Good mic

High quality compared to the price

Great mic, great value

I bought this mic hoping to upgrade from my trusty Beta 58, and I was blown away at the improvement. Vocals are smooth, full and punchy, with a less pronounced proximity effect and much better off-axis rejection resulting in less feedback than the Beta on stage. All in all a better mic at roughly the same price.

powerful but.

A little heavy on the lower mid, not much 's' or 't',but plenty good when eq'd a little. I prefer the t'bone beta condenser mic, with 's' and 't' and not so much lower mid and 1/2 the cost.

I recorded the same song in my studio using one mic,then the other both on flat eq.

Just a little eq and both mics sound the same both the same gain too.

My wife sings some, but tends to leave her mic "anywhere" so the rode on/off switch saves a lot of problems. A pretty good mic really.

It'll get plenty of use this summer.

Simply Excellent

Fully met expectations. Just had once an issue to explain to sound engineer that I need +48V Phantom power. Presume he was confused by look of mic (like dynamic)

Low-quality

Excellent superior sound, lower quality build from inside. The membrane holders broke after a few months of singing.

Membrane holders are his only weak spot, my friend by the same microphone at my recommendation and the same happens to his microphone, after few month of use.

The Rode M2 rocks!

I'm using this for live sound/recording applications. It gives a nice and crisp sound that required little editing thankfully. This saved me time and money. I have nothing to complain about. Really.

Really Good value for money

I watched a lot of video review about condenser mics and I finally find one that can fulfil my requirement. I used the mic for recording VO and it performs really well. The mic controls the room sound very well and it is not overwhelming the recording. The frequency response is similar to the curve provided by the manufacturer except the tiny bit of unpleasing high mid harmonics boost. The airiness added by the mic is good especially for vocals. With this price, the mic is above my expectation !!

Prefer this than 58

I have used Shure 58 but I prefer this mic than 58. Condencer makes this mic sound more senstive to me. Great for this price.
