Just as the Rode NT5 has gained international acclaim for its performance, the NT55-S Compact 1/2" Cardioid Condenser Microphone utilizes the same 1/2" gold sputtered true condenser transducer, promising superior sound quality. This low-noise, balanced output microphone is designed to deliver a wide dynamic range and a full frequency response, making it an ideal choice for professional audio recording.
The NT55-S microphone's circuitry features a three-position variable PAD with options for 0dB, -10dB, or 20dB attenuation. This allows for precise control over the microphone's sensitivity, ensuring optimal performance in various recording environments. Additionally, the microphone includes a three-position variable high-pass filter, allowing users to switch from a flat response to a 75 or 150 Hz high pass filter. This feature enhances the flexibility of the microphone, making it suitable for a broad range of audio applications.
One of the standout features of the NT55-S Compact 1/2" Cardioid Condenser Microphone is its inclusion of two different condenser microphone heads. These interchangeable heads provide a wide variety of polar patterns, enabling users to customize the microphone's pickup pattern to suit their specific recording needs.
To further enhance its versatility, the NT55-S microphone comes with a comprehensive range of accessories. These are designed to facilitate easier positioning and attachment, ensuring that the microphone can be set up quickly and efficiently in any recording scenario. Whether you're recording in a studio or on location, the NT55-S Compact 1/2" Cardioid Condenser Microphone offers a combination of performance, flexibility, and convenience that sets it apart in the world of professional audio equipment.
