The RØDE NT6 is an ultra-compact 1/2" cardioid condenser microphone designed specifically for awkward mounting positions where the highest sound quality is required.
The NT6 is excellent for recording instruments, and also handles situations that call for an unobtrusive yet powerful microphone, such as location recording.
The microphone is split into two modules connected by a custom 3-metre Kevlar-reinforced cable.
The gold-sputtered condenser capsule head is 45mm long and weighs just 42 grams. The included all-metal multi-position mounting ring offers up to 180 degrees of vertical rotation.
The NT6 preamplifier body has both a high-pass filter and a pad. The high-pass filter removes vibration, rumble and other unwanted sound below 80Hz. The pad gives -10dB of attenuation, useful when recording louder sources.
Its small size makes the NT6 an ideal small-diaphragm cardioid microphone for a mid-side (M/S) stereo setup together with a large-diaphragm figure-8 microphone such as the NT2-A, NT2000 or K2.
