Introduction

We at RØDE would like to thank you and congratulate
you on investing in the RØDE NT6 Compact Condenser
Microphone with Detachable Capsule.

The RØDE NT6 is specifi cally designed for diffi cult
mounting applications. Although clearly relevant to
instrument miking, the NT6 is extremely well suited
to any situation where a small and unobtrusive, yet
powerful microphone system is required.

The 1/2” (externally biased) gold sputtered capsule is
designed to attach to a custom made, multi-position
swivel mount allowing it to be independently positioned
with ease. The capsule is connected to the remote
pre-amplifi er (body) by a custom 3m (10’) Kevlar
reinforced cable.

The surface-mount pre-amplifi er circuit also
incorporates a two position variable PAD with 0 dB and

-10 dB attenuation, and a two position variable high­pass fi lter that enables you to step from a fl at response
to 80Hz high pass fi lter; both conveniently located away
from the capsule, providing additional control without
the need to move the capsule once in position.

fi bre

The NT6 is intended for fi lm, television, broadcast, live
performance, theatre, surround and environmental
recording applications, or wherever your imagination
takes you.

Please take the time to visit www.rodemic.com and
register your microphone for a full ten year warranty.

While there you can view studio tips and techniques, as
well as browse the comprehensive range of accessories
