OM1 DYNAMIC MICROPHONE
OVERVIEW
The
OM-1, a hand-made microphone first introduced in 1985,
quickly established itself with live sound engineers as
one of the best mics for rock and roll. It was
discontinued, unfortunately, because of the prohibitive
costs associated with producing it. Now, 16 years later,
we are proud to re-issue it with the original cutting
edge sound and stylish two-stage, machined brass body.
With an updated composite capsule housing and mounting
system, the OM-1 has very high output with extremely low
handling noise.
The OM-1 is characterized with an
elevated mid range for sharp, crisp vocals along with a
slight bass proximity to enrich the over-all sound. The
mic also handles very high SPL levels without
distortion, has superior off-axis rejection and supplies
maximum gain before feedback. A spring steel grill and
all brass construction provide rock solid
durability.
The new OM-1 successfully maintains
the integrity of the original capsule, while taking
advantage of some of the advancements of today’s
materials and automated production processes. Balanced,
low impedance output allow for interference-free
performance even with long cable runs. Full
