Ohma World Ohmie Dual Voltage Condenser Microphone - Black

Capture the character of a performance before it ever reaches the mixing console. The Ohma World Ohmie dual voltage condenser microphone gives engineers and creators two distinct sonic responses from a single microphone, combining a fixed-cardioid, edge-terminated capsule with low-noise transformerless electronics and a switchable polarization system. Choose between 48V operation for a natural, balanced sound with smooth highs and greater headroom, or switch to 80V for increased sensitivity, punch and definition without changing microphone placement or the signal chain. With a 20Hz–20kHz frequency response, just 8dB-A equivalent self-noise and up to 138dB maximum SPL, the Ohmie is designed to capture everything from intimate vocals and acoustic instruments to drums, amplifiers and room ambience. Built-in capsule isolation and an included Shock Clip provide additional vibration control, while standard 48V phantom power supports integration into studio and portable recording setups.

Dual Voltage Technology Delivers Two Distinct Sonic Characters

The Ohmie's Dual Voltage system changes the capsule's polarization between 48V and 80V, giving engineers two ways to shape a recording directly at the source. In 48V mode, the microphone delivers a relaxed, open response with natural dynamics, full low frequencies and a smooth, detailed top end. This setting also provides up to 138dB maximum SPL, offering additional headroom for loud instruments and sharp transients. Switching to 80V increases sensitivity by approximately 5dB, from 32 mV/Pa to 57 mV/Pa, creating a more immediate, focused character with enhanced punch and subtle low- and high-frequency emphasis. The higher sensitivity provides more output before the preamp without increasing self-noise, making it particularly useful for quieter or more distant sources. Both modes operate from standard 48V phantom power, with the higher capsule voltage generated internally.

Low-Noise Electronics and Dual Isolation Support Versatile Recording

A low-noise transformerless circuit and edge-terminated cardioid capsule provide clear, detailed reproduction, making the Ohmie suitable for a wide range of recording environments. Its 86dB A-weighted signal-to-noise ratio and 8dB-A equivalent noise level support detailed capture of quieter sources, while the microphone's high SPL handling accommodates drums, guitar cabinets and other powerful instruments. An internal capsule isolation system helps reduce unwanted mechanical vibration before it reaches the transducer, while the included rubber Shock Clip adds another layer of isolation from vibrations traveling through the microphone stand. Together, these features make the Ohmie practical for studio vocals, acoustic instruments, piano, percussion, spoken-word recording, Foley, field recording and other applications where clean, consistent capture is essential.

Thoughtful Accessories and Craftsmanship Complete the Design

Designed for flexible studio and location workflows, the Ohmie combines its compact mounting system with standard 48V phantom-power compatibility for use with microphone preamps, audio interfaces, mixers and compatible portable recorders. The included Shock Clip provides convenient mounting and vibration isolation without requiring a traditional external shock mount. For vocal recording, an optional magnetic pop filter attaches directly to a concealed magnet behind the microphone's logo, maintaining alignment as the microphone is repositioned while helping control plosives, wind noise and moisture. Designed, assembled and tested in East Los Angeles, the Ohmie reflects Ohma World's approach to microphone engineering and in-house production. From intimate vocal sessions to demanding instrument recordings, the Ohma World Ohmie dual voltage condenser microphone gives engineers greater control over the sound captured at the source.
