Description
The Rode NT5 Compact 1/2" Cardioid Condenser Microphone Matched Pair is a masterpiece of small-diaphragm cardioid-condenser microphone design.
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.
Finished in durable satin nickel, the NT5 is intended for either single or stereo X/Y mic set-ups. The NT5 matched pairs comesupplied in a custom carry case with windshields and mounts.
- Externally biased condenser
- Gold sputtered 1/2" capsule
- Heavy-duty satin-nickel plated body
- Surface mount circuitry
- Low noise
- Full frequency response
| Power | P48 (48V), P24 (24V) phantom supply |
| Acoustic Principle | Pressure gradient |
| Directional Pattern | Cardioid |
| Frequency range | 20 Hz - 20 kHz |
| Output impedance | 100Ω |
| Signal noise ratio | 78 dB SPL (A - weighted per IEC651) |

| Maximum SPL | 143dB SPL (@ 1kHz, 1% THD into 1KΩ load) |
| Maximum output voltage | +13.9dBu (@ 1kHz, 1% THD into 1KΩ load) |
| Sensitivity | -38 dB re 1 Volt/Pascal (12 mV @ 94 dB SPL) +/- 2 dB @ 1kHz |
| Weight | 101gm |
| Dimensions | 118mmH x 20mmW x 20mmD |
