TF-5

Premium Small-diaphragm Condenser Cardioids

The TF-5 represents a new standard for small-diaphragm condensers. Offering the hallmark clarity and airiness you’d expect from a world-class ‘pencil’ mic, with a warm, natural character that sets it apart, the TF-5 is uniquely versatile.

Offered in a precision-matched pair, the TF-5 is the perfect microphone for a wide range of applications where incredible accuracy and detail is required, from stereo orchestral recording to capturing the nuances of an individual performance when used as a spot mic.

  • Precision-matched small-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphones
  • Ultra-low noise, flat frequency response
  • Tight cardioid polar pattern
  • Warm, detailed sound
  • Designed in collaboration with Grammy® award winning classical producer and engineer, Tony Faulkner
  • Comes in complete stereo recording kit, including the RØDE Stereo Bar, mic clips and windshields

The New Standard

The TF-5 represents a new standard for small-diaphragm condenser microphones. Its state-of-the-art capsule is precision-engineered to sub-micron tolerances, giving it unprecedented consistency of tone and response. Crafted to perform magnificently in the most demanding musical recording applications, the TF-5 represents the ultimate expression of RØDE’s manufacturing and acoustic design expertise.

Unique Versatility

The TF-5 offers the hallmark clarity and airiness of other small diaphragm microphones and adds to this a warmth that is often lacking in mics of this type, making it uniquely versatile. The TF-5 performs brilliantly in a stereo pair for recording everything from drum and pianos to entire orchestras, or on its own for capturing the nuances of acoustic instruments or percussion.
