Audix i5 Instrument Microphone Reviews
9 out of 10
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
"I-5"
Feature:
This mic is my new best friend. Its sounds like a 57...except not. At first glance(or touch) it is noticebly heavier and more rugged than a 57, and being that it has an all metal shell, it could probably withstand a hard hit from a drummer or a drop to the floor much better too.
Quality:
obviously more rugged than a 57, all metal shell, less handling noise. and it sounds good too!
Value:
if you like 57's, you'll like this mic.....if not, then you probably arent reading this review.
Desirability:
perhaps i will buy one or two more, to supplement my 57 collection. as far as sex appeal goes, your kinky girlfriend might enjoy it.
Sound:
It sounds like a 57 with a mid scoop....and the charts show that too, so no surprises there. it does have ALOT less handling noise, my feeling is that the rotating head/grill assembly on the 57 transfers minute vibrations. As far as output, it is about the same as the 57 i paired it against, but it takes EQ and FX better. Up close it has a more pronounced proximity effect than a 57, but it doesnt have the 'telephone-esque' sound that the 57 has, and therefore, sounds quite pleasant..it might even make a nice kick drum mic.
Support:
not needed.

"A must-have addition to your microphone cabinet."
Feature:
Umm...its a plain jane dynamic mic. No switches. Nice gold XLR connector though.
Quality:
Solid constuction, awesome.
Value:
Based on it's superior sound, the value is outstanding.
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.
Ease of Use:
Point and shoot...great.
Support:
Have not needed to contact Audix. That's a good thing, right?
