En sortant le microphone de sa boite on voit de suite qu'on en a pour son argent. On échappe enfin à la sempiternelle grille arrondie au profit d'un look allongé plus "classe" puisqu'il s'agit de protéger la petite capsule à condensateur suspendue au bout d'une double tige en plastique. Ça a l'air moins solide qu'une cellule dynamique sur un Shure SM58 mais c'est pour du son vocal (occasionnellement de l'instrumental) et pas du rodéo.Le poids du M2 nu est de 298 gr donc un peu plus léger qu'un SM58. La prise en main est excellente. La finition de pied en cap est superbe. Un interrupteur à ILS (contact magnétique) permet d'éteindre le microphone de manière silencieuse, chose appréciable.Pour délivrer du son il faut rappeler que ce microphone nécessite une alimentation fantôme de 24 ou 48 volts en provenance d'une table de mixage ou d'un boitier interface USB. Le niveau de sortie est meilleur qu'un micro dynamique style Shure SM58 et vous permettra de parler ou chanter tout en étant relativement éloigné de la grille.Petit rappel : pour ce microphone on utilisera un câble avec prises XLR vers XLR toutes deux en 3 broches propres aux entrées microphone. Un câble XLR vers jack 6.35 est à proscrire puisque les jacks sont en principe réservés aux impédances lignes élevées incompatibles avec tout microphone qu'il soit dynamique ou à condensateur. Cette erreur est courante pour bien des utilisateurs.Tenir le microphone à la main n'engendrera pas de bruit, ce dernier restant discret. De plus la capture de sons d'ambiances sera bien atténuée contrairement à certains micros à condensateur comme l'Audio Technica AT 2020 par exemple.Coté restitution sonore on est devant un élève particulièrement doué. Les voix sortent belles, neutres et transparentes avec une grande richesse de timbre peut-être grâce à une légère bosse du spectre vers 10 kHz. L'atténuation des graves avec une pente de 12 dB par octave à partir de 100 Hz permet de limiter efficacement des sons de table ou des bruits sourds environnants. Si vous rencontrez du souffle n'accusez pas le RODE M2 mais plutôt votre préampli.. En effet le M2 a une tension de sortie suffisante pour éviter d'ouvrir le gain à fond, ce qui limitera beaucoup le bruit résiduel. La bande passante est large comme tout micro à condensateur et les hauts niveaux de pression acoustique ne lui font pas peur avec 141 dB SPL.Testé avec une interface USB FOCUSRITE "Scarlett" sur MacBook et aussi avec un enregistreur ZOOM "H4n Pro" les enregistrements ont été enthousiasmants grâce à la possibilité d'obtenir rapidement et sans aucune correction des résultats probants. Inutile de dire qu'un SHURE SM58 accuse bien son âge face au RODE M2 qui transcrit les voix masculines et féminines avec beaucoup de brio. L'enregistrement de guitare acoustique est également possible avec ce microphone et donne de bons résultats.Pour finir le M2 est livré avec un clip de pied qui est un modèle du genre sans aucune vis et avec un matériau plastique flexible avec articulation par friction, le tout superbement et solidement réalisé.Nota : après achat il est utile de se connecter au site internet de Rode pour enregistrer le produit. Dès cet instant la garantie du microphone passe à 10 ans.Vous l'aurez compris vu ses brillantes prestations vous pouvez acheter ce microphone RODE M2 les yeux fermés et les oreilles grandes ouvertes.

I wasn't sure what to think before the purchase. It seemed a bit pricey. But good reviews convinced me to buy it. And am glad I did. This is a really great condenser mic made for the stage. It handles itself really well while resisting feedback. It has a warm tone to it if you like that. Would be a really good go to performance microphone or a great backup.

I have had many mics in this price range. This clearly outperforms them all. The sound on my acoustic guitar is smooth, clear and even. Does a great job with vocals as well. Very solid constriction. Excellent studio tool.

There really is very little to dislike about this microphone. It sounds very reasonable (I'm mainly using it for general recording). It is quite sensitive, well built and a very reasonable price. It can run on phantom power or a PP3 battery - which is very handy for outdoor/location recording. As great as many condenser microphones are - if they need phantom power then you are pretty much tied to a mains powered set-up. The battery option on this mic doesn't seem to degrade the signal and gives you much more flexibility. The microphone seems very well put-together, has a built-in high-pass filter and pads, A very good all-rounder. I've used it to record everything from classical guitars to violins, cello,harpsichord. It gives a very reasonable recording for most instruments - and certainly where you need portability. It works very well in conjunction with the RØDE wireless go transmitter unit.

While this mic sounds a tad different than the SM58, with eq it can sound the same. The lifetime warranty makes this mic the better purchase. When compared to the SM58, it is also much more sensitive, meaning you can be a foot away and it still pics up your voice quite well. I notice I have to be pretty close to a 58 for it to pickup my voice clearly. This could be bad if you are playing in a large band, as I would imagine it might pick up a drum kit behind you or monitors. For solo performers or acoustic performers this mic is the way to go. As far as durability, it feels pretty much identical to the 58, however is just a tad longer in length. You also have to crank the gain a bit more than a SM58 on this mic, however this doesn't really bother me when put through a clean pre. I have a lower voice, I give this mic a some eq adjutments mainly in the low and high end and it sounds on par, if not better than a 58.

