If you want that "being in the room with the music" feeling in your recordings, the way to achieve that is with an omnidirectional microphone. If you already have a RODE NT6, NT4, NT5, NT5-S, or NT55 cardioid microphone and don"t want to spring for another microphone, RODE offers the NT45-O capsule as an alternative, which will work with the aforementioned RODE microphones. The RODE NT45 capsules offer a selection of frequency responses and polar patterns in a useful and simple to use interchangeable format. The capsules are designed for studio recording, live sound reinforcement, and any application where sound quality and mounting flexibility are required. Designed and manufactured in Australia, the NT45-O capsule offers high SPL capabilities with low distortion and noise.
