Rode NT55 Microphone - matched pair

True studio sound. Rode NT55 Studio Condenser Microphones let you capture acoustic instruments, drum overheads, and more with clarity and precision. Enjoy warm audio capture from two externally biased condensers. Whether you're on stage or in the studio, 0.5" gold sputtered diaphragms offer a wide frequency response, so you can record every single detail.

No hassle. No hard work. Just clear, uncoloured sound. NT55s offer flexibility with two polar patterns selectable. Reduce unwanted background noise with the cardioid pickup, or capture the sound of your room with the omnidirectional pattern. What's more, low self-noise ensures clear sound, wherever you record.

From studio recording to filmmaking, NT55s are ready for action with a robust nickel-plated body. Knocks, drops, scratches, and scrapes will never get in the way of your session. What's more, the included microphone heads and mic clip let you get to work straight out of the box. With NT55s, you've got everything you need for pro-audio.
