The M5 is a studio quality half-inch condenser microphone,
designed for highly detailed sound reproduction. It features a
cardioid polar pattern and end address design, meaning that it will
pick up sound directed into the end of the microphone, and reject
sound from the rear of the mic.
This pickup pattern allows for recording of the desired sound
source while reducing the level of other surrounding instruments,
noises or sound sources.
The M5 is not only ideal for recording music, but is a fantastic
microphone for environmental recordings and indoor dialogue on
film sets.
The enclosed pair has been hand-picked by RØDE’s audio
engineering team to be acoustically matched to ensure perfect
compatibility when used in stereo configurations.

8Powering the M5
Connect all cables before supplying phantom power to the
microphone(s) and never remove the microphone cable while the
power is connected.
The M5 requires 48V DC (P48) or 24V DC (P24) phantom power.
If the mixer or preamp does not contain this phantom power
requirement, then an external phantom power supply is needed.
Some phantom power supplies do not supply the voltage at
which they are rated. If the required voltage is not supplied, the
dynamic range and general performance of the microphone will
be reduced.
We strongly suggest the use of a reputable high quality power
supply. Damage caused by a faulty power supply is not covered
under warranty.

What is Phantom Power?
All condenser microphones require a power source to operate the
internal circuitry of the microphone.
Phantom power is a DC voltage, supplied to the microphone
through the XLR cable, providing the microphone circuit with the
power it requires to operate, without the need for an external
microphone power supply.
Most mixing desks, audio interfaces, and preamp units have a
phantom power switch inbuilt. If your equipment doesn’t have a
phantom power supply, an external one can be purchased and
used in-line between the preamp and the M5. Be sure to check
that your phantom power supply is either P48 (48V DC) or P24 (24V
DC) to operate the correctly.

10 Mounting the M5
The M5 matched pair is supplied with a pair of RM5 stand mounts.
These feature a standard 5/8” thread in the base and a 3/8” thread
adaptor is supplied to provide even greater versatility in mounting.
To mount the M5 in the RM5 place the base of the microphone
at the back of the mount and firmly push down towards the front
until the microphone clicks into the mount.
The tension of the RM5 can be adjusted using the lever on the side
of the mount.
