Rode NT5 Matched Pair Cardioid Studio Condenser Microphones
The NT5-MP is a factory-matched pair of NT5 pencil condensers, each built around a 1/2 inch gold-sputtered cardioid capsule. The two mics are acoustically matched so they track identically, which is what stereo techniques demand: X/Y and spaced-pair recording of drum overheads, acoustic guitar, piano, choir, and room ambience all depend on the two channels behaving the same.
Very low self-noise and an accurate cardioid pattern give clean, detailed captures with tight off-axis rejection. The pair ships with two RM5 mic clips, two WS5 windshields, and a ZP1 zip pouch, and carries a 10-year warranty.
