Reviews
“Given their attractive price the level of performance and that enticingly long warranty there’s little not to like about the M5s” – Paul White – Sound On Sound
“The M5s are a perfectly sound matched stereo pair of microphones that would make a decent addition to anyones audio armoury”. – Stephen Bennett – Audio Media
“If you are running to compare these specs to RØDE’s well known NT5 pencil condenser the nutshell version is that the M5 has a higher noise floor and is a tad less sensitive… but it’s also half the price of the NT5 and in my tests neither of these slightly lower specs was an issue.” – Paul Vnuk Jr. – Recording Magazine
