Audix OM11 — Hypercardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone
OM11 Overview
The Audix OM11 is a professional dynamic vocal microphone with roots dating back to 1985, when it was originally issued as the OM1. Designed for stage, studio, and broadcast applications, the OM11 features a tight, uniformly controlled hypercardioid polar pattern that isolates vocals from surrounding stage sources and resists feedback in high-volume environments. Its frequency response is tailored to deliver enhanced presence and articulation, allowing vocals to cut through dense mixes without distortion even at very high SPLs. The OM11 is well suited for touring vocalists, live sound engineers, and broadcast professionals who require consistent, reliable performance under demanding conditions.
Designed, machined, assembled, and tested by Audix in the USA, the OM11 is built for durability while remaining well balanced and comfortable for extended handheld use.
