## Description

Matched pair of 1/2-inch gold-sputtered cardioid condenser mics with low noise and full frequency response, ideal for recording acoustic instruments, choirs, and more.

Review: Perfect for gongs! - After a lot of research and ‘trial and error’ process I found these brilliant microphones that can capture the sound of an istrument that’s one of the hardest to record: gong! I tried other makes and types none of those were as good as these! They have a wide frequency response which is a must when recording gongs. I have these 2 connected to a mixer in a home studio environment. The gain needs slight adjustment on the mixer when taking the sound higher by a crescendo during gong playing in order to avoid clipping. I’m happy with these mics the sound quality is brilliant with no self noise.
Review: Great sound, price is a bonus - Using them as an overhead for drums, they comfortably capture all the qualities my ears do. They sound really good point blank, the price is a bonus. Comes with a little booklet that I thought would be a nice touch for a beginner as well. Great all round pair, would absolutely recommend. (Final thought they really do sound like little siblings to NT5's, but they do a very similar level of job there.)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How well would these work in video production?**
A: It would depend upon what you intend to shoot.  The best uses for the microphones would include things such as choral or acoustic music in a controlled environment.  If you intend to capture ambient or general sound such as machinery, ocean waves, dogs barking, cars driving by, these would be quite sufficient.  If you intent to capture dialogue, I would suggest either a worn mic, a handheld mic (if you don't mind it being in the shot), or a shotgun mic (with or without a handheld boom).  For the M5s to work well for dialogue, they would need to be so close to the speaker that they would necessarily be in the shot on a stand as these cannot be handheld without serious handling noise.  You would need something much more directional to get decent sounding speech.These microphones arranged properly basically pick up the same sounds that our ears do in real space--but that doesn't always quite work for video.  In real life, our brains do a fantastic trick of filtering out all of the background or unwanted sounds so that we can zero in on what we are trying to hear.  Video confuses that process in our brains, so we have to take a different tact.  We have to capture sound that actually isn't perfectly true to life, but makes it seem that way when we watch the video.I don't intend to be patronizing with this response; I just want you to get what you really want.

**Q: I do not and have never had something to records with. If i were to buy these mics what else would I need to record. Like cables and equipment?**
A: To record with these mics, you would need two balanced XLR cables.  You would also need some sort of pre-amp into which to plug them which is capable of supplying phantom power.  You would also need a recording device.  Many recording devices include preamps and phantom power so that you can run the XLR cable directly into the recorder.  As a baseline for a quality recording device, consider something like the Zoom F4 or the Sound Devices MixPre3 or MixPre3M.  Zoom also makes less expensive devices, but the preamps really lack in quality by comparison.

**Q: Would these sound great as audience mics?**
A: I think they would do quite well.  They are fairly bright, but for applause, laughter and audience pick-up they would probably be great.

**Q: can they be used for asmr making？Are they Binaural Microphone？**
A: These are not binaural microphones; however they could be use as part of a binaural rig if you have a dummy head or some other similar apparatus in which to mount them that would mimic the spacing and shape of human ears.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little instrument mic
*by J***T on 27 March 2020*

I have used these in multiple scenarios ranging from acoustic guitar, drums and Piano (ORTF) recordings and find them to be neutral with a little top end brightness. Work great with the Rode stereo bar and are light enough to avoid stand sag when mounting on a long boom. Not quite a good or as flexible as the Rode NT5 (which offers different capsules and pickup patterns) and you might not use it for major productions, but this is an incredibly useful matched pair that can be used in a lot of different situations.
