Overview

NT55 Multi-Pattern 1/2" Condenser Microphone

Like the NT5, the RØDE NT55 is a small-diaphragm, true-condenser cardioid microphone, sometimes referred to as a 'pencil mic'. The NT55 adds both a three position pad (0, -10dB, -20dB) and three stage high pass filter (Off, 75Hz, 150Hz), and includes the interchangeable NT45-O omnidirectional capsule.

Key Features:

  • Externally biased condenser
  • Cardioid or Omni polar pattern using included interchangable capsules
  • Gold sputtered 1/2” capsule
  • Three position PAD - 0dB, -10dB and -20dB
  • Three position High-Pass Filter - flat, 75Hz and 150Hz
  • Surface mount circuitry
  • Low noise
  • Available as Certified Matched Pair

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. Finished in durable satin nickel, the NT55 available as a single microphone or as an acoustically matched pair. The NT55 is designed and made in Australia, and covered by RØDE's industry leading 10 year warranty.
