The Audix OM2 is a handheld hypercardioid dynamic microphone designed to deliver highly directional capture of vocals and instruments in recording sessions and live stage applications. It boasts low handling noise and a hypercardioid polar pattern, which not only minimizes feedback caused by nearby monitors and speakers, but also reduces the pickup of stage bleed and room ambience. The dynamic element's low-mass diaphragm responds quickly to transients and handles sound pressure levels up to 140 dB.

It produces a frequency response of 50 Hz to 16 kHz with a mild rise centered at approximately 150 Hz along with a moderate presence boost above 2 kHz. The gold-plated XLR 3-pin output ensures compatibility with most microphone preamps and mixer inputs, and the zinc alloy body with a dent-resistant steel mesh grille provides road-ready protection and durability. The OM2 was designed, assembled, and tested in the USA, and ships with a microphone clip and carrying pouch.

Q: 1. What's the difference between the lightning vs the 3.5mm ?

A: The SmartRig+ with TRRS can be used with smartphones and cameras with 3.5mm inputs, well the lightning version: SmartRig+Di is made for iPhones and iPads with a Lightning input.

Q: 2. Is the 1/4" input TRS for long cable run from the mixer?

A: No, the 1/4" input is TS for instruments. You can go out from a mixer 1/4" into a direct box than XLR into the SmartRig+Di for best results, or even TRS to XLR cables and then mind the input gain if you do not have a direct box.

Q: 4. Hey! I have a Sennheiser MD 46 dynamic microphone. Do you know if the preamps in the linkflex-ad2 are good enough to boost this dynamic microphone? I would like to use the linkflex to connect the MD 46 to an iPhone (and possibly my good old Zoom H2). Would that work?

A: As previosly answered: 6249490Approved The Linkflex specs show up tp 20dB of gain. which may be enough gain, depending on your subjects volume level. One question is, how much electronic noise will be added to the signal? Another question is, how will the MD46 sound if you must turn the Linflex up to full level on its level control. A big part of how a microphone will sound, is the impedance of the mic pre (the Linkflex) amplifier. The noise spec is not listed in the spec sheet, so I would be weary of this. It may be a lot to include, but this is the reason these; Cloudlifter CL-1, are included in the signal chain with dynamic mics, to improve, not only gain, but performance...

Q: 5. Can this be used with the Cisco Webex Meetings app on iOS? Will it output and input audio at the same time?

A: According to Saramonic's marketing team, the SmartRig+ is not recognized by the Cisco Webex Meetings app on iOS. The iPhone does recognize it when used to connect your external microphone, but once the Webex app is loaded, it is no longer recognized. While the SmartRig+ is not compatible with the Webex app, it does work with Zoom.

Q: 6. Would this device work to take a call on whatsapp? To make a live broadcast by reporters/journalists? Thanks!

A: That would depend on if WhatsApp allows real-time audio monitoring through Lightning. It should, but you might want to contact WhatsApp's support to verify.

Q: 7. I am doing a Facebook Live broadcast. I want to run a direct signal from my board, M32r Midas or mr18, into my iphone with a stereo signal. Can I directly from my board to this and thento my phone or is there a better way for pristene sound? Thanks

A: The iRig is going to be the simplest and cleanest method to get audio from your board into your iPhone.

Q: 8. Is this comparable with the Audix HT2 -Condenser Headworn Microphone?

A: This kit comes with the Audix HT2 condenser headworn microphone.

Q: 9. I take it if there is a switch for record/playback this device probably can’t do playback while recording? I do track recording and normally play previous tracks through headphones while recording and I wondered if this one can do that.

A: You must download a recording application supporting real-time input/output pass-through. Then you are able to monitor the audio during recording.

Q: 10. Does anyone know if it is possible to send a Line Level signal into this unit?

A: Absolutely YES. It has XLR & 1/4" combo and 3.5mm inputs, so for line-level choose the 1/4" or 3.5mm inputs and use the level controls to dial in the level you desire.
