazed as well at the mic's ability to resist feedback. Our harmonica player even says it is better than the mic he has been using. This mic has not only become our mic of choice, but it's performace has convinced others to switch over to Audix as well. You won't be sorry...
Comments about Audix OM-5 Dynamic Microphone:
This mic is of very high quality and the sound it produces is evident. Excalent responce and clear as a bell. No distorstion or popping. Very little handling noise if any, (I have heavy hands). Like the om-7 you need to have a good powered mixer or a pre-amp to make this mic "sing"It performs very good on stage and is as tough as they come. I have had it now for more than three years and it has not let me down. I will not sing through anything else.
