USE:
The Rode NT5 S is a small diaphragm condenser mic that has cardioid characteristic and frequency range from 20Hz to 20kHz. It has frequency response mainly flat with little low shelving from 100Hz and high shelving from 4kHz.
SUMMARY:
These mic can give you the kind of performance that far exceeds what you'd expect from condensers at this price range. The NT5 S is an excellent mic for recording practically any instrument and voice too.
PROS:
1- Comes with windshield, standmount and case.
2- Full frequency response.
3- Low self noise.
4- Excelent price from Thomann.
5- Can work with the NT45-O interchangeable omnidirectional capsule.
6- Freedom to use it live or studio.
7- The built in quality will surprise you, from home to studio projects, this is a professional mic.
8- The amazing 10 year warranty from Rode when registered!
OPINION:
I ordered this mic from Thomann because i wanted to record my acoustic fingerstyle guitar EP with mid-side technique. In conjunction with the Rode NT2-A, the Rode NT5 S is the best addiction you can have. Same brand from the same store, super quality!
I recommend you not to mod this mic because you'll loose the Rode warranty. If you are so concerned about its sound, you can search for other alternatives such the recording mic positioning, room treatment, plugins or even your guitar/whatever.
Go for it, i'll never regret and you'll never sell it :)
