Detail 01
Hypercardioid pattern
Tighter than cardioid, so more gain before feedback and less bleed. Level drops fast if you move off axis.

AudixOM11 Premium Dynamic Vocal Microphone
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A hypercardioid dynamic vocal mic for live singing. For players who need feedback rejection on a loud stage and consistent mic technique.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Lead vocals on loud stages with wedge monitors
- Singers who work the mic close and steady
- Rehearsal rooms where bleed from the kit is a problem
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Plugging straight into a computer without an interface
- Singers who drift off the mic while performing
- Anyone wanting a mic that also does USB recording
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
Rear pickup lobe
Hypercardioid mics hear from directly behind. Place wedge monitors to the sides, not straight back.
Detail 03
Dynamic element
No phantom power needed, and it shrugs off handling, humidity and stage abuse better than a condenser.
Detail 04
2.3 mV/Pa sensitivity
Hot for a dynamic. You will run less preamp gain than usual, which keeps the channel quieter.
Detail 05
50Hz–18kHz response
Extends higher than most stage dynamics, so consonants and detail come through rather than sounding rolled off.
Detail 06
200 ohm impedance
Standard low impedance. Works with any XLR mic input and tolerates long cable runs without losing top end.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01You need an XLR cable and a mixer, preamp or interface
- 02Position monitors off to the sides to avoid the rear lobe
- 03Confirm you have a stand and a clip that fits the body
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does it need phantom power?
No. It is a dynamic mic and runs off the preamp alone. Leaving phantom on will not harm it.
02Can I plug it into my computer?
Not directly. The output is XLR, so you need an interface or mixer with a mic preamp.
03How is hypercardioid different from a cardioid vocal mic?
It rejects more from the sides and gives more gain before feedback, but it picks up from directly behind and punishes sloppy mic technique.
04Will it work for recording, not just live?
Yes. It is a 200 ohm XLR dynamic, so any interface preamp will run it. The tight pattern helps in untreated rooms.
