The TF-5 represent a new standard in small diaphragm condensers. The all-new capsule is engineered to sub-micron tolerances, giving unprecedented consistency of tone and response.
The TF-5 features the hallmark clarity and airiness of other RØDE small diaphragm mics, and adds to this a unique warmth of tone which is often lacking in smaller ‘pencil mics’ of this type, making the TF-5 uniquely versatile.
