Features

  • Pop shield, Tripod desk stand, ring mount, storage pouch and 6m (20) USB cable included

Description

The NT-USB is a highly versatile side-address microphone that is ideal for recording singing and musical performances in addition to spoken applications such as podcasting and voice-over. It is fully compatible with all mainstream recording applications on both Windows and Mac OS based computers, as well as the Apple iPad using Rode Rec, Garage Band, or any other recording app that accepts an external microphone. Use on the Apple iPad requires a suitable USB connection adaptor, such as the Apple Camera Connection Kit. The body of the NT-USB features a zero-latency stereo headphone monitoring (3.5mm) jack, which allows you to monitor the microphone input in real-time, along with dials to adjust the monitoring level and mix between the computer/iPad audio and the microphone input. A premium pop-filter is included, which fits onto the base of the mic, positioning the filter the ideal distance from the capsule to minimize plosives (hard 'B', 'T' or 'P' sounds that produce a harsh sound) during singing or speech. Also provided is a high-quality stand mount with industry standard 3/8" thread, desktop tripod stand that allows the NT-USB to sit at a comfortable height on a tabletop, and a pouch for storage of the microphone when not in use. Compatible with both Windows and Mac computers, as well as the Apple iPad via the USB camera connection kit (available directly from Apple) Gain setting: When the gain is set too high, the microphone will be too sensitive and can pick up room noise that can even be heard as a hiss. When the gain is set too low, the microphone will be barely audible. Compatible with the SMR shockmount & WS2 foam windshield.

  • Great for voice overs!
Model name: NT-USB Color: Black
I love the sound that this mic produces. I have other mics, but this is my favorite. It's easy to use and works well with my headphones.

  • Awesome Microphone for Voice Over Work
Model name: NT-USB Color: Black
I must have done 40 hours of research before purchasing this mic. As a radio producer, I must be looking for ways to get great quality but within a modest budget, and this microphone does the trick. It is crisp, clear, and has a great sound to it. One of the VO talents we use has a higher pitched voice and this microphone brought out more of the bass in his voice, which makes his voice sound very good! Do yourself a favor and buy a metal stand, like the On Stage DS7200B Adjustable Desk Microphone Stand. I think to keep the price down, Rode includes a very basic stand, but it really is not the right stand for this top-heavy microphone. Keep in mind, this being a condenser microphone, it will pick up EVERYTHING in the room including the sound of the room itself. Make sure no fans, A/C, humming or background noise of any kind is present, or the mic will pick it up. I would recommend using a carpeted room with lots of soft sound absorbent material in the room to absorb reverb. All in all, I'm very happy with this mic, so much that I've bought multiple ones and send them out to voice talent. It's super easy to use, being plug in play. You don't need any extra sound gear, so it's perfect for anyone. Thanks Rode for making great quality gear at a modest price! ... show more

  • Outstanding, solid build, sounds fantastic + good customer service
Model name: NT-USB Color: Black
I use this for live streaming and Discord calls and the audio quality is outstanding. I was using the Blue Yeti before which had good quality BUT quickly developed an issue where there was a high pitch whine whenever I spoke. I've owned this RODE mic for a few months and there is zero whine. I'll update my review if any problems show up with the RODE. The mic is pretty heavy. Maybe very slightly smaller and lighter than the YETI. The built in pop filter is nice since it's takes up so little space compared to a third party one. My biggest con is I wish one of the knobs adjusted the pickup sensitivity. The mic is sensitive which I deal with by using a gate on my voice, which works great. The extra knob would just be a small convenience. All in all, this is a great microphone for streaming, podcasting, or general chatting online. I haven't tested it for singing yet. Highly recommend. EDIT: The piece that connects the microphone to my mic stand broke after a year, however getting a replacement was very easy. I sent them an email with a picture of the broken piece and they sent a replacement which arrived about a week later. Was all in all very easy to deal with, however I did register the mic's warranty online so make sure you do that when you get this. Good company! ... show more

  • Good Gaming mic; weak arm
Model name: NT-USB Color: Black
Had this mic for nearly a year, and worked for the mostpart very well. Had a few issues with the position where the mic plugs in, but apart from that the only issue I had was the wear on the arm that connects directly to the mic to hold it up; it broke after enough adjustments. Granted, this happened over a year, but my I found it difficult to replace; there is no easy method of replacement. ... show more

  • Had to return what seemed to be a great USB mic
Model name: NT-USB Color: Black
Let me say this is a positive review, even though I had to return the mic for reasons I will explain in a moment. The quality of the mic and the dynamic range when testing it was superb. I highly recommend this mic. So why did I have to return it. As has been reported online and after 48 hours of troubleshooting, I could not resolve the situation that the mic audio gain would automatically adjust once I started recording under Windows 10 (using Google Chrome to be precise). Even with the various options selected to make sure no application could alter the audio gain, it was simply not possible to be able to stop this from occurring. Where do I point fault. In my research, it seems to be a Google Chrome issue as when testing the mic using other sound apps for Win10, the sound gain did not happen automatically. But unfortunately, the web based apps I require for audio recording (under chrome and Edge browsers) could not stop this from occurring. So I reluctantly have returned the mic despite thinking it was a great product as many others have stated. If Rode would offer such a mic and -- this is CRITICAL -- offer a manual audio gain nob as some other USB condenser mics offer, I would buy it in a heart beat. Having control of audio gain for the mic is a must-have, and leaving it to software did not work out for me in this case, unfortunately. I picked up another highly rated mic from Apogee, but my gut sense is that this RODE mic is superior in audio quality and build. But again, unfortunately for me, the lack of a manual audio gain nob to control this is missing from this mic and was a game breaker. ... show more

  • Just what they say
Model name: NT-USB Color: Black
Plug and play - the rode nt usb sound is GREAT - to me - as someone who knows a little about sound. It’s perfect for beginners who care about a wholesome well rounded voice/sound recording. I’m truly impressed - love the design. The only thing I would critique is the stand, would be fun if it could go higher and would be light metal and something fancy - not this plastic thing. I use it for voice recordings mainly - podcasts to be exact - I find it to be perfect. Thank you, Rode, for making such an amazing, beautiful, affordable and super easy to use microphone!! ... show more

  • A seriously heavy and wieldy mic
Model name: NT-USB Color: Black
This mic is not for the feint of heart. My researched showed this to be a high quality product capable of exceptional recording quality. What I underestimated was the sheer size and weight. After I overcame that shock the next challenge was finding options to attach it to my streaming station. The included base is usable but in my opinion an insult the the construction of the mic. Installation was straight forward and operation has been a joy. The usb attaches to the underside of the mic forcing the mount for the mic to offset the mic on an articulating arm. While not ideal some creative adjustments and components seem to have solved that issue. I was a bit surprised that it picked up background noise several rooms away in my home. I didn’t not expect that, nor do I want it. I have not found a way to adjust its sensitivity but I love its operation and production quality. ... show more
