Rode NT55 Microphone

RODE NT55 Microphone

The NT55 utilises the 1/2" gold sputtered true condenser transducer used in the internationally renowned RODE 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 thereposition 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.

• Externally biased condenser
• Gold sputtered 1/2" capsule
• Three position PAD - 0dB, -10dB and -20dB
• Three position High-Pass Filter - flat, 75Hz and 150Hz
• Cardioid or Omni polar pattern using interchangeable capsules
• Heavy-duty satin-nickel plated body
• Surface mount circuitry
• Low noise
• Full frequency response

Also available as a matched pair.
