PreSonus PM-2 Small Diaphragm Condenser Microphone Matched Pair

Great value for a quality product. Includes the 2 mics, mic clips and the stereo bar all together. I would compare these with my Rode M5 matched pair of pencil Condenser mics at almost twice the price. I'm using the M5s as drum overheads and wanted these for recording stereo acoustic guitar and field recording. I would buy them again, no doubt.

I love the sound I get with this mic on acoustic guitar.

Works exceptionally well as ambient sound (room) mics for our congregation on live stream

They have a mostly natural sound with the light aluminum case have a self-vibrating frequency at around 800 to 1200hz plus harmonics. Which means the sound is bright and a bit thin. For acoustic instruments and voice I feel they are appropriate if you want a brighter-than-true sound. Compared to my other sets of pencil mics, these “ring” too much. So the case is too light and isn’t isolated from the transducer well enough. Any movement of the mic or mic cable, by breath or wind or floor vibration through the mic stand will be picked up and will likely negatively affect the acoustic instrument recording. But for the price, these mics have very low self electronic noise, and are a good choice for inexpensively recording acoustic instruments or voice where a bright quality is desired.

Second gig mis stand tipped over and mic got internal damage. Same your money on something better. They sound coo not the best but the price says it all.

It sounds tiny, and not so high quality.

The microphone has an issue where theres a horrible high pitched whine sound that doesn’t go away despite trouble shooting multiple times.
