RODE NT5 Compact 1/2-Inch Cardioid Condenser Microphone

Share

The NT5 is RODE's small-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone, sometimes referred to as a 'pencil mic'. Intended for recording acoustic instruments, drum overheads, cymbals and live performances, the compact externally polarized NT5 mic employs a 1/2" capsule, an active J-FET impedance converter with bipolar output buffer. Its tight cardioid pickup pattern also makes it ideal for use as an indoor dialogue microphone for filmmaking on a mic stand or boom.

Finished in durable satin nickel, the NT5 available as a single microphone or as an acoustically matched pair (NT5-MP). The NT5 package includes:

• NT5 cardioid condenser microphone
• RM5 microphone clip
