Ohma World
Founded in East Los Angeles, Ohma World is an audio and design brand established by friends who share a common mission: to provide means for creative expression that are as unique as the stories we tell.
With sound engineers and musicians at the helm of our vision, we strive to design beautiful products that inspire exploration and playfulness in music-making. We believe curiosity, originality, and fun should be the driving forces behind our audio product design. Together, we are building a world where we can express ourselves freely and find beauty in the creative process.

Our mission
We aim to foster a supportive and inclusive space where individuals can explore their creative voices and express themselves through sound and style. That is why, at Ohma World, we believe in diversity and inclusion in both our products and company culture. Technology should never be a barrier to creative expression; creativity should always find its way regardless of circumstances or limitations.
Our team
Ohma World is an LGBTQ-owned company that reflects the diversity of its founders and team members: we are majority owned by a non-binary person of color, with additional contributions from queer and genderqueer founders. We strive to create a space where everyone feels welcomed and respected regardless of who they are or where they come from. By embracing this kind of inclusive ethos, we hope to cultivate an atmosphere that celebrates individuality, promotes collaboration, encourages learning, and fosters growth.
Our core founders have been working together for over a decade, unifying creativity and technology with music and sound. With nearly five decades of collective experience in the audio manufacturing industry, alongside our roles as professional musicians and audio engineers, the Ohma team is always on the lookout for fresh ways to share our unyielding passion.
Our objective is not only to build exceptional tools but it's also to create a platform where people can explore, share and celebrate the beauty of sound. We believe in making music accessible and fun, and our instruments are designed with this same spirit of collaboration in mind. We want our microphones to empower each individual to express themselves more freely — blurring the lines between artistry and technology to create something truly special.
