Know before you buy
No, the OMX-E is a dynamic microphone and does not require phantom power. You can plug it directly into any standard XLR input on your mixer or interface.
The cardioid pattern is designed to pick up sound primarily from the front while rejecting noise from the sides and rear. This makes it an excellent choice for live stages or untreated rooms where you want to isolate the vocal and minimize background bleed.
Yes, the OMX-E handles high sound pressure levels up to 144 dB. This allows it to capture powerful, loud vocals without distortion or clipping.
Audix’s VLM (Very Low Mass) capsule technology allows the diaphragm to respond more quickly to sound waves. This results in a clearer, more natural sound reproduction that captures vocal nuances more accurately than standard dynamic capsules.
Yes, the OMX-E is specifically engineered to maintain clear, dynamic pick-up even at greater speaking distances. It is a great option if you prefer a bit more room to move while performing or speaking.
