Clean and clearly defined

The i5 from the US manufacturer Audix is a dynamic microphone with a cardioid pickup pattern, and it's fair to describe it as a genuine all‑rounder. It performs convincingly on a whole range of acoustic instruments, from snare drum and toms to saxophone and trumpet. It will deliver reliable results on guitar amps, and the i5 can more than hold its own as a vocal mic too. This versatility is largely down to its wide frequency response, which spans 50Hz to 16kHz, as well as Audix's own VLM diaphragm, which produces a natural and accurate response to fast transients. This combination of sound quality and its robust zinc alloy housing make the i5 well suited to use both in the studio and live on stage. What many FOH engineers are likely to appreciate, finally, is its resistance to feedback and its very low pickup of unwanted ambient noise, helping to ensure a clean and clearly defined sound.

The Audix VLM diaphragm

The Audix i5 is a bit shorter than many other dynamic microphones with similar all‑rounder credentials: This makes it especially easy to position using the mic clip included here, for example on a snare. It'll just stay neatly out of the way, so even the most aggressive drummer's flow won't be disrupted. Similarly, the i5 is also very unlikely to distort even the loudest signals, as the capsule can handle levels of up to 140dB. The resulting clear sound is due in no small part to the VLM diaphragm, which also copes well with very fast transients. A look at the frequency response shows a lift at around 150Hz, which is where much of the body and fullness sits for many instruments, including the snare. There's also a healthy boost between 3 and 8kHz, adding plenty of presence in the mix. The mids, by contrast, are slightly scooped, giving the i5 a more open sound than, for instance, a 57.

A modern alternative

A dynamic all‑rounder, the Audix i5 is a well‑built, modern alternative to competitors that have been fixtures in this category for decades. What stands out in particular is the way it combines a focused, assertive sound with an ability to retain the natural fullness of the source. A snare, for example, keeps its low‑end weight rather than thinning out. Transients are also handled in greater detail, thanks to the VLM diaphragm. Anyone looking for a contemporary take on the classic dynamic mic has found what they're after in the i5. That said, the microphone shouldn't be thought of purely as an alternative: Many creative users will soon be using it as their go‑to dynamic mic. Its versatility, whether in the studio or on stage, speaks for itself, and the same goes for its sensible pricing and robust build quality.

About Audix

Audix is a US microphone manufacturer which was founded in 1984. The small company has its headquarters in Wilsonville, Oregon and offers a wide selection of microphones – both for the recording studio and for live use. The range of products extends from instrument microphones, such as those from the well-known D series, to vocal microphones with complete wireless systems. The company's remit goes beyond the music industry, however, since it also provides lavalier microphones, console microphones, and other devices for permanent installation. Audix also produces headphones and various microphone accessories, such as stands and XLR cables.

Your new favourite mic

For recording the vast majority of sound sources, it's hard to go wrong with the Audix i5 – whether that's in the studio or on stage. It's particularly well suited to close miking on a drum kit: Thanks to its low sensitivity of 1.6 mV/Pa, it keeps spill from the hi‑hat to a minimum when used on snare, and the cardioid pickup pattern helps further in this respect. As a result, the i5 works just as well as a top‑snare mic as it does underneath. With its fairly extended low‑frequency response and a lift around 150Hz, the i5 will also make toms sound reassuringly full. Its ability to cope with high sound pressure levels means brass instruments such as trumpets and trombones pose no problem either. When it comes to guitars, the i5 impresses not only on a guitar cabinet, but also placed in front of an acoustic guitar. Here, its clean and well‑resolved top end comes into play, which is unusually good for a dynamic microphone.

Audix i-5

Gebruik voor live & opnames, zelf gebruik ik 'm voor gitaarversterkers, snares & racktoms.

Een lekker kleine, lichte microfoon, als stiekem broertje van de SM57, maar dan met meer laag en minder mid-hoog. Wil je een vette snare sound dan kan ik deze zeker aanraden. Zeker in combinatie met een ouderwetse compressor erg dik.

Ze noemen het ook zelf als groot voordeel dat je deze microfoon erg makkelijk weg kan stoppen onder een hi-hat, door het kleine formaat. Je merkt gelijk dat het allemaal wat makkelijker gaat.

Alleen het clipje waar je de mic inschuift moet je zelf even aandraaien. Deze zit namelijk niet zo strak.

Als je eens iets anders wil dan een SM57 op snares en gitaarversterkers dan kan ik deze zeker aanraden. Vooral als je een wat voller geluid wilt.

A Great All-Rounder!
Anoniem 22.02.2016
I have been a fan of Shure SM57s all my musical life (33 years). However, around two years ago, a soundman at church (who often does sound for my band) put me on to the Audix i-5; I worked with him one night and heard it for myself on snare. A few weeks later, I acquired a second hand example; now here's the surprise....

I bought my first Audix i-5 for use on snare and guitar cabinet, mainly as an alternative to my SM57s; but then one night, at a rehearsal, I set it up to sing through. My band does a fair bit of rock and I use my pharyngeal range almost exclusively. Using that system requires one to "compress" his voice, which I find pulls back the volume a little; but by using a "close-capsule" microphone (like the SM57) the singer can engage closer to the diaphragm; when I discovered this, I stopped using SM58s. When using the Audix as a vocal microphone, the "popping" problem, caused by proximity, can be avoided simply by high-passing the vocal somewhere in the 80 Hz region, maybe 100 Hz. Now, in this band, I use this microphone all of the time. I have occasionally switched to a '57 because the results are similar, but I find the Audix is more forgiving if I move off-axis.

So what about the comparison between the Audix and the Shure?

Many people have written about which they prefer and I think it's a pointless discussion. Both mics are great mics in the studio or for live. I think the Shure is the benchmark; and if we think of it that way, then the Audix has a gentle scoop when one A-Bs the two mics. Personally I like both mics and I wouldn't want to be without either type. After owning my first i-5 for a couple of months, I bought a brand-new one from Thomann, with some vouchers I needed to spend.

This weekend I recorded a vocalist and we did a text-book microphone shootout to find out which mic he should use for his lead vocal. We eventually plumped for a Rode condenser but the Audix wasn't far behind and it would have turned in a great result if it were the only mic available. That's quite amazing, since it's not considered a vocal mic for the studio by many people.

If you need an all-rounder, that's built to last a lifetime and you want an extra flavour on top of a '57, buy yourself an Audix i-5, you will not regret it; and rock vocalists might be in for an extra surprise. This would be a great starter mic for anyone into home recording because it will do everything.

Likely uses: guitar cab, bass cab and snare

Surprise uses: vocals, toms, acoustic guitar (close up)

I like: everything about this microphone

I do not like: there is nothing I do not like about it
