Designed and manufactured in Australia, the M5 is a compact, 1/2” cardioid condenser microphone with low noise and a full bandwidth. Drawing on experience gained with the award-winning NT5 microphone, RØDE has created an excellent permanently polarized pencil condenser microphone that will impress even the most discerning artists and sound engineers. Ideal for studio and stage use, the M5 excels with acoustic instruments, choirs, and anywhere else you would traditionally use a small-diaphragm condenser microphone, in mono or stereo. Each matched pair is carefully selected to ensure a sensitivity variation of no more than 1dB between the mics. Each pair comes with a certificate confirming the pair's authenticity. The M5 features RØDE's special ceramic coating in matte black. Two WS5 windscreens and two RM5 stand mounts are included with the pair. • 1/2” capsule with diaphragm Gold plated • Cardioid polar pattern • All metal body • Extremely low self-noise • Advanced surface-mounted electronics • Comes with mic clips and windscreens.