I use this mic at my desk to narrate videos. Before it, I used a Blue Yeti Pro. The Rode M2 is better than the Yeti by far, and it's almost on-par with the Shure SM7B that I use to record audio books and other audio-only recordings. It does very well with mid-range vocals. So, a man's voice will have more richness at a distance. It also did a good job rejecting ambient noise from the room and outside.There's a couple of knocks, though. I found plosives to pick up more than I thought they would. I try to speak into it at an off angle, but it picked up the Ps. The Bs were fine. I do use a windscreen, so I may switch to a pop filter. Also, the On/Off switch is really difficult to flip. That's one tight lock on it and maybe tighter than it needs to be.One last thing, you don't need a Cloudlifter. Just turn the gain to about 60%-70% on your audio interface (I use a Focusrite Scarlett) and turn on phantom power.I think it's worth the cash.

I've had a Rode Boom Arm for a couple years and have tried so many other mics for online communication, streaming, podcasting, discord, and gaming based on popular consensus. Youtube randomly had a review of this mic under suggested and even though it wasn't being sold as my use case the information provided had my spidey senses tingling. If the mic is to be used for vocals on stage around loud instruments in a loud environment then maybe it'll work in my environment which seems to be louder than most.Spoiler Alert: It did. It's better than the AT2035 and RE320 for my environment. I love how crisp my voice sounds on it and how easily it rejects background noise. I'm a low/moderate speaker so if it works for me this would be ideal for loud speakers who could leave the DB way down resulting in much less background nosie being picked up. After reviewing many podcasts and streams mics are in most of the big peoples faces... right where this mic works the best.

I replaced a small diaphragm MXL mic (everybody's first condenser mic) with the M5 and can't believe the difference in the quality of my recordings. Close micing an acoustic guitar it captures every subtle tone and accentuates the differences in the attack with a pick or fingerstyle. I usually hang a blanket over a couple chair backs, position this mic in front and play into it. It gives me results that are very warm and true to the sound of my guitar. I'm thinking about using this as an overhead drum mic for my band, too.

I have 2 of these that I use in my recording studio for a variety of things. Great for vocals, snare drum and amplifier mic'ing. Recently used them for a podcast recording. Very rich in the low to high mids. I especially like them for recording mid-side "stereo" acoustic guitar. Because this is an end address microphone, I point it right at the 12th fret, with a 2nd figure-of-eight condenser just above it to catch the left and right. Then, once in the DAW, I duplicate the condenser track, pan the condenser tracks hard R & L and flip the polarity on one of the tracks. The Rode track stays right down the middle. This mic feels like a piece of lead in your hand - very heavy duty.

Quando bisogna prendere un microfono per voce da usare sul palco e in saletta, il primo consiglio è quello di prendere quello che è uno standard applicativo: lo shure SM58. Tanto successo però, a mio avviso, non è del tutto meritato. Per carità, è un buon microfono, ma non è il migliore in assoluto come rapporto qualità prezzo. In particolare non mi è mai piaciuto il suono molto tagliente, poco corposo e poco definito. Questa caratteristica piace molto ai fonici perchè il fatto che sia più presente sui medio-alti permette di inserire il cantante nel mix più facilmente; da qui il fatto che si sia diffuso come standard.Il Rode M1 si pone proprio come alternativa all'SM58 e, malgrado il prezzo inferiore, lo supera in qualità e performance.Struttura in metallo che ne garantisce un'assoluta robustezza. Inoltre il peso è consistente (ma non eccessivo) e dà l'idea di avere tra le mani qualcosa di cui potersi fidare, caratteristica che aiuta a sentirsi a proprio agio con la propria voce. Non credo si romperà mai!Passiamo al suono. Risulta essere molto bilanciato e molto definito! Bassi presenti nella giusta misura. La vostra voce uscirà cristallina e senza sbavature.Nessun problema di feedback (entro i limiti dell'impianto ovviamente).Insomma, non ha nulla da invidiare a microfoni più costosi come il suddetto SM58 o il Sennheiser e845 (che secondo me è un po' troppo scuro).A ripensarci, sembra incredibile un prezzo così basso!Aggiungete che l'australiana Rode offre 10 anni di garanzia. Basta registrare il microfono con numero seriale sul loro sito.Assolutamente consigliato!

El sonido es muy cálido teniendo una respuesta en frecuencias muy equilibrado. Con una gran respuesta de ganancia alimentado por Phantom. Robusto y con un interruptor silencioso. Un micro muy recomendado para todo tipo de voces con una gran capacidad dinámica de hasta 141dB SPL. A mi entender con mejor respuesta que los Shure Beta 58 A en calidad de sonido y precio.
