The OM3, first introduced in 1989, is the original VLM technology
high-output vocal microphone. An American-made hand-held vocal
microphone designed for live performance, the OM3 is characterized by a
hypercardioid pickup pattern and a uniform frequency response of
50-18kHz.
An excellent choice for any size stage, the OM3-xb can
provide over 25 dB of feedback rejection off-axis and is able to handle
extremely high levels of gain without distortion. Transformerless
design, low impedance, and balanced output allow interference-free
performance even with long cable runs. The OM3 produces a highly
accurate, natural sound with slight bass proximity. A dent-resistant
spring-steel grill and sound pressure handling capabilities in excess
of 144dB add to the OM3's road-worthiness.
