What type of microphone is this?

Hey there microphone dudes and dudets...

Can someone tell me about this microphone? Condenser? Ribbon? I've never seen one of these... It looks so weird at the diaphram end... You know?

You should be able to right-click and zoom in.

it's a stereo XY mic... 2 capsules one in each of those ends...

What he said...the business end has two capsules, mounted in an XY pattern at 90 degrees.

Don't know about the make & model on that one in the video, but here's a better look at Rode's version of the same idea:

Looks like a Rode NT4

Thank you so much... I forgot about stereo mics because I had always done stereo micking techniques with two mono mics, and even then, I barely ever did much recording.

That guy needs to work on his technique
