Rode NT6 Compact Condenser Microphone The NT6 is a small-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone with a remote capsule, specifically designed for difficult mounting applications where the highest quality audio is required. The microphone is split into two modular components that are connected via a custom 3-meter shielded, Kevlar-reinforced cable. The head features a 1/2-inch gold-sputtered condenser capsule with a multi-position mounting ring that provides 180 degrees of vertical rotation. The body houses the microphone preamp, which features a high-pass filter (80Hz) and a -10dB pad. Key Features: Premium small-diaphragm condenser microphone with remote capsule 1/2-inch gold-sputtered Two-stage pad, two-stage high-pass filter Ideal for difficult mounting applications Miniature Detached Capsule and Body A 10' Kevlar-reinforced microphone cable joins the miniature capsule and output stage. This design provides endless mounting possibilities on instruments, the ability to capture room ambiance, and more. Swivel Mount The 2-position swivel mount allows both horizontal and vertical pivoting of the capsule for accurate positioning. Also included are 2 thread adapters (1/4" to 5/8" and 1/4" to 3/8") which enable attachment to virtually any microphone stand. Cardioid Polar Pattern The cardioid polar pattern effectively suppresses off-axis audio, reducing residual noise caused by ambiance and feedback. Low-Frequency Roll-Off A low-frequency roll-off switch eliminates noise and rumble below 80 Hz. -10 dB Pad Switch A -10 dB pad switch provides added headroom for capturing signals that exhibit excessive levels and transients. The pad allows these signals to be captured without noise caused by distortion and overload.
