About Rode NT5

From the renowned Rode brand comes the NT5 Single Compact 1/2" Cardioid Condenser Microphone, a testament to precision engineering in the realm of small-diaphragm microphones. Designed with the professional in mind, this high-quality, durable microphone excels in capturing the nuanced tones of acoustic instruments, the crisp attack of drum overheads, the shimmering presence of cymbals, and the dynamic range of live performances.

The NT5 features a meticulously crafted 1/2" capsule that ensures detailed audio capture with a cardioid polar pattern, ideal for focusing on the sound source directly in front of the microphone while significantly reducing side and rear pickup. This makes it an indispensable tool for studio recording and live settings where sound isolation is paramount.

At the heart of the NT5's design is an active J-FET impedance converter coupled with a bipolar output buffer, ensuring a robust signal with low noise and ample headroom. This translates to clear, consistent audio performance that audio professionals can rely on.

The microphone's body is finished in a satin nickel for a sleek, professional appearance and enhanced durability, ensuring that it can withstand the rigors of studio and field use. Versatile in application, the NT5 is well-suited for both single and stereo X/Y microphone setups, offering flexibility to sound engineers and recording artists alike.

Each NT5 microphone comes complete with a custom carry case, providing secure storage and transport, as well as windshields and mounts to facilitate immediate setup and optimal recording conditions. Whether you're recording in a controlled studio environment or capturing live sound in the field, the Rode NT5 Single Compact 1/2" Cardioid Condenser Microphone stands as a reliable and versatile choice for pristine audio capture.
