OM SERIES
The OM Series capsules are designed to maximize gain before feedback on stage. The
hypercardioid pickup pattern of the microphones are designed to reject sound from
instruments on stage. For best results, sing within a few inches of the microphone.
SETTING OUTPUT LEVEL
Choice of 10 Milliwatt or 40 Milliwatt RF transmission levels (pg 12).
VX5
The VX5 condenser microphone has a more open supercardioid pickup pattern. The
extended on-axis reach is ideal for singer/songwriters, keyboard players and vocalists who
want more freedom to work the microphone from a distance.
INTERCHANGEABLE CAPSULES
It is very easy to change a capsule assembly. Simply unscrew the capsule assembly at the
ring above the Audix logo.
Hint:
Do not unscrew the grill ball as it is a separate threaded piece intended to be
removed separately from the capsule housing.
CONTROLLING DISTORTION
Audix capsules are designed to handle very high sound pressure levels without distortion.
If distortion is detected, try to minimize or eliminate it from the mixing console by turning
down the trim and gain controls. If distortion persists, there is a gain setting at the capsule.
First remove the capsule assembly. Locate the dip switch on the green PCB inside the
housing. Use a miniature screwdriver to move the switch from 0 dB to -6 or -12.
