The Audix OM1, a hand-made microphone
first introduced in 1985, quickly established itself with live sound engineers
as one of the best mics for rock and roll. It was discontinued, unfortunately,
because of the prohibitive costs associated with producing it. Now, 16 years later,
Audix is proud to re-issue it as the OM11 with the original cutting edge sound
and stylish two-stage, machined brass body. With an updated composite capsule
housing and mounting system, the OM11 has very high output with extremely low
handling noise. The Audix OM11 is characterized with an elevated mid range for
sharp, crisp vocals along with a slight bass proximity to enrich the over-all
sound. The mic also handles very high SPL levels without distortion, has superior
off-axis rejection and supplies maximum gain before feedback. A spring steel grill
and all brass construction provide rock solid durability. The new OM11 successfully
maintains the integrity of the original capsule, while taking advantage of some
of the advancements of today's materials and automated production processes. Balanced,
low impedance output allow for interference-free performance even with long cable
runs.
