Introduction
Thank you for investing in the
NT55 studio
condenser microphone.
Whether you’ve purchased this mic on its own, or as a
part of a matched pair set, I’m confi dent that you will
fi nd the NT55 is a masterpiece of small-diaphragm
cardioid-condenser microphone design.
Although clearly relevant to instrument miking, the
NT55 is extremely well suited to situations where a
small ‘unobtrusive’ yet powerful microphone system is
required.
The NT55 utilises the 1/2” (externally biased) gold
sputtered true condenser transducer used in the
internationally renowned RØDE NT5. The NT55, is a
state-of-the-art low noise balanced output microphone,
exhibiting a wide dynamic range and full frequency
response.
The NT55 circuit incorporates a three position variable
PAD with 0, -10 or 20dB attenuation, and a three position
variable high-pass fi lter that enables you to step from a
fl at response to 75 or 150 Hz high pass fi lter.
The NT55 is intended for fi lm, television, broadcast,
live performance, theatre, surround and environmental
recording applications or wherever your imagination
takes you.
The NT55 comes with two different condenser
microphone heads to provide a wide variety of polar
patterns.
