I am a singer songwriter musician....I have used many different mics and I love the Audix OM line, I LOVE the OM-7, I use my speakers behind me in place of a monitor set up so that I hear what my audience hears. With the OM-7 I dont have to worry about feedback and after using the mic for a while you get used to the great difference in how you use mic technique. For the OM-7 you MUST have good to exceptional mic technique, you only have to move your mouth 1/2 and inch to get a much different result so you actually have to train with the OM-7 to use it properly
I’ve been singing through an Om5 for the past 10yrs or so . I concur with everything you’ve said , interesting that Tom Petty used a Shute sm57 for so long
nice review. I've owned the OM5 for many years. I started carrying this mic years ago just for myself when playing at different venues. I have a higher, softer voice so it works for me. What really changed my mind set with carrying my own live mic was a person that I met. He said " you have a Martin guitar and a 72 deluxe and a lot of other money invested on stage... but you will accept any vocal mic when you show up for a gig?" Point taken
Yes, I find it surprising how many really good vocalists do not find & invest in a microphone that really helps them deliver their best performance. So many come in and happily use the house mics. At the other extreme - one time I had an outstanding jazz singer come in with her own mic which she insisted on using that was a inexpensive ($50) Shure PG48. I questioned of that was the best choice for her. Of course talent is almost always more important than the gear.
Thanks so much! Have you ever tried or used an Audix OM6? I’ve settled into a two mic arrangement of a KMS105 for quiet acoustic gigs and an OM7 for loud wedge gigs, but have a buddy I play with that prefers to sing a bit more off the mic. I remember hearing years ago Audix introduced the OM6 to give a little wider pattern than the 5/7 with the same smooth response. Thinking that could be another good option. We tried a Telefunken M81 as those have been EVERYWHERE on stages lately, but that seemed even more hypercardioid than the Audixes!
Thanks! I have just about every OM-series mic, except the OM6. I like them all, so I'd expect the OM6 to be excellent, but I don't have direct experience with that model. Good luck in your search for the best mics for you.
Dave, did you already try the Om6? It's my favorite live microphone. I prefer the sound of the Om6 over the one of the Om7, because the rise in the bass below 700 Hz is smoother, which creates a warmer, cleaner body of the sound, it doesn't boost the 5 kHz range as much, which can help reduce harshness and it has slightly more high end extension (air). The polar pattern is not as tight, but it's still comparable to good supercaroid dynamic microphones of other brands and it gives you an easier time getting a consistent tone with less popping. The Om5 is really similar to the Om6 soundwise. It just has ever so slightly more bite at 6-7 kHz and a less extended bass response (which is probably compensated by the necessary lower singing distance, but you want to highpass it out anyway on vocals in a mix). However, the Om5 has a very narrow polar pattern. Not really better back rejection than the Om7, but the response drops of very fast on the sides, which limts the range of motion even further, which for me doesn't seem worth the additional rejection on the sides.
Thanks for this test. I liked the tone of the proximity effect on the D5, considering that's where my mouth will be 95% of the time on stage. This for me is the most important aspect of a stage mic - being able to belt with your mouth on the grill, and still have a somewhat unmuddied tone. I also thought that, whilst the OMs did have noticeably more off-axis rejection, the D5 seems to reject lower frequencies more, which is what I'm mostly looking for (ie. less bass guitar and drums spilling through the mic). And the D5 is almost half the price of the OM5 too.
@@Barry-Watson they say that the om5 is more fragile then the om2. You know if its true? I wish to how to check the authenticity of the om5 im buyng. Im from Brazil, and i dont know how to reconize a fake mic....
@@jlstudart261083 I've heard that complaint about OM5 failures. I can only relate my experience which is I have several Audix OM series mics, and they have been well used (and abused) for years with no failures. But, this might be an instance where I'd be tempted to buy new, and have a warranty. All my Audix mics seem to have high quality, and I appreciate that they are a USA made product. Counterfeit product is a big issue with the really popular models, like the Shure SM58, so I'd be reluctant to buy from a marketplace like e-bay, or from resellers I'm not familiar with. Also, I don't think authorized resellers can offer Shure products at deep discount, so if it's new product selling much below typical retail I'd be suspicious. Some of the counterfeit/clone products look really good, it can be hard to identify if you're not very familiar with the real version, but a lot of them just don't sound like the real thing.
