Great on vocals and acoustic instruments
The VX-5's high SPL handling (at least 140dB without distortion) makes it a great choice on instruments other than vocals. You can use it as a top-notch drum overhead mic, or use it on brass, woodwinds, hi-hat, percussion toys, and more.
Sleek-looking microphone
While it's true that sound is paramount in the live sound arena, looking great doesn't hurt either - and in that department the VX-5 also delivers. It features a 14mm gold vapor diaphragm, an acoustically ported steel mesh grill screen, and a long, slim body with an elegant black satin finish. Give your stage or studio a fresh look with the Audix VX-5.
