RØDENT5 Premium Half InchSmall-diaphragm Condenser Microphone for Music Production and Instrument Recording

This is one beast of a mic but what a beautiful warm sound. Well built, complete with a mic mount and dust cover (and carriage screw), this is one really nice looking and nice sounding mic. If I have anything to say in terms of improvement... why at over £400 can't they provide an aluminium carry case for this? the box it comes in is very nice, heavy and very fancy but I would sooner have that money spend on a decent protective case - just a thought.

I have been using this for a few months now and i'm very pleased with its performance.The sound is rich and full with a clear sound. If you need to pull in a wider area than a shotgun mic this is the one.I have found it perfect for indoor video work. IE on a boom pole. With the NT-2 shotgun mic for outdoor.In my opinion you can't go wrong with RODE on this the lower end of microphone pricing or with there higher priced gear.

Good results with strings, voice and piano. I like the transit screw - be careful not to lose it. You can take the clutch-bolt out of the mount provided and reverse the bit which the mic is screwed into. This gives a more flexible range of mounting angles on a given stand.

Great mic for vocals and acoustic guitar. Probably has more uses but that's all I've used it for so far. Built like a tank too so make sure your mic stand is up to the task. Quick delivery too

I've just bought my second one. Two of them cover a chorus very well while keeping the rig simple. It helps to make up a 5-pin extension lead.

Great microphone, Just as described and delivered promptly and packaged well.

Sounds great but the connector on the bottom fell out after about the third session. It has now gone for repair.

I have used this for live recordings of bands. Easy to set up on a stand (with a large mic clip) and gives good results. My problem is that I quite often fail to turn it on! I don't use it very often so always take the battery out when its not in use in case it leaks. Nice substantial microphone which seems overly big considering how small the cartridges are but it is well made and is lasting very well - I have had it for about 7 years now
