Seriously Versatile: Audix f5

Want a mic that you can grab, place on on almost anything (including vocals), and get great results? The Audix f5 is just such a mic. With its low-mass diaphragm, the f5 gives you precise, natural sound. Its 137dB SPL capability and hypercardioid pickup pattern make it a perfect choice for snare drum or toms, capturing the full dynamics with excellent off-axis rejection. The f5 is awesome on percussion instruments, but then again, it excels at anything you throw its way - including guitar and bass cabs, brass, and even acoustic instruments, vocals, and speech!

The f5's roadworthy build - typical of the Audix Fusion Series - includes a precision cast zinc alloy body, steel mesh grill, and an attractive black coat finish that'll stand up to life on the road. This Audix f5 is a seriously versatile studio and stage workhorse that belongs in every engineer's toolkit.

Rated 5/5

Excellent mics

I recorded both full range music and snare on this mic and compared it to my I5 and other mics. Bottom line, this mic has great dynamics, a nice pre-eq for instruments and low distortion.

Highly recommended for a dynamic mic.
Music background: Experienced in performance and recording

Getting the most for the money isn't just a big deal for our customers, it's also what the artists and engineers at Sweetwater look for when we're shopping for our own gear. That's why we're such fans of Audix microphones. Early on, we discovered must-have Audix mics such as the handheld OM2, the tight and punchy D6 kick mic, and the super-versatile i5. You'll also find Audix specialty hardware like CabGrabbers and D-Vice mic holders in our studios and live rigs. Their drum mic bundles offer amazing value, while our house of worship customers love their MicroBoom line for miking choirs. No matter the application, Sweetwater is happy to recommend the right Audix gear for your needs.
