👆 The Rode M5 patched pair of stereo pencil condensors are a great way to record high quality stereo sounds without breaking the bank! Of course there are loads of options that a matched pair open up beyond the usual XY configurations. Try experimenting with the Glyn Johns technique or even just micing the snare from above and below. You can get creative with the M5s because they sound so natural, what you hear is what you get!

That man has obviously never seen a goose. That's not a gooseneck, that's just a mic clip.
Just getting into sound recording and came across this set of mics. I’m very impressed. Although the choice of guitar and the huge sound absorption on the walls must play a part in the recorded sound sounding good.
Thanks for a really good demonstration with audio testing we can use. Practical demonstrations like your guitar and drum tests are very much appreciated. By the way, considering how small these mics are, you can make your own sturdy case with a dollar store pencil box and some foam.
Bought these a couple years ago. For the money, these are fantastic. I would even recommend them over some much more expensive pencil mics.
They don't distort when recording loud sounds? There is no pad button so am worried about kit being too loud for mics

I've used them as overheads for about 5 months now. Only once did I get slight distortion. To be fair...it was my fault because I was recording a bit hot, on accident. So, no..you won't miss a pad switch if you set your levels correctly.
Instant like for In My Life. Best song of all time.
The M5 is one of the most famous rodes in the UK. I mean "roads".
you sir, deserve applause
I have two sets of M5s and they're nothing short of brilliant. I like my drums to ring. Nothing worse than cardboard-box toms and flat kick-drums. I want a boom bass, not a bang. I want as much sustain as possible and the Rodes give me that. I also use Audix D-series as well as the AD15s with roll-offs depending on where I record. Rode Mics are my go to kit. In my living room I sport a Yamaha Maple Custom Absolute 9-piece kit. All the toms get a D-series mic, both hi-hats get an M5 and depending on the sound I want to get the overheads are either the M5, NT-1 or the Audix AD15s. For the Bass I use the NT-1 or Audix D6 in a port. Sometimes I'll throw in an M5 too. An NT5 on the snare and an Audix D1 on the bottom. This works perfectly for getting the sounds I want and need to have. I record through a Soundcraft MFXi-16 directly into a Tascam flash recorder. No effects, no EQ either. Rode mics are the bomb and nothing short of it.
Pretty impressed by the sound of the drums recorded with these 2 little microphones.
Nice review! Thanks very much!
Excellent, you guys should look at the Monoprice pencil condenser stereo pack they are really Mxl 603's but half the price!!.
Great demo man. Thank you.
They are also great on the neck of a double bass.
I've tried to use these as overheads a lot since it were the only mics available at the time. The drummer I recorded hits his cymbals very hard and that made these mics almost useless imho. They tended to only record the cymbals and the rest of the kit was overly bright and not very audible. Sure it would work better with a drummer that has a softer touch but didn't work for me at all. Moved on to large diaphram condensers and I am a much happier man now.
Thanks for the great review. I just bought a pair for my drums after seeing it.
What's the use of the limiter anyway when you can just ask the artist to perform as loud as he can for a few seconds,make that the 0 db level and you should be good to go. Nice vid by the way, gives a good impression of the M5. And I think 1/2 inch is a reasonable alternative between, say, NT1000 and NT5.

