Description

The Rode NT1 5th Generation is a modern evolution of one of the most respected large-diaphragm condenser microphones ever made, designed for today’s hybrid creators. Featuring both XLR and USB-C outputs, it seamlessly adapts to traditional studio setups or direct-to-computer recording without the need for an audio interface. Its true condenser HF6 capsule captures vocals and instruments with remarkable clarity, offering warm low frequencies, smooth highs, and a focused cardioid pickup pattern that minimizes unwanted ambient noise. Internally shockmounted using Rycote Lyre technology, the capsule remains isolated from mechanical vibrations for consistently clean results. On the digital side, Rode’s Revolution preamp and 32-bit floating point conversion deliver massive dynamic range, making clipping virtually impossible and allowing creators to focus on performance instead of gain staging. With ultra-low self-noise rated at just 4 dBA and support for sample rates up to 192 kHz, the NT1 excels in music recording, voiceover, podcasting, and streaming applications. Power is supplied via standard phantom power when using XLR or through USB-C bus power for plug-and-play convenience. The microphone includes the SM6 shockmount with an adjustable pop filter, XLR and USB cables, and a storage pouch, ensuring a complete, professional-ready recording solution straight out of the box.
