Rode M1 is a dynamic singing microphone designed for use on stage. It is advertised as solid and sturdy, built to last, the same argument that the shure sm 58 use, which I own as well. And that's what attracted me because I wanted a microphone similar to the SM 58, but DIFFERENT in sound and even more suited to my voice.

OVERALL OPINION

I have it since 8 months and I am totally satisfied. It's very very sturdy, with good output, good grip, no feedback at all, and the sound is well defined. In my opinion worth more than a SM58, but be careful if I compare to the sm58 and I put it in front of me, for my voice, the 58 is a very good mic. It's natural, clear and precise.
At first I couldn't choose between a Sennheiser MB85 and a t.bone (which had good reviews), finally I did not regret having bought it, even though it's at the same price as an sm58.
You have to try this microphone, or even all Rodes, because, honestly, for me it's a very high quality brand and most of the time less expensive than other brands (not the case for this microphone but for other microphones prices are attractive). I strongly recommend it, it seems versatile, good for a variety of music styles as for hard rock
