Compact 1/2" Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone with HPF and PAD The NT55 utilises the 1/2" gold sputtered true condenser transducer used in the internationally renowned Rode NT5. The NT55 is a low-noise, balanced output microphone, exhibiting a wide dynamic range and full frequency response. The NT55 circuit incorporates a three position variable PAD with 0dB, -10dB or 20dB attenuation, and a thereposition variable high-pass filter that enables you to step from a flat response to 75 or 150 Hz high pass filter. The NT55 comes with two different condenser microphone heads to provide a wide variety of polar patterns. The NT55 is complemented with a diverse range of accessories to better facilitate positioning and attachment.Features: Externally biased condenser Cardioid or Omni polar pattern using included interchangable capsules Gold sputtered 1/2" capsule Three position PAD - 0dB, -10dB and -20dB Three position High-Pass Filter - flat, 75Hz and 150Hz Surface mount circuitry Low noise Available as Certified Matched Pair 10 year extended warranty when you register online at www.rodemic.com/warranty Specifications: Acoustic Principle: Pressure Gradient Active Electronics: JFET impedance converter with bipolar output buffer Capsule: 0.50" Polar Pattern: Cardioid, Omnidirectional Address Type: End Frequency Range: 20Hz - 20kHz Output Impedance: 100Ω Maximum SPL: 136dB SPL (@ 1kHz, 1% THD into 1KΩ load) Maximum Output Level: 8.0dBu (@ 1kHz, 1% THD into 1KΩ load) Sensitivity: -38.0dB re 1 Volt/Pascal (12.60mV @ 94 dB SPL) +/- 2 dB @ 1kHz Power Options: P48 Weight: 110.00gm Dimensions: 145.00mmH x 20.00mmW x 20.00mmD Output: XLR Includes: NT55: Multi-Pattern 1/2" Condenser Microphone NT45-C: Interchangeable Cardioid Capsule NT45-O: Interchangeable Omnidirectional Capsule RM5: Durable Microphone Clip
