Audix mics are built in their manufacturing facility in Oregon, this ensures quality control and allows for enhancements as new processes and materials become available. Thousands of amateur and professional musicians, engineers, houses of worship, and schools employ Audix mics every day. The D6 kick mic has earned a reputation for its powerful punch, and the OM2 rivals vocal mics costing more than double of what it does. Performance is everything, and that mindset is what separates Audix from everyone else.
