Dynamic Instrument Microphone for Snare and Percussion
The Audix f5 Fusion Series dynamic instrument microphone is designed to deliver focused, punchy sound for snare drums, percussion, and amplifier cabinets. Built for both live sound and recording environments, this microphone provides dependable performance for musicians and engineers who need clear attack and controlled pickup in demanding setups.
Hypercardioid Pickup for Stage Isolation
Featuring a hypercardioid polar pattern, the f5 concentrates on the sound source directly in front of the capsule while strongly rejecting sound from the sides and rear. This tight directional response helps reduce bleed from nearby instruments and minimizes feedback, making it a strong choice for crowded stages, drum kits, and rehearsal spaces.
Tailored Frequency Response for Impact and Clarity
The f5 is voiced with a frequency response of 55 Hz to 15 kHz, emphasizing upper midrange presence where snare drums and percussion naturally cut through a mix. This tuning delivers crisp attack and definition without excessive low-end buildup, helping drums and instruments remain articulate in both live and studio mixes.
Dynamic Transducer for High SPL Performance
Equipped with a dynamic moving-coil element, the f5 handles high sound pressure levels with ease. This makes it suitable for close-miking snare drums, bongos, timbales, guitar cabinets, and other loud acoustic sources without distortion, even during aggressive playing.
Versatile Tool for Stage and Studio Applications
Beyond snare drums, the f5 adapts well to a variety of instruments, including percussion, acoustic instruments, and amplifier cabinets. Its compact design and focused pickup make it useful for sound reinforcement, home recording, rehearsal rooms, schools, and houses of worship.
Durable Construction for Everyday Use
Built with a rugged metal body, the f5 is made to withstand frequent setup, teardown, and transport. Its durable design ensures reliable performance for touring musicians, production companies, and venues that require consistent results night after night.
