Compare our microphones

The Ohma and the Ohmie are two very different microphone designs, both built and tuned by us in East Los Angeles. They share the same attention to capsule tuning and in-house assembly, but the circuitry, sound, form factor and overall approach are intentionally different.

Ribbon and Condenser

Ohma

Built around character. Choose the original Debby condenser or the active ribbon, then shape the response further with interchangeable acoustic screens. It brings a sound, look and personality you're unlikely to already have.

Dual Voltage Condenser

Ohmie

Built to cover a lot of ground. A compact, low-noise, high-output condenser for detailed, clean recording, with Dual Voltage giving you two ways to use the capsule.

How they're different

Feature
Ohma
Ohmie
Mic type
Cardioid condenser or figure-8 active ribbon.
Cardioid condenser.
Circuit
Debby condenser coupled through a CineMag transformer, or active ribbon with a Lehle transformer. Both transformers are a big part of the Ohma sound.
Transformerless, low-noise, high-output design.
Sound control
Swappable acoustic screens physically change the frequency response, from more focused and controlled to more open and room-forward.
Dual Voltage switches the capsule between 48V and 80V for two different responses, with about 5 dB more output at 80V.
Sound character
Distinctive, characterful and dimensional. The Debby condenser and the ribbon each have their own voice, and the screens push it in different directions.
Detailed, clean, balanced and natural, flexible enough to move between a wide range of sources without imposing a strong character.
Customization
Choose colors, finishes, acoustic screens and a custom logo. Most are finished in a Cerakote ceramic coating that we apply in-house.
One signature Ohmie design.
Form factor
A larger modular design built around the interchangeable screens.
Smaller and more compact, easy to move between studio, home, field and mobile setups.
Best fit
Adding a microphone with a distinct personality to your mic locker, or building one around a specific sound, source or setup.
One condenser that handles a lot of jobs: vocals, instruments, production, sampling, podcasting and field recording.
Price
$799 ready to ship, $899 in Build Your Ohma colors.
$349, or $399 with the Ohmie Pop Filter.
