MGR/AlexVRode NT5
Published on 03/14/10 at 16:00The Rode NT5 is a small diaphragm condenser mic. I am a student, musician, writer, and pretty good line dancer residing in beautiful Nashville, TN. I've been a drummer and guitar player for the past 10 years of my life and have began engineering and producing in the past 4. I currently play drums for the band Brookline and you can see me rockin' an Orange County Drum and Percussion or Mapex kit decked out with Zildjian K Hybrids.
We purchased these for our studio about 4 years ago for right around $450 for a stereo pair from Sweetwater.
These mics have a wide and accurate frequency response and much like the KM184's, can be used all around the studio - from drum overheads, to acoustic...…

We purchased these for our studio about 4 years ago for right around $450 for a stereo pair from Sweetwater.
These mics have a wide and accurate frequency response and much like the KM184's, can be used all around the studio - from drum overheads, to acoustic guitar. This stereo pair also comes with windshields and mic clips - which I think are more sturdy than the ones that come with KM 184's.
This is not so much a con but something to consider; These mics definitely have a small bit of coloration that some people love and others don't. Make sure the try these out before you buy them!
These are tough little mics and claim to handle over 130 SPL, although I've never tested them at this level. They come with a great protective case and the mic clips are a very thick and sturdy plastic.
Bottom Line? These mics are incredible for home studios and a great back up pair for commercial use. At 1/4 the price of a stereo pair of Neumann KM 184's it is definitely the best value for the price.

yoTrakkzexcellent mic
Published on 10/20/11 at 21:25Excellent Mic. I bought this based upon a friends recommendation to record some scratch tracks for upcoming demos. After working with it, I found it to be very smooth and clean. I now use it for most recordings and highly recommend it to my recording customers. Once they hear the sound (I do use a tube preamp) they are blown away. This mic sounds more like the $2000 - $2500 price range of microphones. You should buy this. I did .... and bought a second! It will be in my mic locker for years to come.
OVERALL OPINION
The Rode NT5 is priced well and affordable for a good mic.. This cost me less than half of the amount of the expensive equipment that I had and I have better recordings...…

OVERALL OPINION
The Rode NT5 is priced well and affordable for a good mic.. This cost me less than half of the amount of the expensive equipment that I had and I have better recordings out of the Rode NT 5 and TC Electronics Desktop Konnekt 6. I can say this because I have Auralex studio foam set up in a closet and I did have the SE Electronics Reflexion Filter when I was using the Neumann TLM 102 and M Audio Profire 610. I have a small closet filled with Auralex studiofoam, with an NT 5, and my Desktop Konnket 6, and I' am more than happy with them! This will save the time and money for the people who are new to home recording and make the people who have wasted money on other equipment more than happy. I suggest taking a intro to audio class for learning how to mix if you are new. It will help you understand the concepts, tools, how & why specific tools are used for mixing and mastering. After that you can learn on your own. It's all about practice. The Rode NT 5 is just one of the models that Rode makes and all of them are pretty good. But the Rode NT 5 will give you the best quality for the price!

I use them for three days on a TL AUDIO C1 and pramp card presonus firebox preamp or RME, I've submitted a bunch of tests and configurations, I am fully satisfied about the results:

- On an upright piano, I just bluff your exact many things pass, and smoothly.
- A folk guitar is perfect, much better than my single BPM CR 73 II
- Making its atmosphere (inside / outside) is Fidler.
You can really have fun with investments, it's a couple prcis, sweet, balanced.
The report quality price (290 euros) is incredible, I worked six months with Neumann KM 184, frankly I do not see the advantage of dpense (both invest in a pair of AKG 414). More reliable and a prcis Oktava. For the price it's really super micro
It's been a few months that I use, my impressions are reinforced Premire day by day.
- They are some of thundering voice (of a coupling bar 50 cm from the source)
- I just use them for interviews, it trsraliste
- The battery is a real rgal, I love: working on making pickups with 6 or 7 they make up a good image and give a stro soft sheen to cymbals / atmosphere into a wall minimal investment and working to get her a stunning (an AKG D112 for the kick and the two NT5 only)
So laid back, always happy!

Pair of condenser microphones blah blah blah ...
See below or visit the product detail.
OVERALL OPINION
I use them for 2 years. I use it mainly to record the sound of amateur theater (which I also filmed: site of the band with extracts from documents ( http://www.grebz.fr/theatre/divers_theatre.php ) ).
My opinion is that I love! I hang above the stage at about 4m high, and from the control, I can hear the actors talk in whispers behind the scenes
Ultra Sensitive ...
This is my first condenser microphones, so I discovered and love.

This is my first condenser microphones, so I discovered and love.
I like their quality of sound reproduction, fidelity, they look very fine, very elegant and also their versatility. I also used to catch the voice or guitar (in atmosphere in the room) and they always give a very good result.
The flip side of their sensitivity is that they do not forgive anything. Any extraneous noise will be faithfully recorded, but the opposite would be unforgivable!
Their price is quite high in absolute terms for an amateur like me, but given the results, I think it's justified (about 300 euros new). They come in a briefcase that looks like electric drills but stored in the foam and thus well protected, with their caps and adapters for microphone stands.
The only thing that bothers me is that you have a phantom power to save. Normal, of course, they are static, but I find it frustrating not being able to use it outside, to shoot a short film or delirium with pals ...
However, with a laptop and a self-powered audio interface (such Alesis I/O2 ( https://en.audiofanzine.com/usb-interface/alesis/io-2/ ) ), it is possible to use outdoors without using a mixer. This is not the easiest or most convenient, but I do with what I have available
I would do without hesitation that choice, especially at this price. The value is excellent!
