The RODE NT4 is a single-point X/Y stereo condenser microphone with low-noise electronics and a crisp, detailed sound. Two small diaphragm capsules sit at the top of the NT4, crossed at 90 degrees for a picture-perfect X/Y stereo array. Powered by standard phantom power or even a 9V battery, and shipped with mini-jack and dual XLR cables, the NT4 is a great solution for portable recording of live shows, band practice, or sound effects in the field.
