The NT55 is a small-diaphragm condenser microphone from Røde. The NT55 consists of two pencil microphones that are acoustically matched. The microphones feature a cardioid pickup pattern, which prevents unwanted background noise from being captured, and they are equipped with a bipolar output buffer. They are designed for recording acoustic instruments, drum kits, cymbals, and are perfect for capturing live performances. However, they are also highly suitable for recording dialogue in film productions. The NT55 offers a consistent midrange response as well as additional pad and filter options. In short, the ideal microphones for recording or amplifying instruments!
