This is a compact condenser microphone, with a remote pre-amplifier, specifically designed for difficult mounting applications. Although relevant to instrument applications, the NT6 is suited to many applications where an unobtrusive microphone is required. For example, the small form-factor makes it suitable for use in a mid-side (M/S) stereo array, in combination with a figure-8 microphone such as the Rode NT2-A, NT2000 or K2.
With a 1/2 inch cardioid condenser capsule, the NT6 head is 20mm in diameter, and 45mm long and weighs only 42gm. It is is connected to the body via the included 3 metre shielded, Kevlar-reinforced cable; an all-metal, multi-position mounting-ring provides 180 degrees of vertical rotation. The preamplifier has switches for an 80 Hz high-pass filter and a -10dB attenuator. XLR-3 connector, 48V, 24V phantom powering.
