Why an Ohma mic?

Ohma microphones come in two types: ribbon and condenser. Both use the same body, so every screen and accessory is fully interchangeable.

As Seen In

"I don't know how they did all this at $699. What I do know is that I kept both pairs, and in two years I've yet to find any ground that these two mics can't cover."

–Chris Koltay / Tape Op 
"If you’re looking to shake up the look and sound of your mic collection, this is the one for you." 

–David Blascoe / Recording Mag
"The Ohma Ribbon, despite its 'colorful' visual nature, is a professional studio ribbon mic that more than holds its own with the classic heavy hitters mentioned above. It sounds THAT good."

–Paul Vnuk Jr. / Recording Mag

    First Encounters, Lasting Impressions

    These are the words of creators, engineers, and artists meeting Ohma for the very first time.
    Thanks for allowing normal dudes like me to borrow and demo the mic. Honestly it's such a quality piece of kit. 

    It's so tiring searching for opinions and suggestions online only to buy something to find out that it doesn't work with my amp/guitar/setup. 

    It is refreshing having a company willing to take a chance and standing by their equipment to the point of loaning it out like you did.

    John G.

    Within about 30 minutes I knew I wasn't sending it back.

    Easily one of my favorite pieces of gear, and an all around great company.

    I highly recommend Ohma Mics to anyone looking for a beautiful mic that doesn't skimp on quality.

    Zander B.

    Thank you so much again for sending the demo mic my way!

    I finally had the chance to test out the mic with a client, and I just have to say — I was super impressed. 

    The client was blown away too — he even asked how much it costs and started checking out the gold version on your website mid-session!

    Again, I can’t thank you enough. The mic is truly a professional-grade tool, and it exceeded expectations.

    Jeanmark C.

    Wow, the microphone is amazing and I really loved the tone it brings. It has that warm and natural sound you look for in a ribbon mic, and it responds well in the mid frequencies. [...] 

    But honestly, you’re creating something truly beautiful with a high level of sonic quality.

    Ismael O.

    The microphone sounds incredible. for the price, I personally prefer it over some of the U87s I've used in more professional settings. 

    It’s so crisp and detailed, and sounds good on just about anything from tracking vocals, to guitar.

    Thanks for the opportunity to test it out! 

    It’s been wonderful and wish more companies would do a free trial phase with the option to purchase at the end of it as you guys do!

    Noah L.

    The mic is gorgeous! 

    It’s difficult to stop trying on everything. It can be so very colored or very crisp depending on positioning. 

    It’s the best sounding mic I’ve used on vocals. I had a warm audio 67 and 87 and various others. This little guy shames them all. It’s brilliant!

    Brandon L.

    You guys should be very proud, this is a gorgeous sounding microphone and it's been so fun getting to use it for this time.

    About Ohma World

    Pro sound, custom looks, zero compromise. That’s Ohma. 

    Ohma World consists of a small team of engineers and artists with backgrounds in legendary mic design, including work with AEA Ribbon Mics and Bock Audio. 

    Their microphones stand out for their patented acoustic modular design, their own proprietary capsule (not a clone like most condenser mics), and a generous price made possible by building everything in-house. 

    Every Ohma mic is handcrafted from capsule and ribbon tuning to final paint, giving them complete control over both quality and performance.
