Hi Gianni
I have experience with the Rode NT5 mics. I purchased
a pair at the begining of the year. After using them
for a couple of months I returned them to the shop I
purchased them from for a full refund. They are
extremly sensitive to humidity, each time I tried them
in the field I could use them for between 5 and 20
mins. before they faded into noisy static rubbish. A
shame I felt as they had a good response and a
pleasing sound. Nice mics and good value for a studio
enviroment but unsuitable for field recordings.
