The M2 benefits from RØDE's extensive experience in crafting premium condenser microphones for studio, live and location use. This new microphone builds upon the foundation set by the TEC award winning RØDE S1.

Combining sound quality equal to that of the finest studio microphones, the M2 features a tailored response to reduce feedback, as well as an integrated shock mounting system to minimize handling noise. A locking on/off switch located on the microphone's body provides the switching feature required by singers with self-operated sound systems, and yet can be locked off when used in larger, dedicated operator environments.

"In the past, sound professionals have been hesitant to use condenser microphones for live applications due to their fragile nature and their susceptibility to feedback. I wanted to change that perception." explained Peter Freedman, President of RØDE Microphones. "By combining studio sound quality in a rugged, feedback-free package the new RØDE M2 will do just that."

Key features:

• Live condenser vocal microphone
• Feedback rejecting super-cardioid pick up pattern
• Locking on/off switch
