Rode NT6

The NT6 small-diaphragm condenser microphone is ingeniously designed to handle the most challenging mounting applications, and is also ideal for any situation where an unobtrusive, yet powerful microphone system is required.

Running on standard 48-volt phantom power, it features a 1/2" gold sputtered true condenser transducer in a compact capsule connected to a heavy-duty nickel-plated body by a custom 3 m Kevlar-reinforced cable. Housed inside the body is a low noise balanced output preamplifier that provides a wide dynamic range and full frequency response.

The surface-mount pre-amplifier circuit also features a 2-position (0 dB and -10 dB) variable pad and a 2-position (flat and 80 Hz) variable high-pass filter so you can make adjustments without disturbing the position of the capsule.

You'll find that this versatile microphone will excel in most every recording application, including film, television, broadcast, theatre, and more. It comes with a plethora of mounting hardware, a windshield, and a zip-up pouch.

• 1/2" (externally biased) gold sputtered true condenser capsule

• Heavy-duty satin-nickel-plated body

• 2-position variable pad: 0 dB and -10 dB

• 2-position variable high-pass filter: flat and 80 Hz

• Surface mount technology

• Low noise

• Wide dynamic range

• Full frequency response

• Supplied complete with 2-axis swivel mount, M5 clip, WS5 (black) wind shield and soft pouch

• Full 2-year guarantee

• Operation power: designed to operate from phantom power to the P48 standard; will operate between 44V and 52V applied with positive polarity to pin 2 and pin 3 of the output XLR connector

• Operation output impedance: will operate satisfactorily into a load impedance as low as 1 kO. If a load below this is used, the output signal level will be reduced; output is balanced between pin 2 (hot) and pin 3 (cold) (Pin 1 is ground)

• Acoustic principle: Externally polarized 1/2" (13mm) pressure gradient condenser

• Directional pattern: Cardioid

• Frequency range: 40 Hz ~ 20,000 Hz selectable HPF @ 80 Hz/12 dB/octave

• Output impedance: 200 Ohms

• Signal noise ratio: 75 dB

• Equivalent noise: 19 dB SPL

• Maximum SPL: 138 dB (@ 1% THD into 1 kO)148 dB (@ 1% THD into 1 kO) - pad at maximum

• Sensitivity: -38 dB re 1 Volt/Pascal (16 mV @ 94 dB SPL) +/- 2 dB

• Dynamic range: 119 dB

• Weight: 386 g (12.41 oz.)

• Maximum output voltage: 6 dBu (@ 1% THD into 1 kO)

• Pin assignment: 3 pin XLR, balanced output between pin 2(+), pin (-) & pin 1 (ground)
