Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have had this mic for well over a year now, and I am thrilled with it.
In a live setting, this mic really helps vocals sit a little higher in the mix. In other words, I have noticed that my vocals come through in a more defined way that allows it to be heard over the music.
As for build quality, the mic is solid, sturdy, with a nice feel. (and while we are on the subject, she's pretty easy on the eyes as well... that counts too, right?)
I also have a modest home studio, and since I do not yet own a condenser mic, have used this mic to record vocals into Logic9 via the Apogee Duet. This thing sounds great in a recording capacity as well- and although I would love to record with a condenser, the Om6 dynamic is probably a better option anyway, since I don't have any kind of soundproofing in the room where I record. (Condensers pick up EVERYTHING... the neighbor's dog, traffic, the clock the wall... everything...)
Anyway, my impression, not being a "golden-eared" sound expert, is that this mic is true to my voice, and sounds natural. It also sounds nice recording my accoustic, and while I have played a little bit with hooking it up to the amp/electric, mostly I have recorded my guitar and vocals.
Finally, unlike other close contenders (the shure58 being one of them), this mic is made in Oregon, as opposed to being built overseas. I have also been told that should the mic get damaged in some way, Audix will replace the "innards" for a reasonable fee...
I am so impressed with this mic, that I will always look to Audix first when mic shopping. (And no, I don't work for Audix;)...I am merely impressed with the OM6, and want more folks to know... Great dynamic mic!
The bottom line is that both in a live and recording capacity, I am so glad to have this mic around.
