The RØDE's M2 is a tough live-performance condenser microphone with a wide frequency response and excellent on-stage performance. The M2 has a tailored-for-stage super-cardioid polar pattern and an internally shock-mounted 1/2" condenser capsule. The addition of an on/off switch adds versatility for artists that prefer greater control over their sound, while a lock prevents the microphone from being accidently switched.
