Featuring 1/2" capsules, a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz, maximum SPL handling of 140 dB, and durable ceramic coated bodies, this matched pair lays a hefty load of sonic possibilities at your feet. Two WS5 windshields and two RM5 stand mounts are also included. Set these two baddies up and let your tracking begin.

The Rode M5 Mic -- Based on the Popular Rode NT5
Rode microphones are known for spotless audio capture and stellar bang-for-your-buck. In fact, Rode's commitment to high-performing condenser microphones has led their NT2-A to be described as the "World's Best Studio Microphone" at Frankfurt's esteemed Musikmesse tradeshow. While the Rode M5 mics found in this pair may not be a household name, they're based on the well-known Rode NT5 microphone. With this pair, you're getting the Rode name for a great price.

High Maximum SPL and Cardioid Polar Pattern
This pair of microphones can take in a hefty dousing of decibels -- boasting a maximum SPL of 140 dB, they can certainly handle tracking drums without any distortion kicking in. Go ahead and put one on the hi-hat. The cardioid polar pattern on these two microphones allows for directional recording. Set them up in an X/Y or ORTF pattern on all sorts of instruments or ensembles.

Wide Frequency Response For Versatile Applications
These two condensers capture a full frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz. This keeps the door wide open for a virtually unlimited list of applications. Aside from being used as drum overheards, these babies work well for group vocals, guitars, hi-hats, wind instruments, string instruments, percussion, and a whole host of other options as well.
