Product Description

The i-5, the latest innovation from Audix, is a dynamic microphone that can be used for any instrument miking application for stage and studio. With its sleek styling and unique probe cap design, the i-5 features a durable cast zinc alloy body and black E-coat finish. Every model is attractively laser etched with its model and serial number.

The Audix i5 was designed by the true microphone experts at Audix to handle
a wide variety of applications and survive the absolute torture of live
sound gigs. The Audix i5 is the ideal choice for snare, toms, percussion
instruments, and can even handle the blistering SPL levels of electric guitar
cabinets. Built around a bulletproof transformerless - XLR balanced design and
housed in a precision cast zinc-alloy case with a steel mesh grill (stick hits no
problem here), the i5 is a super-smooth dynamic mic featuring 50-16kHz frequency response and a very useable cardioid pattern with incredible off-axis
rejection (>23dB) for exceptionally high gain before feedback. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Audix products.

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (15 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
"A must-have addition to your microphone cabinet."
Sound: Blows the SM57 out of the water on snare top, guitar cabs. Pleasently surprised when we tried the i5 on a scratch vocal track-warm full sound on male voice. Equally surprised when we tried it in conjuction with a SDC on acoustic guitar. The best "utility" microphone on the market. Feature: Umm...its a plain jane dynamic mic. No switches. Nice gold XLR connector though. Ease of Use: Point and shoot...great. Quality: Solid constuction, awesome. Value: Based on it's superior sound, the value is outstanding. Manufacturer Support: Have not needed to contact Audix. That's a good thing, right?

"New SM57"
Sound: This is a very awesome mic. I was kind of sceptical about getting it but I decided to go for it. Seeing as how I don't want the generic 57 stamp on my products. This has a very bright sound with enough body to make anybody happy. I used it on snare and my snare just cut through the mix. I did a side by side comparison with a 57 and with the pre's and faders at the same level, same eq it was a lot louder and clear sounding. Feature: It came with a bag and clip, oh a sticker, almost forgot, a sticker. Ease of Use: You plug it in. Its a microphone! Quality: Definately higher quality than a 57. You could drop this off a building and it will probably work. Maybe not look so good but probably work. (I don't advise you to do so) Value: I would have paid 200 for this microphone. Definately worth the 100 dollars. Manufacturer Support: I gave it a 5 cause I haven't had to deal with them yet. The Wow Factor: Definately like design. It looks like it has rear phase delay ports but they are definately running the same way as the microphone so it can't be. Nice touch though. Overall: Most likely have this microphone for years to come. Perhaps the new 57 if they market it right.
