The M5 is a compact 1/2" cardioid condenser microphone with low noise and a full frequency response. A result of many years’ experience building the award-winning NT5 microphone, RØDE has succeeded in making a high-quality ‘pencil’ style permanently polarized condenser that will impress even the most demanding of artists and engineers. Ideal for studio recording and live on stage, the M5 is equally at home on a range of acoustic instruments, choirs, or anywhere you would employ a small diaphragm condenser microphone, either individually or as a stereo array. This matched pair has been carefully selected to ensure a variation of no more than 1dB sensitivity between the microphones. The M5 is finished with RØDE’s proprietary ceramic coating which offers a sleek matte black finish, and is supplied with WS5 windshields and RM5 stand mounts. A premium foiled certificate is supplied to verify the authenticity of the pair.Features1/2" capsule with gold-plated membraneCardioid polar patternAll-metal body with state-of-the-art surface-mount electronicsIncludes clips and windshieldsUltra-low noiseSpecificationsAcoustic Principle: Pressure GradientActive Electronics: JFET impedance converter with bipolar output bufferCapsule: 0.50"Polar Pattern: CardioidAddress Type: EndFrequency Range: 20Hz - 20kHzOutput Impedance: 200 ohmsMaximum SPL: 140dB SPL (@ 1kHz, 1% THD into 1KO load)Maximum Output Level: 13.5dBu (@ 1kHz, 1% THD into 1KO load)Sensitivity: -34.0dB re 1 Volt/Pascal (10.46mV @ 94 dB SPL) +/- 2 dB @ 1kHzEquivalent Noise Level (A-weighted); 19dB-APower Options: +48V phantom power+24V phantom powerWeight: 80.00gmDimensions: 3.94"(H) x .79(W) x .79"(D)Output: XLR Output Rode M5-MP Matched Pair of M5 Small-Diaphragm Condenser Microphones.
