AngelCityOutlaw Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I am in dire need of a good dynamic microphone for recording my guitar amp cabinet(s). I know that the Sm57 is basically the standard, but I also recently saw a video where this guitar player also recommends the Audix i-5. Both sound great to my ears, but I am not sure which is the better buy and unfortunately, I have no way of just testing them out with my own amp(s). For guitar cabinets, which of the two would you recommend and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederic Petitpas Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I'm very pleased with my new SM57, it picks the right frequencies to mic. I don't know the Audix tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Audix i5 is basically identical in response to the SM57 but slightly cheaper. The player and the amp you're putting the microphone in front of is of far more consequence then the choice between those mics. Whats the cab budget?

AngelCityOutlaw Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 Thanks for the help guys! As for "cab budget"? Already have several different cabinets and amps to use! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
