PRODUCTS Rode TF-5 Small-Diaphragm Condenser Microphones Rode Microphones has introduced the TF-5 matched pair of small-diaphragm condenser microphones. It was designed in collaboration with Grammy-winning sound engineer Tony Faulkner. The TF-5 is designed to offer improved airiness and clarity, with a warmth that makes it versatile for recording detailed and natural-sounding performances when used as a stereo pair, or for capturing a soloist when used as a spot mic. The TF-5 features a low noise floor (14dbA), making it suitable for critical recordings, and includes a Rode stereo bar for rigging as a stereo pair.

The N8 (pro- nounced “Nate”) is the result of a collaboration with Grammy-nominated bassist Nathan East. It’s designed for musicians who are looking for a sonic signature that delivers clarity across all frequencies with enough headroom available in the lower end of the audible spectrum. 64 Audio opted for a hybrid design utilizing a 9-mm dynamic driver for the lows and eight balanced armature drivers for the midrange and highs. The N8 also features 64 Audio’s Tia, Apex, and LID technologies. Like all of 64 Audio’s custom IEMs, the N8 monitors are customizable and hand-built from each uniquely-shaped ear impression. They are inherently noise-isolating and designed to work with a wide range of personal audio devices as well as all hard-wired and wireless monitor systems. N8 accessories include a 64 Audio personalized protective case, dehumidifier, cleaning tool, shirt clip, 48- or 64-in. detachable profes- sional cable, and m15 or m20 apex modules.
