RODE M1-S Switchable live Cardioid-Dynamic Mic

The Rode M1-S

\n\n

A rugged, handheld dynamic microphone designed for live vocal performances. A key feature that distinguishes it from the standard Rode M1 is its lockable on/off switch, which provides control on stage and prevents accidental muting. The microphone is a popular alternative to the Shure SM58, offering a warm and clear vocal response with excellent feedback rejection.

\n\n

Acoustic principle: The M1-S

\n\n

uses a dynamic capsule, which is well-suited for live performance due to its durability and resistance to feedback.

\n\n

High-output neodymium capsule: Delivers a warm, clear, and detailed audio response.

\n\n

Cardioid polar pattern: Designed to minimize feedback and off-axis sound pickup, focusing on the audio source directly in front of the microphone.

\n\n

Low handling noise: A precision-engineered internal design almost completely eliminates handling noise, so performers can hold and move the microphone without interference.

\n\n

Lockable on/off switch: An integrated switch with a flush-mounted locking screw provides on-stage control and prevents accidental power toggling.

\n\n

All-metal body: The heavy-duty, ergonomic metal construction is built to withstand the rigors of touring and feels comfortable in hand.

\n\n

XLR security lock: Features a lockable XLR output for enhanced connection stability and security in public venues.

\n\n

Internal pop filter: Reduces plosives (e.g., \"p\" and \"b\" sounds) for a cleaner vocal performance.

\n\n

Extended warranty: RØDE offers a lifetime warranty when you register your microphone.

\n\n
