I think it's great that you've made this comparison video, but this video makes it seem like any mic will do for any situation. Would love to see a more in-depth comparison of your microphones!
this didn't really tell us much honestly. but that said, imo, the OM5 is maybe the best all around vocal mic under $200- extremely transparent and especially great for male vocals. Never had a singer complain about it being provided on stage. up there with a senny 935. The VX5 is amazing- truly a best kept secret. no idea why this mic was never marketed better. it should be super popular. anyone who wants a crystal clear, true reproduction on their voice on a live stage really needs to give one a try. feedback is really a non issue... like the other OM mice (esp. 5 and up) the hyper-cardiod pick up pattern is something you have to be able to work with. you must stay right on it all the time. not something to hand a novice. I so want to see what a VX10 is like but no way am I paying for one.. the vx5 is fantastic and I don't see how could be that much better and worth that much more. can fine a review on one because I don't think anyone has ever bought one. but totally worth buying for anyone who cares about clean, uncolored vocal reproduction. the OM2 is serviceable but a little lack-luster compared to the other 05+ mics and the vx5. i have used them but would not but one again since you get so much more by spending a bit more on an OM5. haven't used the higher tier mics but some say that the OM6 is great on female vocals. and I though I read that the 7 and 11 have even tighter polar patterns, respectably, and therefore require even more attention when it comes to staying right on the mic.
I've had the Audix OM-3xb for over twenty years and have loved it. Recently I pulled it out of its' box after a bit of a hiatus for it and dialed it on an RME UFX. Running out of the RME is two Mackie HR824 mkii and the Audix sounds phenomenal. Not sure what I did to get so lucky and some of it was a touch of a fluke but I can't believe how amazing it sounds. Still wondering why the Red Hot Chilli Peppers aren't on your artists' list. Guess they don't want people to know their "Secret Sauce" :P Cheers to a great product
I have the same mic, it was only produced for a couple of years in the 90's and then discontinued. I wondered why they don't make this variant anymore.
I've used the OM-5 for over 10 years. I have bought new mics to replace it because I get the itch for something new. However, I am still using the OM 5 and the other mics are on a shelf. I can't recommend Audix enough.
it DID. now ill say this....at the same time i got the mic i got a gate/processor as well and by using both.....absolutley no feedback. cant say if it was just the mic.....but i do love the mic n my feedback is history now@@thegoodguy44

Very nice video, clear and concise.
You did great I went straight out and bought one
I have an OM2 and a VX5. I love the crisp clarity of Audix mics. Definitely want to get another one, just don't know which to get next?

I like this guy. He should be the face of audix.
HES GREAT :)

Did it?

Where’s the OM11 bruh???
I try to find an Audix with on/off switch !!!!!!!!!!!!
They have one now I noticed today on the Long&McQuade website.
Om-7 have less dynamics and more plosive, so beware.
Just don’t drop the om5
So... every mic is great for every purpose, except for the OM 6 you need to actually know how to sing? Now I'm more confused than before...
