Detail 01
Hypercardioid pattern
Tight pickup right in front, so monitors and nearby amps bleed in less than with a wider pattern.

AudixOM2 Microphone
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Hypercardioid dynamic vocal mic under $100, aimed at live singers on loud stages who need feedback rejection more than studio detail.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Lead and backing vocals on a loud stage with monitors up front
- Small venues and rehearsal rooms where bleed is a problem
- A first stage mic for a gigging singer on a budget
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Studio vocal tracking where a condenser captures more detail
- Singers who move off-axis a lot while performing
- Anyone needing extended top end above 16kHz
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
>25dB rejection
Sound arriving off-axis comes in noticeably quieter, which is what buys you gain before feedback.
Detail 03
50Hz–16kHz response
Tailored to the voice. Rolls off below and above that, so it does not pick up as much stage rumble.
Detail 04
140dB max SPL
Will not distort from a loud singer working the mic close or a screamer on top of it.
Detail 05
290 ohm impedance
Standard low-impedance output. Plugs into any mixer or interface XLR input on a normal mic cable.
Detail 06
Dynamic transducer
No phantom power needed, and it takes stage handling and knocks better than a condenser.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No cable, clip, or stand assumed — confirm what ships with it
- 02Hypercardioid means you must sing straight into it to stay loud
- 03Needs a mic preamp with enough gain; dynamics run quieter than condensers
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 microphone and runs off any standard XLR mic input with no power supplied.
02Can I use it for recording?
Yes, though the 50Hz to 16kHz range and dynamic capsule give less detail than a studio condenser.
03Why hypercardioid instead of cardioid?
Tighter pickup means more rejection of monitors and stage noise, so you get more volume before feedback starts.
04Will it work with my interface?
Yes, on any XLR mic input. Dynamics need more gain, so turn the preamp up further than you would for a condenser.
