I-5 : Great alternative to SM57
I bought this microphone as a test how will it stand up against SM57 on recording snare, guitar amps or even vocals and toms.
I made a couple of recordings (Sonor snares, Marshall cabs and Fender combos) and I found that it has more open and natural top end than SM57. Maybe SM57 would be better on some other snare or guitar amp, but I think that i5 is a better sounding microphone. In aspect of sound rejection from sides and back, I think that SM57 is a little better.
It is well built, like SM57 but a little more attractive to look at (not that it matters very much, but still)
