The question isn't why are 2 mics more expensive than 1, it is why is there a $100 premium over buying 2 separately. Is it because they are 'matched'?
Asked by: Joshua
The difference in cost between purchasing two Rode NT55 Compact Condenser Microphones with Interchangeable Capsules as opposed to the Matched Pair item can indeed be credited to the fact that the pair is matched, making them more ideal for recording as a stereo pair.

Would you use these mics on a camera for field reference audio?
Asked by: J
Yes, the Rode NT55 Compact Condenser Microphone with Interchangeable Capsules could be used on a camera with XLR inputs providing phantom power to capture reference audio. The cardioid capsule included with the NT55 is suggested as opposed to the omni capsule for this application, in order to capture an audio perspective reflective of what the camera is seeing.
