M5 MP : Good small pencil mic

8 years ago

Rode house is sound has been a bit too bright /harsh to my ears, but not with the M5. Quite smooth and versatile small diaphragm mic. Not the best performer in the resolution but at this price smokes many more expensive mics.

Works well as OH and acoustic guitar mic and I have been using one in parallel with more conventional SM57 and e609 in front of a guitar cab. Have recorded even one vocal track with M5.

Really nice allrounder for the price, and good overall quality mic when paired with decent pre.
