These Soundman OKM II mics are a clever little package for capturing a natural, spatial sound. The 'artificial head' approach works surprisingly well for dialogue, ASMR, and immersive live recordings. They’re a great budget-friendly option for videographers or anyone needing a compact stereo mic solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

The NTG5s offer a wider frequency response and potentially more detail, but the OKM II’s smaller size and artificial head approach can be a real advantage for close-mic'd dialogue.
Given the -38dBV sensitivity, you'll need a preamp with a decent amount of clean gain to get a healthy signal level, especially for louder sources.
Being omnidirectional, they are more prone to wind noise than cardioid mics; a windscreen is highly recommended for outdoor use.
