Rode M2 Live Performance Condenser Microphone

The M2 is a handheld condenser microphone built for live vocals. Its 1/2 inch condenser capsule brings the detail and presence a stage dynamic cannot, while a tailored supercardioid pattern keeps the focus tight on the singer and rejects spill from monitors and the rest of the band to help control feedback.

The capsule is internally shock mounted to keep handling noise down, and the all-metal body stands up to touring. An integrated on/off switch with a locking screw lets an engineer disable the switch when the mic needs to stay live. It ships with an RM1 stand mount and a ZP1 zip pouch and is backed by a 10-year warranty.
