    • Affordable & High Quality
Style: Microphone
Review Image by Javier Rodriguez Javier Rodriguez
The RODE M5 Matched Pair microphones are incredible for their price. As a beginner in audio technology, I was hesitant about the cost of other options, but I have no regrets about these. Paired with the Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen, they deliver stunning clarity and precision. I use them to record my Yamaha U1 upright piano, and the sound quality is exceptional. They capture every nuance, from deep bass to treble, bringing my recordings to life. Highly recommended for anyone looking for affordable, high-quality microphones! Note: purchase comes only with the paired microphones, foam cover, and swivel mounts. Be sure to buy your own XLR cables and microphone stands! ... show more

    • Audio Quality is great for a great price!
Style: Microphone
For these microphones, I really enjoyed using them to record my recital. They were very solid and made the recording process very easy. For setting up and tearing down, these mics were great to fit in my backpack and even be transported to and from venues. For instruments, it picks up a wonderful sound, especially with the SSL that I have. ... show more

    • New Favorite Microphone Set
Style: Microphone
I got these as part of my mobile recording set up for a lot of choir stuff that I do for work. Not only do they have fabulous sound quality, but they’re also super tough and feel solid and robust. Solid microphones, certainly worth the investment because you’ll have these for the next 10 years if you treat them right. ... show more

    • Exactly what we needed
Style: Microphone
Since the outbreak of the pandemic our congregation has been worshiping via Zoom. Once we returned to our building, we chose to continue to include those who remained homebound to join us via that technology. However, our choir...which sounded fine to those gathered in the sanctuary...could not be heard at all. We purchased the Rode M5 Matched Pair mics in an attempt to solve that problem. When asked how it all sounded to those worshiping at home the universal reply was "Amazing!" We are most pleased. The mics look good, can easily be configured in different ways depending on choir size and location, and obviously transmit crisp and clear sound...even when using our rather old sound board and unique Zooming connection. These mics are exactly what we needed. ... show more

    • Great Value
Style: Microphone
I'm using these as overheads on my drum kit. I'm really impressed with the frequency response and crispness. So far, the recordings I've made have sounded fantastic, without any compression or limiting, and minimal frequency sculpting. Yes, I would buy these again.

    • Solid construction, good performance
Style: Microphone
We're using these to mic a medium-size auditorium (~375 seats) to pick up the house sound during corporate singing. They work very well for this purpose, and have greatly improved the audio quality on our livestream. The mics did have a buzz, probably a 60Hz from being too close to a power cable somewhere in the wire routing, but I put both cables through a ferrite core and that knocked it out. Elna Magnetics P/N 0431176451 or 0431177081 should do the trick if you need one. ... show more

    • Affordable High Quality Microphones!
Style: Microphone
I've owned a few RODE microphones over the years and have appreciated that RODE has been a pioneer in manufacturing microphones that home studio enthusiasts can afford while still bringing quality products that continue to be manufactured in Australia rather than the dime a dozen mic factories of the far east. The M5's are a great value at $200/pair, sound very neutral, slightly warm, without the shrill high end that is apparent in many inexpensive microphones. I'm using them primarily to mic acoustic guitar in stereo and they sound phenomenal! Very clear and detailed, don't require too much mic preamp gain, and give a very honest and articulate representation of the source. These are a pair of microphones you can keep in your studio for a very long time, and with the 10 Year Warranty provided by RODE, it's peace of mind to know the company will stand behind their product. Cheers, Theo ... show more

    • Well Made and Sturdy. These Sound Great

Review Image by Jeremy Crockett Jeremy Crockett
I have never heard of RØDE microphones before, but now I am glad that I did! They are "bright" sounding and perfect for over-head mic-ing of cymbals (which is what I am using them for). I can easily recommend them to anyone looking for a reasonably priced pair of overheads.
