Audix OM5-A10X COMBO

The Audix OM5-A10X Combo pairs two essentials for the working vocalist: the Audix OM5 hypercardioid dynamic vocal microphone and Audix A10X in-ear earphones. The OM5 is known for its tight pattern control, clarity, and feedback rejection on loud stages, while the A10X earphones deliver detailed, immersive monitoring with extended bass, giving singers a complete vocal and monitoring kit in one package.

Highlights

• Audix OM5 hypercardioid dynamic vocal microphone
• Audix A10X in-ear earphones with extended bass
• OM5 frequency response: 48 Hz-19 kHz
• Handles over 144 dB SPL without distortion
• Tight pattern with deep rear nulls for high gain before feedback
• Ideal for stage, rehearsal, home, and studio use

Audix OM5: Tight Pattern, Clear Vocals

The OM5’s hypercardioid pattern shows little to no rear lobe, with deep nulls at about 150 degrees, so it rejects stage monitors and nearby instruments for more vocal level before feedback. A gentle low-frequency roll-off below 120 Hz reduces boom and handling noise, and a lift from 3 kHz upward helps vocals cut through a dense mix.

A10X Earphones for Personal Monitoring

The A10X earphones use a dynamic low-mass moving-coil driver to deliver balanced response with extended bass, along with strong isolation from stage noise. They’re a natural fit for in-ear monitor systems, practice, and everyday listening.

Setting Up the OM5-A10X Combo

Connect the OM5 to your mixer with an XLR cable; no phantom power is needed. Sing close to the grille for warmth, and keep floor wedges positioned at the mic’s rear null points. Insert the A10X earphones with a snug seal, connect them to your in-ear monitor receiver or headphone output, and start at a low volume.

What to Pair With the OM5-A10X Combo

Pair the combo with a sturdy mic stand, a quality XLR cable, a wireless in-ear monitor system, a mic clip, and a padded case to keep both items protected on the road.

Why Hypercardioid for Vocals?

A hypercardioid pattern is narrower than a standard cardioid, so it picks up less sound from the sides. On loud stages with drums, guitar amps, and monitors, that means cleaner vocals and more headroom before feedback, especially for singers who keep the mic close.

Built for Working Musicians

Audix microphones are built for the road, and the OM5’s durable construction and consistent sound make it a long-term choice for touring, worship, and local gigs.

Getting a Good Earphone Fit

In-ear monitors sound best with a full seal. Try each size of ear tip to find the one that blocks outside noise comfortably, insert the earphones with a slight twist, and route the cable over your ears to reduce movement noise. A proper seal delivers fuller bass at lower volume, protecting your hearing.

Microphone Care

Wipe the OM5 grille after each use and remove it occasionally to clean the foam insert. Store the mic in a padded pouch or case, and avoid dropping it on hard floors, which can dent the grille and shift its sound.
