Audix i-5 - Microfone Cardióide Dinâmico para Instrumentos

Comments about Audix i5 Dynamic Instrument Cardioid Microphone:

I first came across the i5 on a snare at a venue that was helping out. I was not familiar with the item, but came to appreciate how it gave the snare (which was a pretty mediocre snare drum) good snap, allowing it cut through the mix.

So now I'm calling the shots at another venue and after listening to a snare through an SM57 for 3 months, have gone back again to the i5.

Is the i5 idea, or something I would use in my studio? Probably not for this use. But, the purposes are different. I'm doing contemporary music where i need the snare to sound almost piccolo snare-like, which this mic gives me.

Plus the darn thing is tough as nails. I have (and will) buy more.

A great multi-purpose dynamic mic, I use this small-sized, big-sounding tool for instruments and vocals alike. It obviously excels on the snare drum and on guitar cabinets, but I like the sound I get from it on various percussion, brass and lower-toned woodwind instruments. It doesn't have the shrill high-end crispness of a condenser, but you don't always need that. Overall, it sounds clean and strong, and adeptly resists feedback.
