It is a hypercardioid dynamic microphone singing. Like all microphones Audix OM SERIES of the OM7 benefitted with a capacity of Resistors in feedback that is unusual. These microphones pick actually extremely low noise. The distance of singing is lgrement Reduces and closer to the grid. Sing more prs did not pos problem of individuals as these microphones provide a proximity effect that is much more comfortable than any I could try. The OM7 is excellently well equilibrated in the reproduction of frequencies and provides improved quality of rponse in the treble. This micro rsiste particulirement well to perform under pressure: it is impossible to do saturate while the sound reproduced fully respects the dynamics of the song. In the doc of Audix APRS is a system that internal attnuation output that allows to observe the dynamics of the sound source. I found that micro effectivment is more expensive 10dB prampli on the mixer for volume OM6 the itch (which is the micro range just below).
So it's a microphone scne trs high-end (about 350) which is strangely little known in Europe as it is commonly used in the United States.

OVERALL OPINION

We had a serious problem of feedback in our studio because of rptition lead vocal microphone (Shure eta58 a) that hung all over the place. A fairly drastic attnuation the mixing desk (Soundcraft 200B Series) combines the use of an EQ band delays the phnomne but at the cost of a standard of dgradation quality sound.
APRs have considered several solutions (including the purchase of a feedback-killer), I finally had the chance to try Audix I was reading the benefit Forums amricains.
What a slap!
To hang the OM7 had to change the calibration pramp / attnuateurs / amp because of the Soundcraft pramp have saturated before the arrival of feedback (those who know the power of pr the 200B amp should sries apprcier !!!). It was able to get the power amp to + 6 dB. So I n'exagre really not saying we won at least 50% of volume in any further attachment beginners. And again, the Audix Ragit trs diffrent: instead of leaving immediately dvastatrice in a loop, then hook the OM7 "relche" loop almost aussitt! It is thundering: believing that there's an indoor device that attnue - APRS blow - the frquence who wanted to go live! It is really prvenu before this can screw up too dgnrer and finally the ears of all the musicians for the rest of the rptition.
So there is no picture: the Difference of sensitivity to feedback is objectively standard! The OM7 REALLY can reach noise levels that are not even conceivable with the Shure.

The OM7 also has the capacity to return any outstanding fact: the effect of proximity is flexible and trs trs musical attacks do not explode, the dynamic is perfect (it seems that almost If there is a compressor Intgr!) and treble are both sweet trspres and trs.
On my voice, a correction trslgre enough to get an equilibrated in all its frquences: trs can effectively shape the texture of the voice by working mediums. The high frquences do not need to be micro managed this as attnues reproduced without agressivit. Ditto for the severe, and can benefit low without fear explode or "butcher" the sound. The thing that m'pate is that it keeps a superb quality of bass and treble even when his mouth is stuck in the grid. Parts of songs that are softer, more learned, are extremely well reproduced: Dfine it is musical, it's hot, it's clear ... a rgal! In short, there are times I almost o the feeling of singing in a good studio electret.

Objectively, I do not see what I could repprocher the microphone. With OM7 I even relearned sing in a sound system and I couraging I had a lot more potential than voice made me and the Shure Senheizer that I know. Obviously, this does not mean that others are bad microphone away from l. But the OM7 Discoveries made me realize that a microphone is a musical instrument Entire hand: you really find the one best suited to CHARACTERISTICS of his voice and take account other paramtres sound.

I do not regret having blown my budget "micro chant". It is even one of the best musical investment I made hardware: any other acquisition of instrument as I made progress and above all ... to find fun.
