Detail 01
-9 mV output sensitivity
Very low. You'll run the preamp far hotter than with a typical dynamic, so clean gain matters.

AudixOM7 Microphone
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A dynamic stage mic with 144 dB SPL handling, heavy off-axis rejection, and unusually low output. For loud stages where feedback and bleed are the problem.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Loud stages with monitors up and feedback margin tight
- High-output singers who push other mics into distortion
- Miking one loud source surrounded by other loud sources
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Preamps short on clean gain — output is very low
- Quiet or distant sources, and room miking
- Home setups running an entry-level USB interface
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
>30 dB off-axis rejection
Sound from the sides and rear drops sharply, which is what buys you gain before feedback.
Detail 03
144 dB max SPL
Won't break up on a screamed vocal at an inch, or in front of a snare.
Detail 04
Dynamic element
No phantom power needed, and the moving-coil design tolerates heat, humidity, and rough handling on the road.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Needs a preamp with plenty of clean headroom; budget mixers may run out.
- 02Set gain at soundcheck — the low output catches engineers off guard.
- 03Plan on your own XLR cable and stand mount.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Why is the OM7 so quiet compared to other mics?
The low sensitivity is deliberate. Paired with over 30 dB of off-axis rejection, it keeps monitors and stage wash out of the channel. You trade output for feedback resistance.
02Does the OM7 need phantom power?
No. It's a dynamic mic, so it works into any standard mic input without phantom power.
03Will it work with my audio interface?
Only if the preamp has a lot of clean gain. With -9 mV output you'll be near the top of the gain range, and a noisy preamp will show it.
04Can it handle screaming vocals up close?
Yes. 144 dB max SPL is well past what a singer can produce at an inch from the grille.
