RODE TF-5

The RODE TF-5 is a premium-quality pair of small-diaphragm condenser microphones designed in collaboration with legendary sound engineer and classical music producer Tony Faulkner.

The TF-5 sets a new standard in small-diaphragm condenser microphones. The all-new capsule is designed to sub-micron tolerances, giving the microphone unprecedented consistency in tone and sound response.

Breathtaking clarity. Unique warmth

The TF-5 has the clear, airy sound characteristic of other RØDE small-diaphragm microphones, but with a warmth of tone often lacking in smaller "pencil" microphones of this type. This makes the TF-5 uniquely versatile.

Precise pairing. Brilliant spot microphone

With its sonically accurate pairing and beautiful tone, the TF-5 is ideal for stereo applications requiring critically accurate sound reproduction, as well as for use as a spot microphone to capture all the nuances of a particular instrument or individual performance.

Designed and manufactured in Australia

The TF-5 is manufactured entirely in RØDE's state-of-the-art facility in Sydney, Australia, and its premium quality is backed by a 10-year manufacturer's warranty.

The ultimate microphone

The TF-5 is the ultimate product built on RODE's years of expertise and experience. It was created with the goal of perfect performance on the most critical music recordings, with a focus on acoustic design and sound purity. The TF-5 was designed in collaboration with legendary Grammy-winning classical music sound engineer and producer Tony Faulkner.

Many of these epithets have been attributed to this sound engineer and prolific music producer in the field of classical music. However, few of these words adequately capture his contribution to music recording and his technical innovations throughout his rich career, which can be heard on all recordings bearing his name.
