The TF-5 represents a new standard for small-diaphragm condensers. Offering the hallmark clarity and airiness you'd expect from a world-class 'pencil' mic, with a warm, natural character that sets it apart, the TF-5 is uniquely versatile.

Offered in a precision-matched pair, the TF-5 is the perfect microphone for a wide range of applications where incredible accuracy and detail is required, from stereo orchestral recording to capturing the nuances of an individual performance when used as a spot mic.

The New Standard
The TF-5 represents a new standard for small-diaphragm condenser microphones. Its state-of-the-art capsule is precision-engineered to sub-micron tolerances, giving it unprecedented consistency of tone and response. Crafted to perform magnificently in the most demanding musical recording applications, the TF-5 represents the ultimate expression of RØDE's manufacturing and acoustic design expertise.

Unique Versatility
The TF-5 offers the hallmark clarity and airiness of other small diaphragm microphones and adds to this a warmth that is often lacking in mics of this type, making it uniquely versatile.

The TF-5 performs brilliantly in a stereo pair for recording everything from drum and pianos to entire orchestras, or on its own for capturing the nuances of acoustic instruments or percussion.
