Clear Vocal Capture for Performance and Production
The YDM505S uses a custom-designed cardioid capsule with a 60 Hz–15 kHz frequency response. Yamaha describes the YDM505S as suitable for on-stage performance, music production, and live streaming, with accurate and clear sound capture.
Cardioid Pickup Pattern
The cardioid polar pattern focuses the microphone’s pickup toward the front while reducing pickup from the rear. This makes the YDM505S suitable for vocal performance and other applications where controlled directional pickup is useful.
Reduced Handling Noise
The YDM Series incorporates an insulator made from Yamaha proprietary materials to reduce vibration caused by handling and other external sources. This helps maintain cleaner microphone operation during handheld use.
Locking On/Off Switch
The YDM505S is equipped with an on/off switch featuring a sliding-tab locking function. This provides convenient control while helping prevent accidental switch operation during use.
Comfortable Handheld Design
The microphone body features flowing curves inspired by Yamaha’s musical instrument design expertise. The grip was refined through repeated prototype testing to provide a comfortable fit for handheld operation.
