My favorite

Ive been wanting to get this mic for a while now and Its better than expected. In the past I have used 50s style Shure mics because I liked the vibe, but those mics like to feedback if not placed exactly in a sweet spot which can be hard to find on a small stage or rehearsal room. I Play guitar and sing and I tend to get right on the mic, so the tight pattern this mic has works great for me. Also you don't have to be right on the mic, you just need to be in front of the the proper spot and then you can back off a bit , just don't drift right/ left or up/down.
There's no need for an on/off switch because this mic just doesn't feed back, even when I walk away for beak and have the PA still blasting music.
Of course if you point it at a speaker or something it might feed back, just don't be an idiot and you're good to go.

Yes, it does everything that the reviews claim..........

Read the reviews, watched the videos and ordered an Audix OM7. Upon arrival I tested the mike alongside my old SM58 and a new Beta 58A for comparison. To my surprise, all of the claims in the reviews are correct. My testing was under horrible conditions (literally on top of a pair of Headrush FRFR-108s), it was difficult to get the Audix to a feedback state compared to the 58s (thus feedback = OM7 SM58). The off-axis rejection from the Audix was striking compared to both the 58s. Output of the Audix OM7 will require more gain at the mixer.
Mikes tend to be a personal choice for each singer. For myself, the natural tone of the Audix OM7 is perfect, this mike will require some discipline with respect to positioning (move slightly to the side and you will rapidly fade out !) but given the tone and feedback rejection it will be my mike of choice. Probably not as robust as the 58s so take a little extra care. Sorry Beta 58A you are now the back-up mike.............

The BEST Mic for Vocals... PERIOD.

I've had this mic for 2 years. I've played an honest 150 gigs with it. This mic is the cleanest, most feedback resistant mic that I have ever used!
I play through an L1, so it's set up right behind me... ZERO feedback EVER.
This has seen war playing at beach bars, weddings, and outdoor dining... sometimes in the same day. I have dropped it, stuffed it into my gig bag, banged it silly.... it's a freakin' champ!
The price is way too low for the perfect microphone.

Perfect for my needs

I was looking for a vocal mic that rejected as much stage sound as possible, as I multi track my bands performances. The off axis rejection is fantastic and the dB drop beyond 6 inches is huge. You have to stay right up on the mic, but it really does what it claims to do!

Excellent for high volume environments

The clarity of this microphone makes it hard to believe that it isn't a condenser microphone. If you have speech-level vocal training than you'll have no problem with this microphone. Pop resistance is fantastic and if you eat the microphone, than this is your microphone. It is designed to be within in inch from your mouth. I wouldn't share it, though. Little to no eq is needed at the board and if you have a bedroom studio and/or can't treat for acoustic, this is definitely the microphone to record with. I have been continuously blown away by audix time and again.

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.