This has been the most helpful comparison/review of the mics, especially between AKG D5 and Audix OM5. I agree, I think OM5 sounds better than OM7, and it sounds better than SM58 (3:54) and AKG D5 (7:57). An EXCELLENT review. Thank you, Barry.
Never used the OM5 but I do have the OM7 for some years now and love the hell out of it. You have to have disciplined mic technique to use it. You always have to keep in line with it and not move off axis AT ALL as the polar pattern is extremely tight. I've never had it sound boxy as it does in this review. Recently got the AKG D5 and love the brightness and louder output level.
Very useful review. I’ve been looking for a mic that rejects stage sound. OM7 seems to be a good choice. Drum bleed into my vocal mic is killing our FOH and IEM mixes!
The OM7 is really good at rejecting sounds from the rear and sides. If the drums are directly behind you, then they're still going to go into the front of the microphone, so you might need to consider your stage placement a little bit. Always best to fix issues at the source... would be nice if you could convince your drummer that he doesn't have to use Godzilla style on everything, especially the metal parts. I think it's a treat when I work with drummers who play with a light touch, but have the dynamic control to hit hard when the song calls for it, and to back off when it's not needed. Also personally, I consider a lot of the metal on the drum kit to be the explanation point, if you use it too often it kind of loses its impact. Hard hitting drummers, in small rooms, can be a handful sometimes.
I think Audix mics have excellent build quality. I've done many shows and none of my Audix vocal or drum mics have failed. Of course, you can break most anything if you try hard enough, but both Audix and Shure mics have been very reliable for me.
I like both the OM2 and OM3. I feel the OM3xb is a bit warmer, and I rarely use the OM2 only because I prefer the OM5s and OM7s which i have available. I think the OM2 is a good competitor to the SM58.
Very Nice Barry! I have OM2, OM5, OM6, I5, D6... all great Mics. Audix Rocks ;) Also like a Lot the AKG D5, one of my favorites. The Blue Encore100 is another great dinamic Mic. Have you ever tried the Behringer xm8500? It´s a nice inexpensive mic.
Thanks for sharing! I have not used the Behringer mics, except for the calibration mics... and I can tell there is 1-2db difference between them, which I think is pretty good for a $50 mic.
Was always divided between the D5 and the 58. I wanted something to use for voice overs that could have good rejection instead of my beloved AT 2020 which is great but it captures basically anything around me. One point you have to me that made go for the D5 is the presence and how less harsh it is on the high end, since I have a very high pitched voice this could help me a ton. Also the D5 is about 40€ cheaper than the 58 (D5 is 59€ and the SM58 is 98€) so I guess i'm not going to go wrong with the D5
I've gone through the same process for voiceover, the LDCs sound nice but tend to pick up background noise. I like the D5 a lot, especially on stage where it seems to cut the mix a bit more than a SM58. For voiceover I like using the Shure SM86, which sounds very clear and has high output (less preamp gain makes less background hiss). Lately I find myself using the Shure SM57 with a pop filter, with a bit of EQ it just sounds natural on my voice. For most voices, I think you can make any of those mic choices work well.
I'm the kind of person that would be substantially more ecstatic about being handed the D5 than SM58. e835 and e845 seem interesting as well, do you have an opinion on them?
Thanks! Sennheiser makes great product, and those mics are good on the right singer. I actually prefer the 835 over the 945/965, which sound a little too crispy to me. In my experience these mics seem to have a very boosted high end, which is usually more than I prefer, and because of this I find them a bit more likely to feedback at high frequency than some other models. For this reason, I don't have any Sennheiser mics in my personal collection. But, if that's what I have to work with, no problem as they are good mics, and it's no limitation to putting on a great show. Not really my favorite, but it's a matter of taste, I know some soundguys and musicians who love them.
