Rode TF-5 MATCHED PAIR Cardioid Condenser Microphones with Stereo Mount (TF5)
The Rode's TF-5 MATCHED PAIR is a matched pair of small-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone designed for sound transparency, excellent stereo imaging, and unobtrusive positioning. It can accurately represent the shifting timbre and dynamic range of any source, whether you're recording symphonic instruments, piano, acoustic guitar, percussion, or drums. Each microphone's precision-engineered capsule also uses a cardioid polar pattern to improve directionality and reduce ambient noise. It further handle high SPLs up to 120 dB while producing a wide, flat frequency response with little noise, thanks in part to the JFET active electronics. The mics won't suffer from performance deterioration due to exhausted batteries with its 48V phantom power. The included mic clips and SB20 stereo bar, which has angle/measurement indicators for ORTF and X/Y setups, can be used to connect both TF-5 mics to a single mic stand. Even better, the mic housings are small and light, ensuring a balanced setup with a range of microphones.
