SPECIFICATIONS:
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 150 ohms at
1 kHz.The microphone shall have a sensitivity of 0.8 mV / Pa at 1 kHz and a sound
pressure level ≥144 dB. The microphone body shall be of die cast 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 OM7.
OPERATION:
The OM7 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 OM7 is designed with an unconventionally low output level; this means that the
gain will have to be compensated on the mixing console or mic preamp. The OM7 has
the tightest pick-up pattern of any microphone on the market 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 as close as possible (within 1-inch)!
When using oor monitors, position the microphone so that it is parallel to the oor.
When using multiple microphones on a live performance stage, allow a distance of 2-3
feet between mics to avoid phase issues.

microphone fail in any way, please con-
tact the Audix Service department at
503-682-6933. A Return Authorization
number is required before returning

CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
The OM7 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.
