Audix F5 Instrument Microphone

Dynamic mic designed for a wide variety of musical instruments, cabinets, and vocals.




The all-purpose Audix f5 Fusion Series dynamic
instrument microphone is designed to mic a wide variety of musical
instruments, including snare, toms, percussion, guitar and bass
cabinets, brass, flute, and woodwinds, as well as vocals and speech.
Assembled and tested by Audix in the USA, the f5 is an ideal mic for
both stage and studio applications.

With a wide frequency
response of 55Hz-15kHz, the versatile Audix f5 mic provides clear,
accurate, natural sound reproduction without having to rely on EQ. The
f5 mic handles sound pressure levels in excess of 137dB without
distortion, which lets you mic anything from guitar and bass cabinets to
heavy brass with supreme confidence.

Sturdy, compact, and easy
to position, the f5's roadworthy construction includes a precision-cast
zinc-alloy body, black finish, laser etched model number, steel mesh
grill, gold XLR connector, and a tension-fit heavy-duty-nylon mic clip.

Using in Audix f5:
The
f5 has a tight (hypercardioid) pick-up pattern in order to help
eliminate sound from other instruments on stage from bleeding into the
microphone. For this reason, it the f5 is exceptionally effective for
drums and percussion in be able to capture the sound of each component
of the kit.

Snare:
Start with the f5 about 2
inches above the head and aimed towards the center of the drum. For
more "rim" effect, the f5 can be aimed less towards the center and more
towards the rim. It is not uncommon for engineers to place the mic
practically right on the drumhead to achieve a very tight, cracking
sensation.

Toms, congas:
Similar to snare.
For tighter sound and more attack place, the mic closer to the head. For
more decay and overtones pull the mic further away from the head.

Guitar cabs:

The
f5 can be placed within 1-2 inches of the grill cover at a 90° angle
pointing directly into the speaker. If the mic is placed closer to the
edge of the speaker, you will minimize the higher frequencies and get a
warmer, fatter tone. To capture more highs, move the mic closer towards
the center of the speaker, but avoid the middle of the speaker.

Horns:
Place
the mic within 1 - 2 inches of the bell, especially when on a stage
with drums, bass, guitar, etc. For jazz, classical, and music where the
stage volume is lower, the mic can be placed further away for a richer,
fuller, sound.

Operation:
The f5 is a low
impedance microphone and should be plugged into a mic-level input on
your console, mixer, or recording device. Please note that your
microphone does not require phantom power and will not be effected in
any way by phantom power should it be running simultaneously when the
microphone is in operation. Avoid plugging or unplugging the microphone
from the PA system unless the channel is muted or the volume of the
system turned down. Failure to do so may result in a loud popping noise,
which could seriously damage the speakers in the PA system.
