Rode NTR Active Ribbon Microphone

The NTR couples the legacy and history of microphone technology with the latest in precision manufacturing innovations to deliver one of the world’s finest ribbon microphones. Featuring world-class active electronics and a revolutionary ribbon design delivering extended high-frequency response and sensitivity, the NTR is not your average ribbon microphone.

Hearing is Believing
Traditionally, ribbon microphones have a particular sonic character that excels in certain applications – for example, recording strings or electric guitar amps. The NTR shares this sonic heritage but offers a unique character that yields spectacular results in almost any application. Thanks to its revolutionary design, the NTR offers an extended high-frequency response and sensitivity that sets it apart, making it ideal for applications far beyond that of a ‘traditional’ ribbon microphone, from vocals and guitar to orchestral recording and even drums. Hearing is believing.

The Ribbon
At 1.8 microns, the NTR’s ribbon is one of the thinnest in existence, delivering high sensitivity and an extended frequency response that is unique to the microphone. Using proprietary laser technology, the ribbon is cut with unprecedented precision, eliminating the micro-tears associated with mechanical cutting. This results in smoother edges and increased longevity. It is also shaped with acoustically optimised corrugations for enhanced performance and the ribbon is mounted with an ultra-high-quality internal shock mount that renders external shock mounting obsolete.
