Externally biased condenser Gold sputtered 1/2” capsule Heavy-duty satin-nickel plated body Dual power operation Surface mount circuitry Low noise Full frequency response Available as Certified Match Pair 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.   NT5 Specifications Acoustic Principle Pressure Gradient Active Electronics JFET impedance converter with bipolar output buffer Capsule 0.50" Polar Pattern Cardioid Address Type End Frequency Range 20Hz - 20kHz Output Impedance 100Ω Maximum SPL 143dB SPL (@ 1kHz, 1% THD into 1KΩ load) Maximum Output Level 13.9mV Sensitivity -38.0dB re 1 Volt/Pascal (12.00mV @ 94 dB SPL) +/- 2 dB @ 1kHz Equivalent Noise Level (A-weighted) 16dB-A Power Options +24V phantom power+48V phantom power Weight 101.00gm Dimensions 118.00mmH x 20.00mmW x 20.00mmD Output XLR Output  IN THE BOX: NT5 x 2 Compact 1/2" Cardioid Condenser Microphone RM5 x 2 Durable Microphone Clip Rugged Microphone Case WS5 x 2 Pop Filter/Wind Shield
