Rode NT5-S Single Instrument Condenser Microphone

The NT5 is a small-diaphragm RØDE cardioid condenser microphone, sometimes referred to as a "pencil microphone". Designed primarily for recording acoustic instruments, drums and live performances, this compact externally polarized microphone uses a 1/2 "capsule, an active J-FET impedance transducer with a bipolar output bin with a durable satin-nickel surface. NT5 is designed for stand-alone use or as acoustically tuned pair of stereo X / Y microphones Package includes: RM5 microphone holder, ZP1 case and WS5 pop filter.
