Like the NT5, the RDE NT55 is a small-diaphragm, true-condenser cardioid microphone, sometimes referred to as a ‘pencil mic’. The NT55 adds both a three position pad (0, -10dB, -20dB) and three stage high pass filter (Off, 75Hz, 150Hz), and includes the interchangeable NT45-O omnidirectional capsule.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. Finished in durable satin nickel, the NT55 available as a single microphone or as an acoustically matched pair.The NT55 is designed and made in Australia, and covered by RDE’s industry leading 10 year warranty.Externally biased condenserCardioid or Omni polar pattern using included interchangable capsulesGold sputtered 1/2Ã?ÂÂ? capsuleThree position PAD – 0dB, -10dB and -20dBThree position High-Pass Filter – flat, 75Hz and 150HzSurface mount circuitryLow noiseCertified Matched Pair Pro Audio, Microphones & Wireless Systems, Microphones, Condenser Microphones Rode Microphones J21539 NT55 Matched Pair Rode Microphones, Condenser Microphones |
