Your new go-to microphone
The Yamaha YDM505’s 60Hz–15kHz frequency makes it especially applicable for voice, as it naturally rounds off the boominess and harshness that can plague the upper and lower registers. Truthfully, the Yamaha YDM505 dynamic cardioid microphone is one of those mics that works on nearly any sound source that could benefit from a touch of “pre-emptive EQ’ing.”
Cardioid polar pattern for superior sound isolation
When you need to record the source, the whole source, and nothin’ but the source, a cardioid mic should be arguably the first thing you reach for. This polar pattern is renowned for its off-axis rejection and superior sound isolation, and it’s precisely why Sweetwater studio engineers have found that the Yamaha YDM505 makes an excellent snare drum mic as well.
Accessories to accelerate your creativity
The Yamaha YDM505 dynamic cardioid microphone doesn’t arrive solo. Open the box, and you’ll find its complementary mic clip and pouch, as well as a handy 3/8-inch-to-5/8-inch adapter. Additionally, should you decide to use the YDM505 as a handheld vocal mic, you’ll be greeted by its wonderfully comfortable and curvaceous grip. Yamaha designed the YDM505 to be ready for anything, and it shows.
