ClearOne OM3 Wireless Dynamic Microphone

The ClearOne OM3 Wireless Dynamic Microphone combines a trusted Audix OM3 dynamic capsule with a robust wireless platform to deliver professional vocal clarity in live sound, broadcast, and presentation environments. Engineered for performers, speakers, and educators, this handheld wireless mic offers a crisp, natural vocal presence across 60 Hz to 15 kHz, with a super-cardioid pickup pattern that minimizes feedback and isolates the voice from stage noise. By operating in the M586 RF band (573–599 MHz), it provides reliable wireless performance in crowded environments, enabling unrestricted movement without sacrificing signal integrity. Whether on a crowded stage, in a lecture hall, or during a livestream, this microphone is designed to be your dependable ally for intelligible speech and expressive vocal performance.

• Premium capsule and sound: Powered by the Audix OM3 dynamic capsule, the ClearOne OM3 delivers a balanced, articulate vocal tone with clear presence and controlled high-end air. The 60 Hz–15 kHz frequency response ensures warmth for spoken word and vivid detail for singing, with smooth mids that sit comfortably in a live mix. The super-cardioid pattern focuses on the performer’s voice, offering excellent gain-before-feedback and reduced leakage from stage monitors, applause, and ambient noise.
• Reliable wireless performance: Equipped with an RF band in the M586 range (573–599 MHz), the OM3 minimizes interference and supports clean, dependable connectivity in typical live environments. This band selection helps keep your signal stable even in venues with multiple wireless devices, avoiding common dropouts and hiss caused by crowded spectrum. The result is consistent audio delivery from the moment you step on stage to the final encore.
• Rugged, ergonomic design: Built for daily use, the mic body is designed to withstand the rigors of frequent handling onstage and in classrooms. The ergonomic handheld form provides a comfortable grip for long performances, while a robust grille protects the capsule and reduces plosives. A windsock or windscreen further minimizes breath pops and environment noise, ensuring clean vocal capture whether you’re delivering a high-energy chorus or a quiet speech.
• Versatility for live and broadcast environments: The OM3 is ideal for stage performances, corporate events, houses of worship, school assemblies, and conference rooms. Its dynamic capsule and super-cardioid pickup deliver strong, intelligible voice reproduction in loud onstage settings, while the wireless design enables performers to move freely, engage with audiences, and interact with presenters without cables getting in the way. The mic handles a broad range of vocal styles with authority, from powerful belts to delicate speaking tones.
• Seamless compatibility and easy setup: Designed to work smoothly with ClearOne receivers and compatible audio ecosystems, the OM3 offers straightforward pairing, quick frequency selection within the specified band, and simple integration with mixers and PA systems. The intuitive workflow reduces setup time for events and classrooms, letting technicians focus on performance quality rather than troubleshooting.

How to install ClearOne OM3 Wireless Dynamic Microphone

• 1. Unpack and inspect: Remove the microphone from its packaging and verify that the transmitter and receiver are present, along with any batteries or charging accessories. Check for visible damage and ensure the microphone grille is clean.
• 2. Power up and set the band: Power on the receiver and the handheld microphone. Set the receiver to the RF band M586 (573–599 MHz) and ensure the LED indicators show a healthy link. If your venue has other wireless devices, perform a quick scan to confirm a clear channel within the band.
• 3. Pair and tune: If your system requires pairing, follow the receiver’s pairing procedure to link the handheld mic. Select a channel with minimal interference and stable signal. Make any necessary antenna or splitter adjustments to optimize reception across the venue.
• 4. Connect to the audio chain: Connect the receiver’s outputs to your mixer or PA system using the appropriate XLR or 1/4" connections. Set the input gain so the signal is strong but not distorted, and configure the preamp for a clean, noise-free vocal signal.
• 5. Perform a sound check and adjust: Have the performer test speaking and singing at typical levels. Adjust EQ, compression, and high-pass filters to shape the vocal tone. Confirm that the mic remains stable during movement and that the audience-friendly level remains consistent across the performance.
• 6. Maintain and monitor during use: During the event, monitor the RF environment and audio signal. Avoid placing the receiver near sources of interference such as wireless routers, large metal structures, or other RF-emitting devices. Replace batteries as needed and periodically check for any dropouts or unusual noise.
