The Best Microphone For
Live shows and Overhead Recording
Do you need a versatile microphone to record vocals, instrument overhead & ambience?
But you only afford 1 to 2 microphone to use for recording everything?
Introducing:
RODE NT5
Single Small Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone

The NT5 is RØDE's premier small-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone, sometimes referred to as a 'pencil mic'.
Intended for recording acoustic instruments, drum overheads, cymbals and live performances, the compact externally polarized mic employs a 1/2" capsule, an active J-FET impedance converter with bipolar output buffer.
Its tight cardioid pickup pattern also makes it ideal for use as an indoor dialogue microphone for filmmaking on a mic stand or boom.
