Thank you for investing in the NT55 studio

condenser microphone.

Whether you’ve purchased this mic on its own, or as a

part of a matched pair set, I’m conﬁ dent that you will

ﬁ nd the NT55 is a masterpiece of small-diaphragm

cardioid-condenser microphone design.

Although clearly relevant to instrument miking, the

NT55 is extremely well suited to situations where a

small ‘unobtrusive’ yet powerful microphone system

is required.

The NT55 utilises the 1/2” (externally biased) gold

sputtered true condenser transducer used in the

internationally renowned RØDE NT5. The NT55,

is a state-of-the-art low noise balanced output

microphone, exhibiting a wide dynamic range and full

frequency response.

The NT55 circuit incorporates a three position variable

PAD with 0, -10 or 20dB attenuation, and a three

position variable high-pass ﬁ lter that enables you to

step from a ﬂ at response to 75 or 150 Hz high pass

ﬁ lter.

The NT55 is intended for ﬁ lm, television, broadcast,

live performance, theatre, surround and environmental

recording applications or wherever your imagination

takes you.

The NT55 comes with two different condenser

microphone heads to provide a wide variety of polar

patterns.
