The Audix Limited Edition Silver i5 is the same as the original Audix i5. I have used both models and they are exactly the same, the only difference is that this Audix Limited Edition i5 is silver and the other Audix i5 was black. The Audix Limited Edition i5 is a dynamic microphone that is made for recording instruments and not vocals. It is one of the most affordable instrument microphones that have been released in the last year and it is one of the only ones that are actually worth purchasing. I play the saxophone from time to time and I was looking for a instrument microphone that could be dedicated to just recording my saxophone. I found a bunch of different microphones and even when to the store and tested some. The only issue was most of them were out of my price range. The Audix Limited Edition i5 was a perfect fit for me because it was only 100 dollars. I was not sure how it was going to sound at first but for 100 dollars it was worth a shot.

OVERALL OPINION

The Audix Limited Edition i5 has a frequency response of 50Hz-16 kHz and an impedence of 150 oHms. You can use th Audix Limited Edition i5 for studio records and for live shows although I would stay away from using it for live shows because it tends to pick every single noise up around it.

The Audix Limited Edition i5 itself feels good and seems well built to be a 100 dollar microphone. I have only been using this microphone for 4 months now and if it holds up good I will purchase another one. It comes with a stand holder and a soft case to carry it in. This microphone is at its’ best when used with wind instruments. I don’t think it sounded as good with guitars.