The Sennheisers are not for me. They make my voice sound thin and unnatural. They emphasize harshness more than presence and boxyness more than warmth, which is the opposite from what I'd want. Every voice is different though.
I can't say what the best mic for you is, but I like both the Shure 58 and AKG D5, most often I'd probably pick the D5 since I think it sounds a little brighter, clearer.but still balanced. Both mics and especially the D5 are a good value for the price.
@@ICUNURSE Now I have both sm58 and AKG D5... iam using them since a couple of weeks... I got this conclusion AKG D5 is best for singing... SM58 is best for Speech... of course for singing too(Proper mixing and perfect sound system is needed)... with AKG D5 you may miss some depth of sm58(its tone is unique) but you have great presence in the mix for solo vocals... if your preference is singing just go with AKG D5... i really love it using for singing... SM58 for speech... you can watch my channel that i am using both the mics...
I would also like to point out the health benefits of carrying your own vocal mic. You can never count on the venue to keep things clean and sanitized. Where I work, we clean our 58's several times a week, but how can you as an artist be sure of that?
Great review. 🎤🔥🔥🔥 I personally do not like SM58 for my voice, I prefer Audix or Sennheiser. The best budget option is AKG D5....it is also the ugliest one out of them all. 😁
Live performance, or recording? If you're recording, record the guitar, then lay the vocals on top of it in a separate session. I'd lean toward studio condenser microphones. If it's a live performance, I would expect to be able to get away with using almost any decent vocal mic. The OM7 will give you the best rejection, but a key would be to use very close miking on your vocals. Be right on top of the microphone so your vocals are much louder into the mic than anything else it can hear. I'd say the OM5 sounds a little bit smoother than the OM7, but I think they're both good mics,
If you have a friendly audio store, or know somebody with a collection of microphones, see if you can try a handful of different vocal mics. Do a short little one minute recording of your vocals on all these different mics then playback the recording and carefully listen on headphones and see which one you think represents your vocal sound the best. Then from those mics that you think sound really good I would grab the one that offers you the best rejection.
@@KurtCobain2021 There are a whole lot of great microphones to choose from. You might consider the Audio Technica 4000 series, to me this is the entry point where you start getting into some very good microphones. Not cheap, but not extraordinarily expensive either for a near-top-tier mic I think you'll like and not soon "outgrow". I think a mic of this class would reproduce your guitar, and your vocals, excellently. You could use a mic like this for just about anything, except insanely loud sources such as inside of a kick drum, or close mic on a snare drum. I'd also include in my purchase an inexpensive pop filter for the vocals. amzn.to/49w7Ucq (mic) amzn.to/3FUs0zF (pop filter) There are excellent choices from other brands as well, of course.
PLEASE DO!!! That honestly one thats missing on youtube, very niche video, but for folks like me thats exactly whats needed so we dont go wasting our money lmao
I think the Audix om2 and om5 sounds the least “electronic” for more acoustic style bands, natural sound more than a Shure. We play bluegrass and it’s the only brand I will buy
I also play bluegrass and love the OM-7 which I have used for 5 years now. I love it when I sing lead. I have recently bought a VX-10 as it allows me to go further away and sing loud, but at the same time not to be dominant when singing baritone (which I do with another band). I look forward to testing the OM-5 and hope that the bass roll-off is not too dominant. Oh yes - I always use a windscreen as I dislike popping and especially wind noise ("F"). I stay right on the OM-7.
Pls, heip me make a choice - Rode M1, Audix OM5, se Electronics v3,v7, Audio-technica pro61,pro31… or something other for my restaurant's work. I have e945, D5, Behringer xm8500 (old clear & new def version))). I've had sm58, akg d3800 many yrs ago... В общем, я ищу звук, а то скоро из-за больного ублюдка путина всё это будет недоступно для нас здесь.
It's personal preference, and what mic sounds best to you with your situation. I've had good results with the OM5 and the D5, looks like you have a collection of good choices. You might try doing a little recording with each of your mics, then listen to see what model works best for your voice.
