RØDE M2 condenser microphone
Bought this from Bax. I wanted a reasonably priced small handheld condenser mic for my 20 year old daughter. This sits in her mic bag alongside a Sennheiser e945, a lewitt 550, SM58, and a line 6 V55 mic. this is therefore the only mic that requires phantom power and it also means more work setting up the mixer, whereas she can plug the other mic's straight into the PA directly. Although this takes a bit more setting up, it has very quickly become the go to mic of choice. My Daughter is being classically trained in opera as a soprano. but she still sings non operatic songs professionally and occasionally sings in a band. This mic will have limitations, in terms of off axis rejection when comparing to her other mics meaning that it is very unlikely she will ever use this when singing on a loud stage for example. However, for singing solo on a quite stage this Mic will definitely come into its own and seems to suit a females voice who is a soprano. although the sensitivity isn't as high as some other mic's in its category, I can confirm that when this is connected to a Yamaha MG10xu it sounds detailed, and precise. this is the only mic, which we have that comes with a switch and is not standard on many other mics. although it is not generally recommended to have a mic with a switch when singing professionally, I would say this is a feature that we have utilised and found very useful. The build quality is good, but is noticeably lighter when compared to the SM58, Lewitt and Sennheiser. Another factor we considered is that RODE mics are designed and built in Australia and the factory has prided itself on setting high build quality standards. By registering this the mic now has a 10 year guarantee which is far greater than any of our other mic manufactures. be assured that this is a quality product, buy with confidence. Next purchase, likely will be the RODE Nt1a.

RØDE M2 condenser microphone
Après quelques heures de galère pour trouver le bon réglage sur la tranche micro de mon Mix, le son est bon.
Le rendu de la voix est clair et précis.
Sur ma table de mix, j'ai diminué le gain et poussé un peu plus haut le potar de volume.
Merci Bax pour le prix et la livraison rapide.

RØDE M2 condenser microphone
Ce micro est incroyablement bon, il est vraiment exactement ce dont j'avais besoin.
J'utilise un TC Helicon play accoustic, et j'ai essayé environ 10 micros, Shure Sm48, Sm58 (le moins mauvais), warm wa47-jr, Sennheiser e945, Aston Spirit, Presonus M7 et j'en passe... Clairement, les micros de studio les plus cher ne convenaient pas à mon setup, étant donné que je gratte et ils captaient le son de ma guitare dans le micro, ce n'était pas propre, de plus, la voix ne s'ajustait pas bien dans le mix, souvent trop aigu, trop présent, trop de choses qui n'allaient pas, soit avec ma voix, soit avec le play acoustic.
Le dernier que j'utilisais était le SM58, très bien, mais il manquait quelque chose...
Quand j'ai branché ce Rode M2, mais quelle claque j'ai pris! Il est vraiment excellent sur tous les points, plus que ce que j'espérais, la voix se place parfaitement, je m'entends enfin correctement dans le casque avec des détails, le son est neutre, pas d'aigu en plus qui sont souvent le problème ou une bosse qui dépasse la présence dont on a besoin pour que ce soit parfait, il n'y a rien à retoucher. Je pense que ceux qui possèdent des voicelive devraient vraiment essayer ce micro avant d'investir une fortune dans des micros qui ne seront que moins bon...
Si je devais, je le rachèterais sans hésiter, il a résolu tous mes soucis, mes doutes sur la possibilité d'un jour arriver à obtenir le son que je souhaitais.
Je le recommande à 200%
Et encore merci à Bax Music pour cette livraison rapide!

Rode RODELink Newsshooter Kit wireless camera system
Ik maakte me eerst zorgen of het geluidskwaliteit goed genoeg zou zijn, gezien het apparaat draadloos is. Maar ik ben erg onder de indruk van de audio kwaliteit die binnen komt.
Werkt goed met mijn gh5s.
Aanrader voor professioneel gebruik. Maar ook voor hobbyisten.

RØDE M2 condenser microphone
Prima microfoon, heldere klank. Er zijn betere maar die zijn veel duurder. Bij livegebruik: zet wel de toonregeling van je versterker neutraal anders krijg je feedback. Voor de prijs,kwaliteit-verhouding geef ik 5 sterren.

RØDE M2 condenser microphone
Ce micro trop méconnu est d'une qualité excellente. Le son y est d'un grande précision, il ne trafique absolument rien, on entend tout, c'est propre, ne prend pas facilement le larsen.
Pas de bosse aigue qui rend la voix nasillarde. Enregistrement studio parfait aussi.
Si on compare la courbe au DPA 4018 , on est pratiquement similaire pour 79 euros eu lieu de 945.
J'ai chanté dans du Neumann 104/104+ SM 58 BETA 87 SM 58 ou des micro extrêmement cher ,vraiment il est top. mais attention plat, plat ne veut pas dire manque de dynamique, plat veut dire proche de la réalité.
Bon achat

Rode RODELink Newsshooter Kit wireless camera system
Rode Reporter wordt nu wel geleverd in combinatie met de Rode Newsshooter kit. Kennelijk is mijn advies overgenomen.
De combinatie Rode Reporter met Rode News shooter werkt top in combinatie met de Nikon D850. Ik gebruik deze combinatie voor CAMJO werk voor het AD.
Producten conform verwachting snel geleverd voor de beste prijs.
Natuurlijk erg jammer dat ik de 15% jubileum korting misliep. Als ik dat geweten had.
