RODE NT55 Compact Condenser Microphone (Single Microphone) Rode SKU: NT55 | Helix SKU: RMNT55 Overview Compact 1/2" cardioid and omni condenser microphone.  Externally biased condenser Cardioid or Omni polar pattern using included interchangable capsules Gold sputtered 1/2” capsule Three position PAD - 0dB, -10dB and -20dB Three position High-Pass Filter - flat, 75Hz and 150Hz Surface mount circuitry Low noise Available as Certified Matched Pair 10 year extended warranty when you register your microphone   Like the NT5, the RØDE NT55 is a small-diaphragm, true-condenser cardioid microphone, sometimes referred to as a 'pencil mic'. The NT55 adds both a three position pad (0, -10dB, -20dB) and three stage high pass filter (Off, 75Hz, 150Hz), and includes the interchangeable NT45-O omnidirectional capsule. Intended for recording acoustic instruments, drum overheads, cymbals and live performances, the compact externally polarized mic employs a 1/2" capsule, an active J-FET impedance converter with bipolar output buffer. Its tight cardioid pickup pattern also makes it ideal for use as an indoor dialogue microphone for filmmaking on a mic stand or boom. Finished in durable satin nickel, the NT55 available as a single microphone or as an acoustically matched pair. The NT55 is designed and made in Australia, and covered by RØDE's industry leading 10 year warranty.
