Whenever Rode comes out with a new microphone, we take notice. This NAMM, they were showing not just one but two new additions to their NT family of mics, the NT4 and the NT5. The NT4 is a pretty interesting mic. It’s a stereo mic with dual 90° XY placed, externally polarized single-diaphragm condenser transducers. Because of its unique design, this cardioid (per capsule) mic sounds as pristine as it is different and delivers a great stereo sound every time it is used. As clean sounding as its NT4 cousin, the NT5 sounds as clean as its NT4 cousin and uses the same cardioid pattern condenser, but without the dual head design. Output Impedance: 200per side, Frequency Response: 20Hz – 20kHz.
