Introduction

Thank you for chosing the M2 live condenser

microphone.

The M2 beneﬁts from ’s extensive experience

in crafting premium condenser microphones for

studio, live and location use and is a direct result of the

foundation set by the award winning S1.

Combining sound quality equal to that of the ﬁnest

studio microphones with features such as integrated

shock mounting to reduce handling noise and a

tailored response to reduce feedback, the M2 is a

sturdy versatile add to your live microphone kit.

Please take the time to visit www.rodemic.com and

While there you can view studio tips and techniques, as

well as browse a comprehensive range of accessories

for the M2 and other microphones.

Using the M2

• The M2 requires a power supply which for

optimum results should be a ‘P48’ standard,

48 Volt DC Supply.

Most professional mixing consoles have an internal

48 V supply; alternatively you can purchase a

separate supply. Ensure that the power supply you

use is a professional unit that is operating correctly.

Damage due to connection of the M2 to a faulty

power supply is not covered by the warranty.

• The M2 comes complete with a microphone

stand-mount (RM1). This should be used to attach

the microphone to a good quality stand.

The stand-mount includes a thread adaptor

allowing connection to either 3/8” or 5/8”

stand thread.

• Always use a high quality microphone cable and

ensure that it is wired Pin 1 screen, Pin 2 (+), Pin 3 (-).

*Online product registration required.

• We recommend that any connections made to the

mixer or recorder are made with the attenuation

(gain) set to OFF as well as the microphone switch

set to OFF.

• When ﬁrst switching the mixer on and when

phantom power has been applied to the M2, or

when the microphone is switched on, you should

allow several seconds for the microphone to

stabilize.

• To ensure the lowest noise/distortion your mixer

input gain control should be set so that the Peak

Program Indicator (PPI) LED ﬂashes ON during

peaks of the source (voice/instrument).

If there is no PPI, adjust the input gain while

listening for distortion of the sound. If distortion is

heard, gradually reduce the gain until it is no longer

present.

• Microphone technique, or how to get the sound

you want, requires experimentation.

We suggest that you start with the channel EQ set

to ‘OFF’ or ‘FLAT’ (no boost or cut).

• The M2’s primary function

is a live vocal microphone.

When setting it up on

stage, make sure the

foldback monitors are

positioned as pictured in

Figure 1. This will direct

the sound to the vocalist

and towards the least

responsive section of the

M2’s pick up pattern.

• To avoid feedback and make full use of the M2’s

pick up pattern, it is best not to cup your hands

over the head of the microphone, as

shown in Figure 2.

• After use the M2 should be removed from its stand

mount, wiped with a dry, soft cloth and placed in its

protective zip pouch.

• An absorbent crystal pack is supplied with the M2.

This should stay in the zip pouch at the head of the

microphone when not in use, as condensers are

highly susceptible to moisture. When the crystals

turn pink, they can be dryed out in an oven at

100 - 150 degrees celsius for approximately ten

minutes. Once they turn blue they can be reused.
