The Rode NT55 Studio Condenser Microphone offers true studio sound, perfect for capturing acoustic instruments, drum overheads, and more. With its externally biased condenser and 0.5″ gold-sputtered diaphragm, it provides warm audio capture and a wide frequency response for recording every detail. It also features two selectable polar patterns – cardioid for reducing background noise and omnidirectional for capturing room sound. Additionally, the NT55 is built with a robust nickel-plated body to withstand knocks and drops, and it comes with included microphone heads and a mic clip for convenience. Overall, it provides everything you need for professional audio recording.
When it comes to recording audio, flexibility is key, and the NT55 is designed with performance and practicality in mind. It allows you to tailor your microphone to fit the specific application, whether it’s recording instruments in the studio, dialogue in a vocal booth, or a performance in the field. It features a three-position pad to prevent distortion from high-output sources and a three-stage high-pass filter to control unruly frequencies. These features ensure high-fidelity sound that is suitable for any professional project. The package includes the NT55 Condenser Microphone, a microphone clip, and two microphone heads.
The NT55 offers many useful features, including its warm sound from an externally biased condenser and its ability to capture every detail with its gold-sputtered 1/2″ capsule. It also has a three-position PAD switch to prevent peaks and clipping, and a three-position high-pass filter to tame low frequencies. With its wide flat frequency response, it is suitable for vocals and instruments. The microphone has a cardioid polar pattern to reduce background noise and feedback, and an omnidirectional polar pattern to capture the sound of the room. Its heavy-duty nickel-plated body ensures durability during busy studio sessions, and its surface mount circuitry enhances performance. It operates with low noise, providing the clearest sound possible.
Technical specifications of the NT55 include power requirements of P48 (48V) phantom supply, a pressure gradient acoustic principle, and a frequency range of 20 Hz – 20 kHz (with selectable high-pass filter). It has an output impedance of 100 ohms, a signal-to-noise ratio of 79 dB SPL (A-weighted per IEC651), and an equivalent noise level of 15dBA SPL (A-weighted per IEC651). The microphone can handle a maximum SPL of 136dB SPL (@ 1kHz, 1% THD into 1K ohm load) and has a maximum output voltage of +8dBu (@ 1kHz, 1% THD into 1K ohm load). Its sensitivity is -38 dB re 1 Volt/Pascal (12 mV @ 94 dB SPL) +/- 2 dB @ 1kHz. The dimensions of the microphone are 145mm (H) x 20mm (W) x 20mm (D) and it weighs 110g.
