Rode M5-MP Condenser Microphones (Matched Pair)

The M5 matched pair puts two compact half-inch condenser microphones in your kit, hand-selected so their sensitivity tracks within 1 dB of each other for tight, phase-coherent stereo. The gold-sputtered cardioid capsules capture a full, low-noise picture of acoustic guitar, piano, drum overheads, choirs, and room ambience.

Transformerless circuitry keeps self-noise low and the response even across the band, and both mics run on 24V or 48V phantom power over 3-pin XLR. The pair ships ready to work with two WS5 foam windscreens and two RM5 stand clips, backed by a 10-year warranty.
