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 anyone's 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
