Audix i5 Dynamic Instrument Microphone
The Audix i5 is a versatile dynamic microphone engineered to capture punchy, articulate instrument recordings with impressive clarity and presence. Built on a robust precision cast zinc alloy body with dent-resistant steel grill, it delivers reliable performance session after session. Its tight cardioid pickup pattern isolates your source effectively, reducing bleed in multitrack recording while maintaining focused midrange detail—essential for layering drums, amps, and brass in dense arrangements. The forgiving proximity effect lets you position close for intimate character or pull back for fuller tonality without losing definition.
Recording & Mix Integration
The 50 Hz – 16 kHz frequency response provides smooth, characterful reproduction across drums, guitar and bass amplifiers, and brass instruments, sitting naturally in most mixes. Rated to handle sound pressure levels in excess of 140 dB without distortion, this microphone captures hard-hit drums and cranked amps with exceptional headroom, giving you clean, undistorted tracks that integrate seamlessly into your final mix.
Durability & Studio Workflow
The durable black E-coat finish and gold-plated XLR connector ensure reliable signal transfer and longevity through intensive studio use. The gold-plated XLR connector resists corrosion and maintains clean signal path, while the included MC1 mic clip and P1 carrying pouch streamline mic placement and storage between takes.
