Rode RØDE M5 Matched Pair - Small-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphones

Rode RØDE M5 Matched Pair are small-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphones designed for studio and stage recording, offering consistent performance across a wide frequency range. With a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz, a maximum SPL of 140 dB, and a dynamic range of 121 dB, they capture detailed audio from quiet vocals to loud instruments without distortion. The cardioid polar pattern focuses on sound sources directly in front while reducing background noise, and the balanced XLR output ensures clean signal transmission with phantom power compatibility (P24/P48). Each microphone weighs just 80g and measures 100mm in height, making them easy to position for stereo recording or miking drums, acoustic guitars, and overheads. The matched pair ensures tonal consistency between units, critical for accurate stereo imaging and reliable results in professional recording environments.
