The NT6 utilises the 1/2 in. (externally biased) gold sputtered true condenser transducer used in the internationally renowned Rode NT5. 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 in. to 5/8 in. and 1/4 in. to 3/8 in. 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 (body) by a custom 3 m Kevlar fibre 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.

The NT6 is intended for Film, Television, Broadcast, Live Performance, Theatre, Television, Surround and Environmental recording applications or wherever your imagination takes you.

The NT6 is produced in Rode's design and manufacturing facility in Sydney, Australia. Utilising state of the art computer controlled machining and assembly technologies, Rode is able to achieve levels of finish and repeatability of the most exacting standards and tolerances.

The NT6 comes supplied with Microphone Preamp (Body), Capsule, 3 m Kevlar fibre reinforced cable, RM5 Stand Mount, 2-axis Swivel Mount, 2 thread adaptors, ZP1 Zip Pouch and WS5 Wind Shield and is coverd by a full 2 years parts an labor guarantee.

Technical Info

Operation Power: The NT6 is 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.
Operation output impedance:

Output Impedance: The NT6 will operate satisfactorily into a load impedance as low as 1k ohms. If a load below this is used, the output signal level will be reduced. The NT6 output is balanced between pin 2 (hot) and pin 3 (cold). Pin 1 is ground.
