The RODE NT45-C is an interchangeable cardioid condenser capsule designed for use with compatible RØDE small-diaphragm condenser microphones. It allows engineers and creators to easily switch between different pickup patterns without replacing the entire microphone body. The NT45-C delivers focused, natural sound capture with excellent off-axis rejection — ideal for studio, stage, and field applications.
