High-end Vocal Mic Gives You A Full Rich Sound!

You want your vocals to sound their best? Check out the Audix OM6, a broad hypercardioid dynamic mic that delivers a full-bodied, rich vocal sound! You also get extended low end response - without boominess - and high SPL levels without distortion; low handling noise, superior off axis rejection.

Audix OM6 Microphone at a Glance:
  • Dynamic mic with vocal-friendly presence peak
  • A real "singer's microphone"

Dynamic mic with vocal-friendly presence peak
The Audix OM6 is a dynamic, hypercardioid, hand-held vocal mike. The OM6 uses Audix's special VLM (very low mass) technology and employs a gently rising frequency response from 2-10kHz. The microphone has a response very much like a condenser and is very responsive to transients and harmonics.

A real "singer's microphone"
The OM6 is a singer's microphone. If you need a microphone with a midrange boost this is not going to help you. If you're not looking for coloration but would appreciate a tight pickup pattern the OM6 is for you. Crosby,Stills, and Nash used the OM6 to deliver their trademark vocal sound. If you want to get the ultimate vocal blend on stage, you can't beat the OM6.

Audix OM6 Microphone Features:
  • Hand-held dynamic mic
  • Hypercardioid pattern
  • 144dB SPL
  • Proprietary anti-feedback design
  • Durable scratch resistant spring steel grille
  • Black E-coat finish
  • Less strain to be heard above the band
  • Gold-plated contacts
  • VLM very low mass diaphragm
  • Reduced phase shift
  • Superior transient response
  • Pouch and clip included
  • Application specific vocal microphone
  • Individually tested and hand assembled
  • Highest levels of gain before feedback
  • Exceptional off-axis rejection
  • Built to last a lifetime
  • Made with pride in the U.S.A.
Your voice will punch through the mix with an Audix OM6!

Rated 5/5

As good as M88 but a much better value

This mic was my first real intro to the Audix line. If you're used to 58s, you'll do well with the OM6 because it has a wider pickup pattern than the other OM mics. The response is really smooth and there's enough low end (without mud) to mic things like guitar/bass cabs and even kick drums and get reasonable results. As good as a Beyer M88 but a much better value.

Just remember to set your EQs flat and crank it!
Music background: Semi-pro going on 30 years, bass and vocals.

Great Live Mic

I like many others was a Shure fanboy for the longest time, but since buying this my 58 hasn't been taken out of its case. Excellent feedback response and crystal clear vocals that cut through the mix to make your techs job much easier. I'm in a rock cover band and it sounds just as good with ballads as it does harder rock with screaming. Seriously, the best sounding live mic I've ever used you will not be disappointed, well worth the price point especially if you play out a lot.

Natural Vocals

This mic sounds better on a wider range of singers in my experience than anything other than an SM58, but is more natural than a 58 and of course the feedback rejection is superior.

Love it

The most clear and transparent dynamic mic I've tried (among this, OM2, OM3, SM48/58, e935, Beyerdynamic TGV50d, Heil PR20, Lewitt 250 & 550).

Getting the most for the money isn't just a big deal for our customers, it's also what the artists and engineers at Sweetwater look for when we're shopping for our own gear. That's why we're such fans of Audix microphones. Early on, we discovered must-have Audix mics such as the handheld OM2, the tight and punchy D6 kick mic, and the super-versatile i5. You'll also find Audix specialty hardware like CabGrabbers and D-Vice mic holders in our studios and live rigs. Their drum mic bundles offer amazing value, while our house of worship customers love their MicroBoom line for miking choirs. No matter the application, Sweetwater is happy to recommend the right Audix gear for your needs.
