Rode M5 Matched Pair - This is a pair of high-quality small diaphragm condenser microphones, designed for outstanding performance in a wide range of studio or live performance recording applications. Featuring a 1/2 inch gold-sputtered cardioid condenser capsule with very low noise and a full frequency response, the M5 is equally at home on a variety of acoustic instruments, choirs, or anywhere you would use a small diaphragm ('pencil') condenser microphone, whether individually or in a stereo array. Each matched pair has been carefully selected to ensure a sensitivity variation of no more than 1 dB between microphones and is supplied with WS5 windscreens and RM5 mounts.
