RODE NT55 Condenser Mic + XLR Lead

RODE NT55 Condenser Mic + XLR Lead

Although clearly relevant to instrument micing, the NT55 is extremely well suited to situations where a small ‘unobtrusive’ but powerful microphone system is required.

The NT55 utilises the 1/2” (externally biased) gold sputtered true condenser transducer used in the internationally renowned RØDE NT5. The NT55, is a state-of-the-art low noise balanced output microphone, exhibiting a wide dynamic range and full frequency response.

The NT55 circuit incorporates a 3-position variable pad: 0, -10 or 20dB attenuation, and a 3 -position variable high-pass filter that enables you to step from a flat response to 75 or 150 Hz high pass filter.

The NT55 is intended for Film, Television, Broadcast, Live Performance, Theatre, Surround and Environmental recording applications or wherever your imagination takes you.

The NT55 comes with 2 different condenser microphone heads to provide a wide variety of polar patterns. The NT55 is complemented with a diverse range of accessories to better facilitate positioning and attachment.
