Rode NT6
Compact Condenser Microphone

The Rode NT6 is specifically designed for difficult mounting applications. Although clearly relevant to instrument mic'ing, the new NT6 is extremely well suited to any situation where a small unobtrusive but powerful microphone system is required.

The NT6 utilizes the 1/2" (externally biased) gold sputtered true condenser transducer. The capsule is designed to attach to a custom made, multi-position swivel mount allowing it to be independently positioned with ease.

To further increase the versatility of the NT6, it is supplied with 2 thread adaptors - 1/4" to 5/8" and 1/4" to 3/8" that enable the capsule assembly to be securely attached to a wide variety of mic stands, tripods and boom poles.

The capsule is connected to the pre-amplifier by a custom 3 m Kevlar® fiber reinforced cable. Housed within the heavy duty satin-nickel-plated body, is a state-of-the-art low noise balanced output preamplifier, exhibiting a wide dynamic range and full frequency response.

The surface-mount pre-amplifier circuit also incorporates a 2-position variable pad: 0 dB an -10 dB attenuation, and a 2-position variable high-pass filter that enables you to step from a flat response to 80 Hz high pass filter; both conveniently located away from the capsule, providing additional control without the need to move the capsule once in position.

Designed to operate from phantom power to the P48 standard, the NT6 will operate between 44V and 52V applied with positive polarity to pin 2 and pin 3 of the output XLR connector.

The NT6 comes supplied with microphone preamp, capsule, 3 m Kevlar® fiber reinforced cable, stand mount, 2-axis swivel mount, 2 thread adaptors, zip pouch and wind shield.
