Rode's small-diaphragm NT5 and NT55 models have proven to be very popular in both project and pro studios, though for the past few years the company have been enjoying large-scale success with their video camera microphones, broadcast microphones and some more consumer-style products. My first test was to use a single M5 to record acoustic guitar, the results of which sounded detailed and articulate, with that gentle presence hump bringing out the transients while avoiding harshness or brittleness. One popular technique for testing a mic's high-frequency response is to record a set of jangling keys, as that sound contains a lot of HF (and even ultrasonic) energy. Given their attractive price, the level of performance and that enticingly long warranty, there's little not to like about Rode's new mic.	./cache/www-soundonsound-com-1131.html	./txt/www-soundonsound-com-1131.txt
