OmnidirectionalCardioidRØDE NT5

Detachable-Capsule Pencil Condenser Microphone

The Rode NT5 is a small diaphragm, transformerless condenser microphone with detachable cardioid capsule.

Intended for recording acoustic instruments, drum overheads, cymbals and live performances, the compact externally polarized mic employs a .5'' capsule, an active J-FET impedance converter with bipolar output buffer.

Finished in durable satin nickel.

The NT5’s seemed every bit the equal of the new KM 184 as the room mics…

The NT5 is available singly (NT5-S) or in matched pairs.
The Rode NT45-O Omnidirectional capsule is sold separately.

The RØDE NT5 is also known as: NT5-S.

The mic was released in 2002.
