Audix OM3 Manual

OM3
Dynamic Vocal Microphone
OVERVIEW
Designed, assembled and tested by Audix in the USA, the OM3 is a dynamic vocal
microphone used for a wide variety of live, studio, and broadcast applications. The
OM3 provides clear and accurate sound reproduction, resistance to feedback and the
ability to handle very high SPL (Sound Pressure Levels) without distortion.
The OM3 is designed with a tight and uniformly controlled hypercardioid polar
pattern which helps to isolate the vocals from the rest of the instruments on stage.
With a wide frequency range of 50 Hz - 18 kHz, the OM3 employs a VLM™(Very Low
Mass) diaphragm for natural sound with exceptional transient response.
The OM3 is naturally attenuated in the lower mid-bass frequencies in order to reduce
boominess and handling noise. This, in conjuction with an extremely articulate mid-
range, makes the OM3 an excellent choice for PA systems of all sizes. The OM3 is well
balanced, comfortable to hold, durable, and designed with high standards and tight
tolerances.
The OM3 is manufactured with a precision die cast zinc alloy body, durable black
E-coat finish, dent resistant steel mesh grill and gold plated XLR connector.
