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. |
