Røde M5 small-diaphragm condenser microphonesSwiftly following the recent announcement of their new NT1 microphone, Røde are back with a brand new small-diaphragm electret condenser, called the M5.
Drawing inspiration from the NT5, the M5 and is intended for use in the studio, location and live sound recording. Each M5 features a half-inch cardioid capsule, and will be sold in acoustically-matched pairs for 169 including VAT.
Designed and manufactured in Australia, the M5s have a flat frequency response between 40Hz and 2kHz and a smooth 2dB boost peaking between 7 and 8 kHz. The matched pairs of mics are selected so that variations in sensitivity between mics are no greater than 1dB.
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.
Røde’s Global Marketing & Sales Director, Damien Wilson, commented: “The NT5 has consistently been one of our most praised and best-selling microphones since its release almost ten years ago. As pencil condensers go it is in my opinion one of the very best in the world, however we recognised that a lot of artists want to use a Røde small diaphragm condenser microphone but doesn’t require the superlative dynamics and versatile capsule interchange found on the NT5. The new M5 offers them an incredible sounding microphone that represents great value.”
Keep an eye out for a review of the M5 pencil microphones from Editor-in-Chief Paul White in the pages of SOS soon.
