RØDE M5 Matched Pair – precision-matched set of small-diaphragm condenser microphones designed for professional studio and live applications. Based on the renowned NT5, the M5 features a ½-inch cardioid capsule, low self-noise, and a smooth frequency response, making it an excellent choice for recording acoustic instruments, percussion, choirs, or as a stereo pair for overheads and ensembles.
Each M5 is finished in a durable black matte ceramic coating that resists scratches and handling wear. The matched pair is carefully selected to ensure minimal sensitivity deviation between microphones, guaranteeing balanced stereo imaging and accurate tonal consistency. The M5’s compact body and lightweight design make it ideal for discreet placement both on stage and in the studio.
The set includes two M5 microphones, two WS5 windshields, and two RM5 stand mounts, providing everything needed for high-quality stereo or dual-mono recording straight out of the box.
