The M5 is a studio quality half-inch condenser microphone,
designed for highly detailed sound reproduction. It features a
cardioid polar pattern and end address design, meaning that it will
pick up sound directed into the end of the microphone, and reject
sound from the rear of the mic.
This pickup pattern allows for recording of the desired sound
source while reducing the level of other surrounding instruments,
noises or sound sources.
The M5 is not only ideal for recording music, but is a fantastic
microphone for environmental recordings and indoor dialogue on
fi lm sets.
The enclosed pair has been hand-picked by RØDE’s audio
engineering team to be acoustically matched to ensure perfect
compatibility when used in stereo confi gurations.
