RØDE TF-5 MP

According to RØDE, the TF-5 represents a new standard in small diaphragm condenser microphones, and it is unrivaled in terms of airiness and clarity, with a warmth that makes it uniquely versatile.

RØDE goes onto say that the diaphragm condenser microphone has precision sonic matching and the beautiful tone of the TF-5 makes it perfect for recording detailed and natural-sounding performances when used as a stereo pair, or for capturing the nuances of a soloist when used as a spot mic.

The precision-engineered capsule of each microphone employs a cardioid polar pattern to enhance directionality and reduce ambiance. By utilizing JFET active electronics, the microphones are able to handle high SPLs up to 120 dB while delivering a wide, flat frequency response with low noise.

Being 48V phantom powered, the mics aren't subject to performance degradation caused by drained batteries.

You can attach both TF-5 mics to a single mic stand via the supplied mic clips and SB20 stereo bar, which features angle/measurement indicators for ORTF and X/Y configurations. The compact, lightweight mic housings ensure a balanced setup with a variety of mic stands from compact to heavy duty. Windscreens are included to reduce noise from wind or HVAC systems.
