All user reviews of 4/5 for the Audix OM6

The Audix OM6 was one of the first mics that I have ever used, I think I got it a radio shack. That is crazy that a mic this good was sold at radio shack a long time ago.
Sonically the response has a nice presence peak in the upper mid range, but the top end rolls off quickly after that. Opinion is split about whether that is a good or a bad thing – it helps keep a lid on feedback, but it doesnt sound as hi-fi as some other mics. I have had some singers complain that their vocal top end is not quite right - sometimes asking for more top end. I guess they are used to the sound of expensive condenser mics on their recordings. My solution is normally to give them another mic, like a Beta 58, or Beta 87a maybe, rather than use EQ. If you A/B test an OM6verses these mics it will always lose. But it can still be a better mic in some cases, such as when you are looking for a cardioid rather than hyper-cardioid response (the SM58 has a cardioid response, which means it has a wider pickup pattern at the front). But most vocalists will be more than happy with the sound the OM6 gives.


OVERALL OPINION

The OM6 also does a pretty good job on drums (not really bass drum), and other loud things like guitar cabs. It uses the same capsule as the SM57, one of the best mics for guitar cabs.

I've given other microphones in the same price range, (and even some that are pricier) an honest test drive, but I just keep coming back to my OM6. Some of the competitors have a lot more definition and are more sensitive, etc. - but to a fault. I can get right up on this mic and sing as loud as I can and it doesn't get harsh like my other mics do. So, until I find something I like better (and I doubt I will), I will keep on using my OM6.

What kind of microphone? (Song, sound, mixed ..)
I use it mostly for voice (singing or talking), taken from Hi-Hats, bass drum (for teeth, coupled with a standard kick drum microphone), amplifier back to live .. ..

What technology? (Electret, condenser ...)
dynamic hypercardio,

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?
One year

What is the particular feature you like best and least?
I like the precision, its objectification. Attention to live in small rooms, he moved quickly feedback! But is it evidence of good sensitivity and precision?! I think that yes! And a lil quick EQ and you win .....

Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
Having long used the sm58, I can tell you that it is the almond audix the trsrput SHURE, Sennheiser and others. I would compare it more Beyerdynamic MT 88. So good, you'll understand there is more on the same CRITERIA.

How do you report qualitprix?
A bit like all CHRE audix I got. But hey, even when prices relatively well justified. Buy!

Exprience with, you will do again this choice? ...
I want my nephew!
