Designed and made in Australia, the M5 is a compact 1/2" cardioid condenser microphone with low self-noise and full-range sensitivity. Years of experience building the award-winning NT5 have helped RØDE create a successful high-quality "pencil" style permanently polarised condenser that impresses even demanding artists and engineers. Ideal for both studio recording and live use. The M5 suits acoustic instruments, choirs and any other situation where a small-diaphragm condenser microphone is appropriate, either individually or as a stereo pair. To ensure a maximum sensitivity variation of 1dB between the microphones, the capsules are hand-selected. The M5 is finished in RØDE's patented ceramic coating with a matte black finish. WS5 windshields and RM5 stand mounts are included.
