RODE M5 Matched Pair
Compact 1/2" Condenser Microphone
Overview
Designed and made in Australia, the M5 is a compact ½” cardioid condenser
microphone with low noise and a full frequency response. A result of many
years’ experience building the award-winning NT5 microphone, RØDE has succeeded
in making a high-quality ‘pencil’ style permanently polarized condenser that
will impress even the most demanding of artists and engineers. Ideal for studio
recording and live on stage, the M5 is equally at home on a range of acoustic
instruments, choirs, or anywhere you would employ a small diaphragm condenser
microphone, either individually or as a stereo array. This matched pair has
been carefully selected to ensure a variation of no more than 1dB sensitivity
between the microphones. A premium foiled certificate is supplied to verify the
authenticity of the pair. The M5 is finished with RØDE’s proprietary ceramic
coating which offers a sleek matt black finish, and is supplied with WS5
windshields and RM5 stand mounts.
