    great product

    A good alternative to an SM 57 with a slightly different flavor. I am not going to say better but different indeed. Great all purpose mic but really shines on a guitar cab.

    This mic sounds basically like a 57 but better. It's more opened, wider sounding. It's easier to mix. It's going to become a classic for sure.

What We Think

Without a doubt, the Audix i5 has become "a standard" in the studio or while on stage. Building off of what made everybody's old-standby great, Audix improved upon the idea of the multi-purpose instrument/vocal microphone. The i5 is a little less "bitey" on the top end and has more bass response than the 'old-standard' - somewhat negating the need for matching it up with another mic tailored for more bottom end response on a guitar or bass cabinet. Speaking of which... while the i5 is a great all around microphone it is exceptionally good on guitar cabinets and on snare drums. And for those concerned with durability, this mic is tough! The capsule is all metal - no plastic! We have several in the studio here at Front End Audio which are are used constantly with no fear of getting destroyed by a drummer with a 'wild-pitch'.
