The M5 is a high-quality matched pair of small-diaphragm condenser microphones designed for stunning performance in a wide range of recording applications in the studio or on stage. Featuring a 1/2-inch gold-sputtered cardioid condenser capsule with very low noise and a full frequency response, the M5 is equally at home on a range of acoustic instruments, choirs, or anywhere you would employ a small-diaphragm ('pencil') condenser microphone, either individually or in a stereo array. Each matched pair has been carefully selected to ensure a variation of no more than 1dB sensitivity between the microphones and is supplied with WS5 windshields and RM5 stand mounts.
