M5 MP : Great value small condenser mic set

8 years ago

When I saw the price of this pair of small diaphragm condenser mics I was a little skeptical that they might be rubbish. I was wrong! These are very good quality mics and for the money very well worth it. I was somewhat shocked by the actual size of them - they're tiny but they are very effective and offer a good quality sound (at least on acoustic instruments). I used them on a harp to capture a stereo image and I couldn't be more happy. In an ideal world I'd love to have a dozen Neumann's at hand however that's beyond my budget. As a very happy compromise I have been adding in different mics to cater for a number of recording applications and on my most recent project, these came in and worked perfectly. I'm considering buying another pair as I think they're extremely versatile for my uses and so affordable.
