Try both and see which one you like best, it is a matter of taste. I would put both on and record each mic to its own track and blend them later.

Used 57's for ever. Then when the 906 came out I made the switch. Just seemed more alive.

If it's the 906 then I vote 906. If it's the 609 then I vote 57.

though blending a 609 with an audix i5 is nice

btw my vote is for audix i5

 

[Guitargodgt]

I have the i5 as well.

Honestly all these mics are different, but I don't care for my 609 because it doesn't seem as directional as the 57 or i5.

I just recently got an i5 and I'm liking it a lot on loud ass guitar cabs. I find it a lot like the 57 but a little mellower in the upper mids.

Acoustic guitar or amplified electric?
