Rode NTR Studio Ribbon Microphone

Featuring a wide 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response, the NTR Active Ribbon Microphone from Rode is based around a sensitive 1.8-micron-thick ribbon element that's suspended in an internal shock mounting system to reduce internal noise. It is capable of handling up to 130 dB of SPL, providing versatility in what sources can be placed in front of the mic. A ribbon-securing travel screw in included to help protect the element when transporting the mic.
