AudixOM-5 Dynamic Microphone
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Audix's dynamic handheld vocal mic for stage use. For singers who want a rugged, feedback-resistant mic and already have a working PA.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Lead and backing vocals on loud stages
- Gigging singers who need a mic that survives being dropped
- Rehearsal rooms and rented PA setups with no phantom power
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Studio vocal tracking where a condenser captures more detail
- Podcast or voiceover work needing a broadcast-style tone
- Anyone needing a USB mic that plugs straight into a computer
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Handheld body
Built to be gripped and moved; handling noise is far lower than a mic on a stand.
Detail 03
Vocal-focused design
Tuned to sit a voice above a band mix rather than capture the whole room.
Detail 04
Black finish
Non-reflective under stage lighting, and scuffs show less over years of gigs.
Detail 05
Audix OM series
Part of Audix's stage vocal line, so it shares clips and threading with common stand hardware.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No XLR cable, mic clip or stand is guaranteed in the box — confirm before you leave
- 02Requires a mixer or interface with an XLR mic preamp
- 03Dynamics need more preamp gain than condensers; cheap preamps may sound thin
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does the OM-5 need phantom power?
No. It's a dynamic mic and works on any standard XLR mic input. Leaving phantom on won't harm it, but it isn't required.
02Can I plug this into my computer?
Not directly. You need an audio interface or mixer with an XLR input and a mic preamp. There's no USB connection.
03Is it good for recording vocals at home?
It works, and it's forgiving in untreated rooms because it rejects more of the space. A condenser will give you more detail if your room is treated.
04Will it feed back on a loud stage?
Dynamic handhelds like this are chosen specifically for high-volume stages. Placement relative to your wedges still matters more than the mic itself.
