More Audix i5 love - brown MP3 attached.

[EtherForBreakfast]

Just for more props on the i5.

Warning - this is NOT a numetal/5150/scoopy mid/chunko tune.. It's just ballz out mid heavy brown Marshall with a fairly gay riff.. I happen to LIKE this sound - in addition to also being a hardcore, longtime blackmetal/deathmetal fan as well... I love to throw down on my Engls and shit too but the Marshall is just a signature sound.

This is the i5 with nothing else... it IS an SM57 slayer, for sure. And please dont mind the drums.. they are throwaway GM acting as click until I bust out with DFHS.

It seems like the i5 is a lot more present in the low end than the trusty 57. Great work, I'm really liking this mic so far.

yup the consensus on the net seems to be just that - an SM57 with more low end... But I still love my SM57 make no mistake though the audix is surely a GREAT mic. better than the e609 IMO, the latter being too scooped sounding.

cool riff btw, groovy. dunno if it's yours though

I picked up an i5 and a D6 here in San Fran yesterday to try out on a session when I get back to the UK, I tried it out in the store on snare and for the price (I got mine for $80) I think the i5 is a great addition to any mic cabinet.

The i5 just has a larger, more pronounced "proximity effect" than the 57 does - which yeilds bigger lows. However, you dont want a ton of lows in a guitar.. I cut everything from 80hz and down.. that's where bass goes.

In any event, the i5 to ME, just mauls the 57 for guitar cabs.
