Curious to compare RØDE NT5 and TF5 small diaphragm condenser mics. Going down a rabbit hole...
The RØDE TF5 turns out to be more sensitive, so to get the same recorded level as the NT5, I reduced the amplification at the audio interface when recording with the TF5. For this limited recording scenario, either mic will be fine. Like I said, a rabbit hole 😀
