Rode NT5-MP

RODE NT5 MP Matched Pair - Compact Cardioid Condenser MicrophonesCapture your sound with breathtaking accuracy and perfect stereo imaging using the RODE NT5 MP, a masterfully selected matched pair of premium small-diaphragm condenser microphones. Often referred to as ´pencil mics´, the NT5 is the industry standard for recording acoustic instruments... more, drum overheads, cymbals, and live performances. This factory-matched pair ensures a seamless and cohesive stereo field, making it the definitive choice for audio professionals and discerning musicians who demand precision and clarity.The heart of each NT5 microphone is a 1/2-inch gold-sputtered true-condenser capsule, engineered to deliver a full frequency response with exceptional detail and transparency. The tight cardioid polar pattern is ideal for isolating the sound source while effectively rejecting unwanted off-axis noise and feedback, ensuring your recordings are clean, focused, and free from room ambience. Whether you´re capturing the delicate nuances of a fingerpicked acoustic guitar, the shimmering decay of a ride cymbal, or the rich texture of a string ensemble, the NT5 pair provides a beautifully balanced and realistic sound reproduction.Key Benefits:* Perfect Stereo Imaging: Each NT5 MP set is acoustically matched to within ±0.5dB sensitivity, guaranteeing a perfectly balanced and immersive stereo recording. This precision is essential for professional X/Y, ORTF, and spaced-pair miking techniques.* Exceptional Audio Clarity: With its low-noise, surface-mount circuitry and premium condenser capsule, the NT5 captures every detail with minimal self-noise, resulting in pristine, studio-quality audio.* Versatile Recording Applications: An indispensable tool in any microphone locker, the NT5 excels on a wide array of sources, including acoustic guitar, flute, violin, piano, drum overheads, percussion, and as a choir microphone.* Built for Durability: Featuring a heavy-duty, satin-nickel plated body, the NT5 microphones are engineered to withstand the rigors of both studio and stage environments, ensuring reliable performance for years to come.Main Features:* Externally biased 1/2-inch gold-sputtered condenser capsule* Acoustically matched pair for superior stereo recording* Focused cardioid polar pattern for excellent sound isolation* Low-noise JFET impedance converter with bipolar output buffer* Durable and robust satin-nickel plated body* Full frequency response from 20Hz to 20kHz* Complete kit includes two microphones, RM5 stand mounts, WS5 windshields, and a custom hard-shell carry caseAttribute: MicrophonesTechnical Specifications:* Acoustic Principle: Pressure Gradient* Active Electronics: JFET impedance converter with bipolar output buffer* Capsule: 0.50* Polar Pattern: Cardioid* Frequency Range: 20Hz - 20kHz* Output Impedance: 100Ω* Maximum SPL: 143dB SPL* Maximum Output Level: 13.9dBu ( 1kHz, 1% THD into 1KΩ load)* Sensitivity: -38.0dB re 1 Volt/Pascal (12.00mV 94 dB SPL) +/- 2
