A typical use of the NT5 would be as drum overheads or recording high-hats. We&#8217;ve found that they are detailed and very clear, and with just a tiny bit of compression they sound great. If you prefer the positioning flexibility afforded by a pair of small-diaphragm mics, then the NT5 is an easy choice. If you&#8217;re lookng for a great-sounding, and very affordable single small-diaphragm condenser mic, the Rode NT5-S is a single NT5. Small-diaphragm condenser mics such as the NT5-S have an even and wider frequency response than large diaphragm condensers, handle higher SPLs, and can more accurately capture instruments with a pronounced high-frequency component (violins, for instance).<\/p>\n<p><b>Rode NT5-S Specifications:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Acoustic Principle: Externally polarised single diaphragm<\/li>\n<li>condenser transducer.<\/li>\n<li>Capsule Size: 0.5&#8243; (13mm).<\/li>\n<li>Active Electronics: JFET Impedance converter with bipolar<\/li>\n<li>output buffer.<\/li>\n<li>Directional Response: Cardioid.<\/li>\n<li>Frequency Response: 20Hz to 20kHz.<\/li>\n<li>Sensitivity: -38 dB re 1v\/Pa +\/- 2 dB equivalent to 12mV\/Pa<\/li>\n<li>where 1 Pa = 94dBSPL.<\/li>\n<li>Equivalent Noise: &lt;16 dBSPL, (A-weighted per IEC268-15).<\/li>\n<li>Maximum Output: +13.9 dBu @ 1% THD into 1k_<\/li>\n<li>Dynamic Range: &gt;128 dB.<\/li>\n<li>Maximum SPL: 143 dB @ 1% THD into 1k_<\/li>\n<li>Signal to Noise: 78dB.<\/li>\n<li>Requires phantom power, +38V to +52 V<\/li>\n<li>P24 Supply (20V-26V) The microphone operates in accordance with the above specifications to a minimum of 18V.
