With rock-solid build quality and a high-power neodymium capsule, the RODE M1 live dynamic microphone is designed to provide the very best performance night after night, while taking all the abuse expected of a microphone with the rock 'n' roll credentials of RODE. The M1's ergonomically designed all-metal body is engineered for maximum comfort when used as a handheld microphone. It feels robust, solid and perfectly balanced without being weighty or heavy, and handling noise is all but eliminated by the microphone's internal design. Featuring a warm response that is never muddy or undefined, the M1's smooth character and defined clarity offer incredible performance as a live vocal microphone. A tightly controlled cardioid polar pattern minimises spill and feedback. Renowned as one of the industry's best live vocal microphones, the M1 is an equally strong performer on guitar amplifiers as well as kick drum, snare drum, toms and percussion. The microphone and steel mesh head are presented in an attractive and durable satin black finish. The RODE M1 live performance dynamic microphone is covered by RODE Microphones' lifetime warranty, providing peace of mind that your microphone is covered for many years to come.
