Rode NTR Active Ribbon Microphone - Black

The Rode NTR is a premium active ribbon microphone that combines the smooth, natural character of classic ribbon technology with modern active electronics for increased sensitivity, detail and versatility. Its extended frequency response makes it suitable for vocals, guitar amplifiers, strings, brass, orchestral recording, drums and room microphone applications.

Ultra-Thin Ribbon Performance

At just 1.8 microns thick, the NTR's precision-manufactured ribbon element responds quickly to subtle sonic detail while delivering the warm, smooth character associated with premium ribbon microphones.

Active Electronics for Greater Flexibility

A custom low-noise transformer and audiophile-grade active electronics provide a strong output signal, allowing the NTR to work effectively with a wider range of microphone preamps than many traditional passive ribbon designs.

Built-In Shock Isolation

The ribbon element is internally shock-mounted to isolate it from mechanical vibration, reducing the need for a bulky external shock mount and helping maintain clean recordings.

Why Buy the NTR?

For studios looking for classic ribbon warmth without the gain and high-frequency limitations often associated with traditional ribbon microphones, the NTR offers a highly sensitive active design with exceptional detail and broad recording versatility.
