Stereo Recording From RODE!
The RODE NT4 is a striking microphone that solves the age-old problem of affordable stereo miking, eliminating the need for purchasing matched pairs of expensive mics to get professional results!

Thanks to the RODE NT4's true stereo condenser design, clever X/Y configuration, and perfectly matched capsules, the NT4 lets you record any stereo source with immaculate detail.

If you prefer, check out the RODE NT5 for a matched pair without dual head design.

RODE NT4 Included Accessories:
  • Custom Carry Case
  • WS4 twin-head Wind Shield
  • RM3 Stand Mount plus 3/8" - 5/8" Thread Adapter

RODE NT4 Features:
  • Stereo XY Condenser Microphone
  • 2 X Externally biased 1/2" Capsules with gold sputtered diaphragm
  • Capsules closely matched with full frequency response
  • Phantom power or 9V battery operation
  • Durable satin-nickel finish
  • Custom stereo cables (included) dual XLR and mini stereo jack
  • Custom WS4 twin-head Wind Shield
  • Surface-mount transformerless circuitry
  • Complete with Custom Carry Case and RM3 Stand Mount



A Few Thoughts On XY Stereo Recording
The stereo image is produced by the off-axis attenuation of the cardioid microphones. While A-B stereo is a difference-in-time-stereo, the XY stereo is a difference-in-level stereo. But as the off-axis attenuation of a typical cardioid microphone is only around 6dB at 90 degrees, the channel separation is limited, and wide stereo images are not possible with this recording method. Therefore, XY stereo is often used where high mono-compatibility is needed - for example, in broadcasting situations where many listeners still receive the audio on mono equipment. Since the sound-sources are mainly picked up off-axis when using the XY stereo setup, high demands are placed on the off-axis response of the microphones used.

“This mic loses 1/2 a star because it's a fixed X/Y configuration and that means reduced flexibility of placement. However, then again, if you buy a NT4 then you know that this is what it is and you have a need for a no-fuss quality piece of kit.

I have been using this mic for field recordings (9V internal power) for film FX/ambient sound and foley (48 V phantom). In both cases it...” Read More

Sweetwater Expert Advice
 
  "The Rode NT4 is a highly affordable stereo microphone that does not compromise on sound quality. It is quiet enough to pick up the quietest of string quartets yet durable enough to sit over a slammin', rocking-drummer. I recommend the NT4 because it sounds great, affordable and built to last."
Brad Lyons
