Well made and solid. Comes with a very thin pop filter built in. Slightly brighter than an SM57. Great all round mic

I use this in large settings for my snare drum or my vocals. Both uses work great! Highly recommend for drummers of all skill level.

Sound better than the Shure 58 and 57. Amazing pick-up. Audix is affordable, practical, and just all out amazing. Can't beat the quality and durability for the price.

Es un buen micrófono, es más corto que la mayoría de dinámicos por lo que se puede acomodar bastante bien en un tambor o amplificador de guitarra.La respuesta de frecuencia le da un carácter moder y casi "pre ecualizado" por lo que en eventos en vivo es muy útil

Nutze das Audix i-5 um sowohl Haupt- als auch Sidesnare abzunehmen. Das Mikrofon leistet das was es soll. Für den Preis unschlagbar. Sehr zu empfehlen.

I read the reviews about how this mic works better representing a snare drum than the Shure SM-57 (what I was using). I have to agree. The difference is subtle but in live situations and in the studio, it seems to let that extra pop come through. Live it's hard for me to tell but without warning them, my bandmates commented the first time I used it, how much better they "felt" the snare than before. Plus this was a tremendous deal. I saw just the Audix I-5 mic for sale for $95 on Amazon but got it from this seller for $99 including an XLR cable and boom mic stand which would normally be an additional 30-40 bucks). Hard to beat that.

I bought this mic which rivaled the SM-57 due to a shoot out comparing the mics when used with a guitar amplifier. This microphone is great for my amplifier. It is also pretty good for vocals but you must be pretty close to it or turn up the gain a lot. In other words you should have this directly in front of your mouth if you want the best sound. I use an IO2 to record and this mic can pick up a ton of sound with high gain on. I tested this briefly on my djembe and I highly recommend having drum stands when recording with this to hold them steady. The mid an treble response are excellent but I think the bass could be a bit better, with a simple eq and some easy editing it should be fine. The sound is very accurate to real life which was one reason I chose it.The stand is also excellent and is full sized it is a boom like in the picture and works great for micing almost everyting, the cable is also pretty great, however it is a bit longer than I expected which is no problem.

Make no mistake, this is a professional quality microphone for recording a wide range of instruments from acoustic guitars, to guitar amp cabs, to snare drums. I just wish the rest of my equipment was as good to realize the full potential of this mic. You definitely want to get a good preamp and computer interface or mixing board to do home recordings. Most places sell just the mic for $99, here you also get a great stand which someone would probably want to charge you an arm and a leg for, included in the deal. The stand is great too, it's sturdy, rugged and great for recording guitar cabs as it is very versatile too. I don't see how you can hesitate on this deal. Get This!

My friend recommended I buy the Audix I5, he said it was his favorite mic for live performance (he's a drummer). I bought one for my home studio and micd everything from an acoustic guitar to a tamborine and this mic is amazing for the price. With the SM-57 and 58 setting the gold standard this is a notch above. Which is why I bought another one with this package. I paid $99 for the mic alone at a local retailer. I paid the same here and got a really good samson mic stand AND a cable! Talk about getting hooked up. Although the I-5 is pretty good for live vocal performance, I wouldn't use it in a recording situation. As for micing cabs and drums this is a great mic for the price. They're pretty rugged and sound fantastic.
