The Rode M5 SP does not come with a nice carrying box like some competitors. There you go, the only bad thing I could find with my new purchase. As far as their sound, very nice for this price, little self noise, good response across the range, and very clear. I have tried them in a wide variety of circumstances and they just work. 2 people found this helpful

Using them as an overhead for drums, they comfortably capture all the qualities my ears do. They sound really good point blank, the price is a bonus. Comes with a little booklet that I thought would be a nice touch for a beginner as well. Great all round pair, would absolutely recommend. (Final thought they really do sound like little siblings to NT5’s, but they do a very similar level of job there.) 2 people found this helpful

Great sound quality Easy to connect to Apple products Did have a problem with the first ones that arrived where connect them while in the case then take them out they disconnected but Gadget Tree sent a new one out and works great Comfy to wear sturdy and great design

I’ve owned a matched pair of NT55s before which I chose to sell to buy a LDC and always regretted as cheaper SDCs never came close (especially where it came to noise) UNTIL I got these M5s. Not as flat a sound to my ears – brighter than I remember the NT55s being but for acoustic guitars that’s welcome for me. They certainly sound like mics with a character to add more colour than perhaps the NT55s would. Given the price comparison being these are roughly a THIRD pretty amazing and just blow all the cheaper SDCs I’ve tried (AKG Perception, Samson et al) out of the water. 11 people found this helpful

I have used these in multiple scenarios ranging from acoustic guitar, drums and Piano (ORTF) recordings and find them to be neutral with a little top end brightness. Work great with the Rode stereo bar and are light enough to avoid stand sag when mounting on a long boom. Not quite a good or as flexible as the Rode NT5 (which offers different capsules and pickup patterns) and you might not use it for major productions, but this is an incredibly useful matched pair that can be used in a lot of different situations.

Very happy with these for the most part. Cardoid capsules great for acoustic guitar and drum overheads which is what I imagine most people will be buying this for. Omni capsule is good but not amazing. Doesn’t compare to a mic such as the 4006 but it does an excellent job while being in this price range. Build quality of the pre is great – surprisingly (and unnecessarily) heavy as are a lot of Rode mics. Case is ok but doesn’t have a specific place to hold capsules so I have been storing them in the wind shield so as to not get dust on the connector.

After a lot of research and ‘trial and error’ process I found these brilliant microphones that can capture the sound of an istrument that’s one of the hardest to record: gong! I tried other makes and types none of those were as good as these! They have a wide frequency response which is a must when recording gongs. I have these 2 connected to a mixer in a home studio environment. The gain needs slight adjustment on the mixer when taking the sound higher by a crescendo during gong playing in order to avoid clipping. I’m happy with these mics the sound quality is brilliant with no self noise. 3 people found this helpful
