RODE NT5 Matched Pair Paar

RODE NT5 Matched Pair is a premium stereo set of two small-diaphragm condenser microphones designed for detailed, natural instrument and room recording. Each NT5 features a ½-inch gold-sputtered cardioid capsule with transformerless circuitry, delivering clear, accurate sound and excellent transient response. Ideal for acoustic guitars, strings, piano, drum overheads, or orchestral applications.

The matched pair is factory calibrated for identical frequency response and sensitivity, ensuring perfect stereo imaging in X/Y, ORTF, or spaced-pair configurations. The NT5 offers a wide 20 Hz–20 kHz frequency range, low self-noise of 16 dBA, and a high SPL handling capability of 143 dB. With its robust satin-nickel finish and professional accessories, this set is a studio standard for engineers who value precision and reliability.
