About Nady RSM-5

This superior neoclassic microphone is designed for use in contemporary, state-of-the-art studios, yet offers the unique natural sound previously only available on such classic large ribbon mics as the legendary RCA 44, which is still used to make great recordings today after almost 70 years. Perfect for recording studio vocals, acoustic instruments, strings, horns, orchestras and choral groups, ambient instrument audio, and many live sound applications. Powerful and versatile, and with the unmatched natural sound of classic ribbon mics, the RSM-5 meets the stringent requirements of even the most demanding digital recording and live broadcasting applications.

Features

• The unmatched sound of a classic ribbon (velocity) mic - rich, warm and musical

• Perfect for close miking of guitar amps and cabinets, brass instruments, strings, piano, percussion, vocals and orchestra ambiance. Unique, compact shape for easy, unobtrusive mic placement anywhere.

• Low-tension 45mm long, 2-micron thick aluminum ribbon design with typical "large, mellow" ribbon audio reproduction. Smooth, natural extended low and high ends, and detailed, realistic mids

• Unparalleled overall stunning realism with fast, accurate transient response, ultra-high dynamic range and >135 dB SPL capability

• Utmost versatility in dialing in the desired sound by varying the mic placement. Figure-8 audio directional (pickup) pattern for both front and rear side, with extended sweet spots (as compared to large diaphragm condenser mics). Can be used with a second RSM-5 for individual recording volume control of 2 separate sources by placing each source in the principal axis of one mic and the off-axis null of the other.

• Manufactured with the finest materials - a machined housing with advanced internal shockmount construction for the highest structural integrity and rugged reliability
