Rode M2 Condenser Mic Review / Test

Today I review the Rode M2, a handheld, supercardioid, condenser microphone. I love this microphone. The mids and treble of this microphone are extremely flat, and then you get a nice boost in the air frequencies to open it up. It does a great job at background noise rejection, plosive rejection, and handling noise rejection, and provides an extremely smooth and natural sound. Absolutely killer mic at the price point.
