M5 MP : Wow

10 years ago

I am totally satisfied with the results I achieved using this pair of small diaphragm condensers. I am using them mostly to record strings instruments ( violin, viola, cello and an Egyptian Kanoon until now ). The sound is accurate, warm and natural. They look like they are built to last and for this price is a real bargain.

As a fun fact, I asked the cellist who I recorded for an estimative price and he said...around 500 ? for each at least :)

I was surprised to see they come with their own mounting clams and windscreen, which is not much but adds to the value. You just have a hard time fitting it to those clips but once they're in place, they are very stable.
