M5 MP : Universal pen mics

8 years ago

I bought them for home studio, recording strings, grand piano, and for job "outside of studio".

Yep, these are not the best sounding small diaphragm mics, but for that price...

I often record some events on outside, in classic consert halls, or overheads for drums. I need well and true sounding mics, not expensive. When I take it with me, I don't afraid of some issues, like falling down, breaking, or something like that. Because they are strong made, lightweight and cheap.

But, wherein, sounding amazing in this class.

On my opinion, thes sound more soft, than Rode NT5.

Pros:

- Well known, respectable Australian manufacturer, giving extended warranty.

- Price.

- True open sound.

Cons:

- Weak bass response

Good, well sounding, stereopair. Nothing extra. Universal mics.
