RØDE NT5 Premium Half InchSmall-diaphragm Condenser Microphone (Matched Pair) for Music Production and Instrument Recording

Product Information

Of course, it also helps that the M5 mic has a good tonal balance and clarity, along with some rugged mic clips to help you with setup. Possible Problems Um die Vielseitigkeit des NT5 zu erweitern, ist eine austauschbare Kapsel mit Kugelrichtung ( NT45-O) auch separat erhältlich. This compact externally polarized mic, sold in matched pairs, employs a .5" capsule and top-quality components throughout, and is simply awesome in stereo X/Y mic setups.

It depends on the condenser mic and the one that is favorable when used outside. You can also use a shotgun mic, dynamic mic, or other devices that can be of help to you when recording outside. For clear left and right stereo imaging, you want a matched pair of microphones as opposed to buying two single microphones of the same model if you want to get the best sound recording and reproduction.Do you prefer doing stereo recordings with two separate mics or with one dual-capsule mic? With their NT4 and NT5 models, Rode cater for both techniques. Read our article on Audio-Technica AT2020 vs AT2035 Microphone Comparison + Review as well for a valuable resource.

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers. The case is sturdy and plastic, which helps to keep your NT5 safe from any damage, risk, or danger.Well, it depends. Either of them has their specialties. The condenser mic captures more high frequencies and soft sounds while the dynamic mic captures strong sounds and functions well in a live show.

You may also notice that these mics can be sibilant at times as well, and that they’re a little difficult to put into the mount when you’re setting them up. Which One is Better for Traveling? The Rode NT5 does not have a pop filter but it does have a windscreen you can use to prevent some sort of unnecessary side noise. To make things less shaky, using a mic stand is a plus in making your condenser mic sound better. Finally, let your studio or wherever you are recording be a good place for you to record, from the atmosphere to how calm it is everything should be in place.

Conclusion

Even though the Rode M5 doesn’t feature interchangeable capsules, which means that it’s an overall less versatile microphone, I think that it’s a better value. For most people reading this, I think that the Rode M5 just makes a lot more sense, especially if your budget is somewhat tight, which is why I’d recommend it over the NT5… for MOST people. Where the flexibility of two separate mics is preferred, the NT5 offers essentially the same technical specification (with the exception of 9V battery operation) in a pencil mic format. These are supplied as a matched pair, with foam wind shields. Though the NT5 can't work from battery, it can operate on phantom power voltages down to 18V without compromise and even lower at the expense of some sensitivity and headroom. Both the NT4 and NT5 come in rigid, foam-lined plastic cases with mounting clips. I couldn't fault the build quality of the mics, both of which feature impressively machined metalwork finished to a very high standard. A condenser microphone is a microphone with excellent detail and accuracy. It also weighs less and the SP it creates against the diaphragm makes it move and produce an electrical output.
