Rode NT55 Compact 1/2-Inch Cardioid and Omnidirectional Condenser Microphone

The NT55 utilizes the 1/2" gold sputtered true condenser transducer used in the internationally renowned RØDE NT5. The NT55 is a low-noise, balanced output microphone, exhibiting a wide dynamic range and full frequency response. The NT55 circuit incorporates a three position variable PAD with 0dB, -10dB or 20dB attenuation, and a three position variable high-pass filter that enables you to step from a flat response to 75 or 150 Hz high pass filter. The NT55 comes with two 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.

Features:

• Interchangeable Capsules - Omnidirectional and cardioid capsules are included for added flexibility.
• 3-Position Pad Switch - 0, -10 and -20 dB pad switch enhances headroom and minimizes distortion.
• 3-Position Low-Frequency Roll-Off - Flat, 75, and 150 Hz roll-off filter switch minimizes low-frequency noise.
