The Saramonic SR-M500 is a pair of studio quality condenser microphones with ultra-low noise and full frequency response, designed for studio recording and live on stage. They are ideal for stereo recordings like drum overheads, stereo room recordings, acoustic instruments, choirs, or anywhere you would employ a small diaphragm condenser microphone, either individually or as a stereo array. Except for recording music, the SR-M500 is also excellent for environmental recordings and indoor dialogue on film sets. It features a cardioid polar pattern which allows to record the desired sound source while reducing the level of other surrounding instruments, noises or sound sources.