A)
because you can use it as an expander - get the signal you want in and then boost the the level you want (with out effecting the sensitivity of the microphone by using the pre-amp ).
B)
Drums also typically tend to creep in loudness through out a performance and can have a range of amplitude volume wise depending on the type of song stile. The limiter insure that everything post effect unit dose not get damaged if the drummer decides to get louder than what was original accounted for.
C)
In the digital world running over 0 causes fairly major distortion in the recording - something you can sort of can get away with on tape recorders.
M5s are brilliant. I use them mostly when shooting events and vlogs.
I have 'em, i just love 'em!!!! No one can ask more for the budget!
Is that good for singers too ?
Super video, thank you !
Thanks very kindly for the great test, explanation and video, I'm sold!
After watching this video, I've decided to buy these microphones.
Sucker
So what are your views regarding m5 now, are you still using these mics?
They have got a high pitched whine at high gain which is needed for soft picking.
fantastic sound..!
do people actually record drums like this? it sounds pretty decent considering there is no kick or snare mic.
I think audio on your videos are a bit high mate
I wasn't impressed with the nt5 sound, but these sound huge.
So this is obviously good sounding for studio but how would they hold up for live audio setup? Specifically for a church choir with a full band playing on the stage?
the sales rep at the store I bought thm at said he's had a few churches come in and use them for full choirs and they work well. No idea if he was right though, I just bought them today and havent had much time to test them.
Excellent demo. Thanks.
Thanks for a great and persuasive video. As well as for musical contexts, would you recommend using one (or both of these) in a secondary role for recording vlogs in a studio, atrached to a camera like the Canon M50, but obviously with some kind of audio device between to give phantom power?? Thanks, if you had the time to advise would be grateful...
Awesome mics come well packaged and sound good.The only two problems i have is one. The mic clips are very tight almost two tight and you have to force one side in to clamp it. Instead of the (i love rode sticker) it would have been more helpful to show a visual diagram of how to do this since you don't always figure it out until later, even though the manual does mention it sort of how to do it. Or a you tube video lol. # two problem is this is my second rode set of mics purchase and there's a small dent and scratch with paint missing on one of them on the front grill small but still the quality control is lacking. My other mic was a Ntk from 2011 and i had some kinda yellow glue ball bouncing in and out of the diaphragm that i had to take apart myself and take out. Great mics but I'm the buyer rode, stop saying pass it and sending it out to the costumer.This mite be my last rode purchase after these two incidents.
Excellent review, thanks.
♡ Love it Very Sturdy.
Nice review! But did you use the limiter because of the characteristics of the mike? Or do you always use a limter on b.e. acoustic guitar.
Thanks a lot for the fruitfull video,
So where is the line 6 Helix video ? we are all expecting a demo from the captn and chappers.
Cheers !
Great Microphones. Great guitarplayer!
How does a small time YTer get one of these for his camera??? I can't even find a Rode mic for my camera to buy... let alone ask for sponsorship of one;-)
Woodeso's Guitar Mods I think he has to return them. He's can't keep them i think.
They're nice, but I think the NT5's sound a lot more natural. for a bit more.
I felt the same about that too, but when you really compare the sound i find sometimes we judge to quickly at first and i find there a bit more clear but that makes them more brite sounding as well.
Great sound and playing there :)
wow the drums sound incredible i've been looking for a demo of these mics for a long time on drums and u were the only one I could find thanks man
Great Video! I have two pairs of these that I LOVE. By chance, do you remember the preamp or interface used to record these? Thanks!
A bit of language fussiness:
A gooseneck is a flexible-bendy shaft that lets you position a microphone (or lamp, etc.) relative to a fixed point (mic stand base, lamp base, etc.). The thing you use to fasten a mic to a mic stand is called a mic clip or mic mount. There may be other names, but gooseneck isn't one of them.
does it have a power light.why. nice to known if it,s still there in the dark can be seen from a distant and you can keep an eye on things, it can also be a pain . but do any of the mic reviewed light. close up,s would of been nice better than waving your hands around and a visual display of the sound, software spectrum analyser. then you can compare against some bench mark. your review are good but better is better. cheers
why are their so many camera angles and effects
has anyone tried this on stage ....
Hello, I need your help to connect the mic to Garageband, I couldn't find from the preferences the input for the two micros Rode.
Hello, i need your help to can connect the Rode m5 to my Mac, I tried with tow cables USB but it doesn't work. Thanks in advance,
Audio interface.
How in the world did you try to connect these with USB? The use XLR jacks. As the other person mentioned you need an audio interface.
Hey Stick, where did you get that heavy duty mic stand shown at 4:33?
Awesome demo by the way, keep it up. \m/
rebel200794 Thanks mate, that is a sE Electronics one, stage 3 from memory, very heavy duty!
Great video! Could you recommend a preamp/interface for these puppies?
Hello ! Assuming that I don't care about the carryig box and the external finish of the microphone, would it be worth paying much more for a pair of NT 5 ? What would the benefit just interm of recording quality / fidelity ? Thanks in advance (it is hard to chose, especially without testing before !)
The Nt5's have two main advantages. Changeable capsules and a lower noise floor. I believe the nt5 comes with a cardoid capsule, but you have the ability to replace the capsule with an omnidirectional capsule instead of buying a separate omnidirectional mic. There are also other third-party manufacturers that make capsules for the nt5 which can sound better depending on what your style is. They also have a lower noise floor, so if you a re recording drums it wont matter as much since they are loud, but even something like a piano it will make a difference. The hiss in the background will be more present on the m5's then the nt5. Depending on your purposes it may or may not be worth it. Personally i went with the m5's.
has any one else had issues with the rode m5 where if your using a Neutric NC3FXX connector it grabs on to the m5's connector and pulls out the internal PCB of the mic?
Just had one die this way - and the others that I have seem to be not to far behind falling apart in the same manner.
I own 4 and haven't had any issues like that yet.
Jacinth Clifton
What connectors are you using? note this is an issue with the design of the M5 when used with the industry standard Neutric XX connectors.
I use these exact cables - ebay.com/itm/XLR-Microphone-Cable-20ft-Foot-3-Pin-VRT-Pro-Audio-20-Pack-/311545091351?hash=item488988d517
hahah those aren't Neutric their low end cheep Chinese clones of the Neutric X series. I'd take the lower end Yongsheng Neutric connectors over cheep generic Chinese crap.
The Neutric XX series connector is industry strand and for the M5 not to work with them is a problem.
I suppose it can be, I have a good 20-30 cables with Neutric connectors but I don't use them with the M5's so I can't claim that is not an issue with mine as well. Thanks for the heads up though, I'll make sure not to use my cables with Neutric connectors with these microphones.
I thought it sounded metallic I thought it was the processing you say you haven't done anything so it must be the mics but for the price not too bad.
I wanna mainly record acoustic piano; these seem good for that but I might need to record some vocals every now and again - do you think they'd be good for vocals too?
Are they good for vocals?
A wild Andy Vickery appears!
5:27
wow, I was buying anyway, was checking to see if was a stupid decision. nooooooope
Awesome, what kind of recorder was used?
can these be used for live audio on a bass amp???
Question...these for drum overheads duty.or the se5"s
from se electronics?can't decide
what is the song the classical guitar was playing?
Seb Warren Music In My Life by The Beatles
The song at 3:18 sounds so familiar but I can't remember the title, can anyone give me the title.
Doug Payne In My Life - The Beatles.
Thanks for the info
What is the name of the second song played on the guitar? Thanks
"In my life" by the Beatles.A John Lennon song.
georgeharatzoglou thanks bro !
@@georgeharatzoglou I loved how he played it. touching.
1:19 what's wrong with him?
Achintya Upadhyay lmfao Mic was shorted and he got jolted with 48 v DC ROFL!!!
Battery?
Nope, you'll need to supply your own phantom power - most recording interfaces these days come with phantom power built in though.
класс
I have 4 of these mic's in this drum recording, (one on snare, two on the inner overheads, and one on the ride) watch?v=0hYEWFdNESg
