Twin Tower Recording Mics!
The Rode NT5 are gaining quite a reputation of quality that far exceeds what you'd expect from mics at this price point. As sonically pleasing as their NT4 cousin, the NT5 matched pair uses the same cardioid pattern condenser as the NT4, but without the dual head design. The NT5 are excellent mics for recording practically any instrument - guitar, flute, violin, saxophone, drums, etc. The NT5s have become a staple of many project and pro studios for overhead drum miking.
Rode NT5 At-a-Glance:
- Versatile
- Huge bang-for-the-buck
Versatile The NT5 come as a matched pair to handle a variety of stereo miking needs. The NT5s have been seen parked over drumkits in countless studios of all calibers. The extremely flat frequency response has just a little dip in the low frequencies with small bumps in the presence range, making it a good all-around mic choice for anything from acoustic guitars to violin.
Huge bang-for-the-buck
The NT5 come as a matched stereo pair. And since you get two of these beauties for what a single condenser normally retails for, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better deal for a matched pair. Rode has built their reputation on cost-effective, but great sounding mics, and the NT5 is no exception.

 Killer Sound For A Killer Price
by Ben Balser, ACT from New Orleans, Louisiana, February 17, 2008
Music Background: Media Producer, Consultant, Trainer, Author, Composer
“I do broadcast and video production projects. There are often times when we record local bands and there's no feed from the mixing board, or there are orchestra (big band to quartet and the like) instruments that aren't mic'ed. Using the NT5 to get great quality live sound is simply amazing. I thought we'd have to go with a much more expensive rig than this, but nope, these little puppies are...” Read More

"I bought these mics to "hold me over" until I could afford some of the more expensive small diaphragm condensers, and was absolutely amazed at how good they sound! I find myself using the NT5s more than I would have ever imagined, and loving the results. When I need a bright and detailed signal, these mics perform exceptionally well. Given the price, you owe it to yourself to give these a shot. I'm sure that you will be every bit as pleased with the results."

"Really stunning sound quality for the money. You have to spend several times the price of these mics to get a small diaphragm condenser that performs even a little bit better."

"The Rode NT5 never ceases to amaze me with its versatility and quality. I've used this in the studio and on the stage for guitars, pianos, voice, accordion, sax... you name it. Everything comes through the way it's supposed to - and with a light touch of flattery. Also, the low-end response is mighty impressive for such small capsules. If microphones were spices, this one would be cumin - you can put it on EVERYTHING. And at this price, you'll practically feel like you stole it. Bottom line - you WILL NOT go wrong with the NT5. "

"These have been my go to mics for recording acoustic guitar basically since I found out that they existed. At $430 for a matched pair these things have got to be one of the best values in microphones that I've ever seen. Rode has really figured out a way to pack in more bang for the buck than any of their competitors out there and the NT5s are no exception."
