Rode M5-MP Matched Pair Small-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphones with SB20 Stereo Bar - 19 dB-A XLR Pencil Mic Pair for Drum Overheads, Choir, Piano, and Acoustic Guitar Recording

MATCHED CARDIOID CONDENSER PAIR + STEREO BAR - TWO M5 MICROPHONES, ORTF AND XY ANGLES PRE-MARKED: Stereo recording needs more than a single mic - you need a matched pair so left and right track each other, plus a stereo bar with ORTF and XY angles already marked. This bundle pairs the Rode M5-MP factory-matched cardioid pair with the SB20 stereo bar. Drum overhead engineers, church choir teams, home studio recordists, and field recordists - mount the pair, start tracking stereo today. SMALL-DIAPHRAGM CARDIOID CONDENSER PAIR WITH FACTORY-MATCHED SENSITIVITY: Built for drum overhead engineers, church choir audio teams, acoustic guitarists, and piano recordists, the M5-MP delivers true stereo imaging through two microphones hand-selected within 1 dB sensitivity, a 1/2-inch gold-sputtered diaphragm shared with the NT5 platform, and the SB20 bar that mounts both on a single stand position. Plug in and record stereo. 1/2-INCH GOLD-SPUTTERED CARDIOID CAPSULE FOR DRUM OVERHEADS, CHOIR RECORDING, PIANO, AND ACOUSTIC GUITAR STEREO: The M5 capsule is a permanently polarized 1/2-inch end-address cardioid condenser - the same diaphragm platform Rode uses on the more expensive NT5. 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response captures the full overtone series on cymbals, acoustic strings, and piano without proximity boost. End-address geometry aims straight at the source. 19 dB-A SELF-NOISE AND 140 dB MAXIMUM SPL FOR CHOIR AND DRUM OVERHEAD APPLICATIONS: The M5 sits at 19 dB-A equivalent noise - quiet enough for 14-singer choirs, orchestral string sections, and grand piano without the noise floor polluting the take. Maximum SPL is 140 dB, so the pair sits a few feet above a drum kit without breaking up on the cymbal crash. Wide dynamic range on one capsule. SB20 STEREO BAR - 6.7 IN WIDE, ORTF AND XY POSITIONS PRE-MARKED, SPACING SCALE TO 7.8 IN: The SB20 included in this bundle is the connector that turns the M5 pair into a working stereo rig in seconds. 6.7 in wide x 9.4 in long ABS plastic body, two 3/8 in mic threads on top, 5/8 in - 27 male thread underneath for any standard stand. Top surface etched with ORTF (110 degree, 17 cm) and XY (90 degree) angles.
