Introduction

We at RØDE would like to thank you and congratulate 
you on investing in the RØDE NT6 Compact Condenser 
Microphone with Detachable Capsule.

The RØDE NT6 is specifi cally designed for diffi cult 
mounting applications. Although clearly relevant to 
instrument miking, the NT6 is extremely well suited 
to any situation where a small and unobtrusive, yet 
powerful microphone system is required.

The 1/2” (externally biased) gold sputtered capsule is 
designed to attach to a custom made, multi-position 
swivel mount allowing it to be independently positioned 
with ease. The capsule is connected to the remote 
pre-amplifi er (body) by a custom 3m (10’) Kevlar

®

 fi bre 

reinforced cable.

The surface-mount pre-amplifi er circuit also 
incorporates a two position variable PAD with 0 dB and 
-10 dB attenuation, and a two position variable high-
pass fi lter that enables you to step from a fl at response 
to 80Hz high pass fi lter; both conveniently located away 
from the capsule, providing additional control without 
the need to move the capsule once in position.

The NT6 is intended for fi lm, television, broadcast, live 
performance, theatre, surround and environmental 
recording applications, or wherever your imagination 
takes you.

Please take the time to visit www.rodemic.com and 
register your microphone for a full ten year warranty.

While there you can view studio tips and techniques, as 
well as browse the comprehensive range of accessories 
for RØDE microphones.
