Reviews of Audix OM5 Dynamic Hypercardioid Microphone
Feature: It plugs in, sounds great, and has low feedback response. What else are you expecting to find in a microphone?
Quality: Mines been pretty beat up over the last few years. Hasn't affected the performance at all.
Value: More expensive than my Shure sm58 but it was worth every penny. An extra fifty bucks isn't much for some you will still be using years down the road.
Desirability: Looks good. Rugged black steel construction.
Sound: I haven't used a lot of different microphones. Just an Audix OM-5 and a Shure sm58. The sm58 is very popular and considered the industry standard for live microphones but every time I've compared them in a live setting the Audix OM-5 produces a noticable better vocal sound. The sm58 was demoted to miking the guitar amplifier a long time ago.
Support: Don't really know because I've never needed support from the company. That rates a 10 in my book.
Overall: No need to plan on replacing this item because I would just buy another one (maybe I'd consider the OM-6 or OM-7). This microphone has been a trusty companion. I've never regretted buying it and never considered replacing it. There aren't too many pieces of equipment I can say that about.
