  • This is the only review you would need for this mic
Model: NT1 5th Gen Color: Silver
I’ve been using the Rode NT1 5th Generation for a couple of weeks now and wanted to share my thoughts for anyone considering it. Firstly, I was pleasantly surprised by how sturdy and well-built this mic feels - even the SM6 shock mount and pop filter that come with it seem like they’re built to last. The setup was pretty easy, and I got it all hooked up without any fuss. I use it in my home studio, and it’s been a game changer for my recordings. The sound quality is clear and crisp, and it manages to capture the richness of vocals and instruments alike without adding any unwanted noise. That quiet operation is something I appreciate, especially considering the not-so-perfect acoustics of my space. The SM6 shock mount does a stellar job of minimizing any vibrations or accidental bumps from reaching the mic, and the pop filter is effective in reducing plosives, which gives a clean, professional sound to my recordings. For the price, the Rode NT1, with its shock mount and pop filter, feels like a solid investment, especially if you're getting into recording and want something that’s good quality without being overly complicated. Really happy with it and would definitely recommend to fellow musicians and podcasters! ... show more

  • Rode NT1 (5th gen) is versatile, phenomenal. Parkdeals reliably delivered.
Model: NT1 5th Gen Color: Black
The reputation of this mic's line is already legendary...and well deserved. It comes excellently packaged from the manufacturer. The external shipping packaging was designed to protect it well and minimize shock to the mic, which I really appreciate. When I ordered it, the length of time for receipt was longer than I had hoped for because I was anxious to get it, and I was concerned about that, but it did arrive two days EARLIER that promised, which I was happy to see. If it had been shipped closer to the order date, I would have been ecstatic, but the monitoring software indicated it didn't go out for days...if I hadn't been antsy, this would probably not have bothered me at all...I still received it before it was promised. So I'd be inclined to order from these folks again. The mic is absolutely impressive. Sensitive to all the right sounds without excessive noise floor. Recording quality is phenomenal...unbelievable. It is insanely easy to use with a 32-bit float supporting software through a USBc cable (provided). It also comes with an XLR cable for folks with more professional equipment. Remember to download the ASIO plug in from rode.com. It is attractive, looks like it belongs in the studio, and fits precisely into the Rode boom (a separate purchase) which is solid and strong enough to support it properly and silently in any position I'd need. The mic also comes with a dust cover so I can protect it when not in use, an added touch that those making every attempt to take care of their recording equipment value. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase Rode products from this merchant again! ... show more

  • Microphone is hands down one of the best mics for the price that I've seen
Model: NT1 5th Gen Color: Black
I love the sound quality for the price the microphone comes in at, it's a beast of a microphone, and it lets you choose which type of audio interface you're going to use, between USB C and XLR, very versatile! It was pretty easy to set up with the USB C cable and didn't require additional hardware other than a stand for it, which I would very much recommend that you get one with it. With a stand included, it's still less than other high end XLR/USB microphones, and the quality is there. It's really good, and a much needed upgrade over my Rode NT-USB which is also an amazing microphone. I'd recommend this mic to all my friends if I'm being real with you, it's that good for the price. Love it. ... show more

  • The Rode NT1 is hands down one of the best microphones I’ve added to my studio.
Model: NT1 4th Gen Color: Black
The Rode NT1 is hands down one of the best microphones I’ve added to my studio. The clarity and detail it captures is incredible—everything sounds natural, balanced, and clean, with just the right amount of warmth. Whether I’m recording vocals, acoustic guitar, or even voiceovers, the NT1 delivers a professional, polished sound with minimal need for post-processing. The self-noise is practically nonexistent, making it ideal for quiet recording environments where every subtle nuance matters. You can tell Rode put serious thought into the design—from the capsule tuning to the rugged metal body that feels built to last. The included shock mount and pop filter are also high-quality, which adds even more value to the package. Setup was quick and seamless with my audio interface (just XLR + phantom power and you’re good to go). It’s not a flashy mic, but that’s what makes it perfect—it focuses entirely on delivering clean, accurate recordings without gimmicks. For home studios, podcasting, or even pro setups on a budget, the NT1 punches way above its price point. I can confidently say this mic belongs in any serious mic locker. ... show more
