Rode NT5 Cardioid Studio Condenser Microphones (Matched Pair)

Description

The NT5 is RØDE’s premier 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 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.

Expanding the NT5’s versatility, an interchangeable omnidirectional capsule (NT45-O) is available.

Finished in durable satin nickel, the NT5 available as a single microphone or as an acoustically matched pair.

The NT5 is designed and made in Australia and covered by RØDE’s industry-leading 10-year warranty.

FAQs

How do I connect the microphone to my computer to record? –

These microphones have an XLR connection, so you will need standard 3-pin XLR cables, as well as an audio interface like the RØDE AI-1 or RØDECaster Pro, which will act as the bridge to your computer for recording. You can then use the microphone to record to a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) like Pro Tools, Cubcase, Ableton, Logic, Garageband or Reaper to name a few, or similar audio recording software.
