DPA 4018C Compact SuperCardioid Microphone

The RODE TF-5 Matched Pair is a set of a perfectly matched set of pencil condenser microphones that delivers amazing detail and warmth. Featuring an all-new capsule, which has been engineered to sub-micron tolerances, giving unprecedented consistency of tone and response. The cardioid polar pattern helps you pick up the source you want and reject the noise you don’t. Making the TF-5 perfect for live sound application as well as in the studio.

The TF-5 features the hallmark clarity and airiness of other RØDE small diaphragm mics, and adds to this a warmth of tone which is often lacking in smaller ‘pencil mics’ of this type, making the TF-5 uniquely versatile.

The precision sonic pairing and beautiful tone of the TF-5 makes it perfect for use as a stereo pair in critical recordings, as well as ideal for capturing the nuances of an individual performance when used as a spot mic.

Imagined, designed and manufactured at RØDE’s state-of-the-art facility in Sydney, Australia, and featuring RØDE’s industry-leading 10-year warranty.

Crafted to perform magnificently in the most critical musical recordings, the TF-5 represents the ultimate expression of RØDE manufacturing expertise, acoustic design and sonic purity. Designed in collaboration with Grammy Award-winning sound engineer Tony Faulkner, the TF-5 sets a new benchmark in high-end microphone performance.
