## Overview

The Rode M2 is a handheld condenser microphone combining studio-grade sound clarity with a supercardioid pickup pattern that minimizes feedback. Its robust metal body and locking on/off switch make it ideal for live performances, while the built-in windscreen ensures plosive-free vocals. Perfect for professionals seeking reliable, high-fidelity audio on stage or in the studio.

## Description

The RODE M2 Handheld Condenser Microphone puts crystal-clear, studio-caliber sound reproduction in your hands! Though it gives you condenser-mic performance, the M2's supercardioid pickup pattern and internal shockmount design makes it very resistant to feedback. It's like having the best of both worlds onstage: the durability and dependability of a dynamic mic built into a high-performance condenser model! A locking on/off switch is handy for performers, and the effective windscreen protects the capsule while making the M2 very resistant to plosives.

Review: Professional results for a budget price. - 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.
Review: Amazing option for Podcasting, Discord, and anything else. - 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well-made Microphone
*by J***E on July 9, 2019*

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.
