I bought this Rode NT5 SDC mic mainly based on many favorable reviews and on my personal experience with the Rode NT3. I have had no opportunity yet to put it through any serious testing. My inicial impressions, based mainly on classical nylon string guitar recordings, have been quite positive. I have only one mic now and plan on buying another one to form a stereo pair and also, I would like to get the omnidirectional capsule, because I do mostly classical recordings, in halls with good acoustics. I think it compares very favorably with other affordable SD condensers, but have not yet tested it against the big boys in the trade, such as Neumann KM84, AKG C451, etc. In my relatively limited tests so far, it has done what it is supposed to do and I have not been disappointed with it in the least. I will certainly do further testing and report about them in the future. My only complaint is that they do not come with an omnidirectional capsule, but that can be purchased separately any time, though at a comparatively expensive price, some $90.00 extra expenditure. All in all, a very worthwhile Small Diaphragm Mic in todays market.Read full review
Can't beat the clarity of this stereo pair for 300 dollars. They arrived brand new for all I can see and hear. Very happy with these for overheads and acoustic instruments.

Cleanest SDCs you can get at this price range and are indispensable as overheads, on acoustic guitars and winded instruments. The beginner and professional audio engineer needs a pair of these. I have never found such good overhead tones with any other mic pair than I have found with these in the first five minutes of use. Get a pair.
It’s a great condenser mic and I’m loving it.!
