M5 MP : Great Value for Money

9 years ago

Bought these as a throw around pair for a small wedding band that I have. Primarily being used as drum OHs.

Needed something a bit higher quality than bottom end but not too expensive and these seemed to be the pair for me.

The quality of the mic is fantastic. Nice weight and a good size. comes with the clips and wind protectors. So far they work great and are putting up with my abuse.

I won't go into reviewing the sound as its very subjective but would recommend checking the RODE YouTube account. Great videos on there, basically that is what made me buy these.

The only downside is that I wish they came with a little bag or wallet to keep them together and safe. I currently take around the box they came in. However I have another foam mic box, so i think i will cut out a little slot in the foam for them to live in.

Apart from that a very usable pair of pencil mics.
