Audix i5 Multi-purpose Dynamic Microphone

Versatile Dynamic Mic for Instruments, Vocals, and Live Sound

The Audix i5 is a rugged, multi-purpose dynamic microphone engineered to deliver clear and accurate sound across a wide range of applications. Featuring a cardioid pickup pattern and a VLM (Very Low Mass) diaphragm, the i5 offers excellent isolation, feedback control, and the ability to handle sound pressure levels exceeding 140 dB without distortion. Whether you’re capturing the crack of a snare drum, the tone of a guitar cabinet, or delivering live vocals, the i5 ensures natural, detailed reproduction without excessive EQ.

This mic is suitable for use in stage, studio, and broadcast settings, and its robust design makes it ideal for daily use in demanding environments. Precision-built with a cast zinc alloy body and steel mesh grill, the i5 is designed, assembled, and tested in the USA, and it comes backed by a 5-year warranty for added peace of mind.

The i5 is compact and easy to position, and its superior off-axis rejection and high gain-before-feedback make it a staple tool for professionals looking for reliable performance and flexibility in one mic.
