USER MANUAL OM2 Audix
Designed, assembled and tested by Audix in the USA, the OM2 is a dynamic vocal microphone used for a wide variety of live and studio applications. The OM2 is known for its clear and accurate sound reproduction, resistance to feedback and ability to handle very high sound pressure levels without distortion.
The OM2 is characterized 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 - 16 kHz, the OM2 employs a VLM ^™ (Very Low Mass) diaphragm for natural sound with exceptional transient response.
The OM2 is designed with slight bass proximity and a tailored mid-range, giving it a full bodied sound on small to mid-size PA systems. The OM2 is well balanced, comfortable to hold, durable and manufactured with high standards and tight tolerances.
Roadworthy construction includes a precision die cast zinc alloy body, black e-coat finish, laser etched model and serial number, steel mesh grill, Switchcraft® XLR connector and heavy duty nylon clip.

ARCHITECTS AND ENGINEERS SPECIFICATIONS:
The microphone shall be of the dynamic type and the polar pattern of the microphone shall be hypercardioid. The nominal output impedance shall be equal to 250 ohms at 1 kHz. The microphone shall have a sensitivity of 1.7 mV / Pa at 1 kHz and a sound pressure level ≥140 dB. The microphone body shall be of zinc alloy and the grill cap shall be steel wire mesh. The overall dimensions shall be 23 mm in diameter at the base, 53 mm in diameter at the widest point on the grill and 176 mm in length. The microphone shall be the Audix OM2.
OPERATION:
The OM2 is a low impedance microphone and should be plugged into the "mic level" input of your console, mixer, or recording device. Please note that your microphone does not require phantom power and will not be effected in any way by phantom power should it be running simultaneously while the microphone is in operation. Avoid plugging or unplugging the microphone from the PA system unless the channel is muted or the volume of the system turned down. Failure to do so may result in a loud "popping" noise which could seriously damage the speakers in the PA system.
USER TIPS:
The OM2 has a very tight pick-up pattern in order to help eliminate sound from other instruments on stage from "bleeding" into the microphone. For best results, it is important to sing directly into the mic at close proximity (within 2 inches). When using floor monitors, position the microphone so that it is parallel to the floor. When using multiple microphones on a live performance stage, allow a distance of 2-3 feet between mics to avoid phase issues.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
The OM2 is manufactured to exacting specs with roadworthy construction. However, the capsule is highly sensitive and should be handled with care. Avoid extreme temperatures and be sure to store your microphone in the pouch provided when not in use. Moisture of any kind can adversely affect the sound and performance of your microphone.
