RODE NT1 GEN5 BLACK

RODE NT1 GEN5 BLACK

An NT1 with XLR and USB for recording, podcasting, and streaming.
With an analog XLR connector and a digital USB-C connector, the 5th generation black Rode NT1 represents another great leap forward for this highly esteemed large-diaphragm microphone. The dual connection options offer a new level of flexibility, allowing users without an audio interface to connect directly to the computer for recording, podcasting, and streaming tasks, thanks to the integrated 32-bit floating-point A to D converter. Of course, if you have an audio interface, a podcasting station, or a favorite microphone preamp, no problem: just connect the microphone's XLR output to your analog equipment and you're good to go. Combining a true condenser capsule, ultra-low noise circuitry, and an extremely durable housing, the large-diaphragm cardioid Rode NT1 5th generation microphone is ideal for high-resolution digital recording of vocal and instrumental sources at home, in the studio, or even on stage.

Cardioid condenser capsule HF6 internally mounted on a shock mount

• Behind the protective mesh grille, the microphone features Rode's 1" HF6 capsule with gold sputtering, designed to provide a detailed midrange response with smooth highs and warm lows.

• The cardioid polar pattern focuses audio capture on the source in front of the microphone, picking up less unwanted ambient sound from the back and sides.

• The transducer itself is suspended within the microphone using Rycote's industry-leading Lyre system, which minimizes external vibrations at the capsule level. Next, the capsule is paired with high-quality electronics that have been designed to provide an extremely low noise level. The 5th generation NT1 is an incredibly quiet microphone, measuring only 4 dBA of self-noise.

• The microphone is powered by phantom power through the XLR connector or by bus power through the USB-C port.

Revolution preamplifier and 32-bit floating point converters

• Rode has equipped the digital side of the 5th generation NT1 with some innovative features to ensure exceptional audio quality from the USB connection, starting with the built-in Revolution preamplifier that provides great ultra-low noise gain to power the analog-to-digital converter.

• With its 32-bit floating-point A to D converter, you'll never have to worry about clipping again. The converter provides such a high headroom and wide dynamic range that it's practically impossible to overload it, allowing you to worry less about maintaining perfect recording levels and focus more on your creative work.

• Sampling rates of up to 192 kHz are supported.

Included accessories

• The 5th generation NT1 comes with the SM6, a studio-quality suspension shock mount that provides isolation from external physical factors that may cause unwanted vibrations and movements in the microphone.

• The SM6 includes a removable pop filter with two adjustment axes and a telescopic arm for maximum application versatility.

• The microphone also comes with a balanced XLR microphone cable and a USB-C to USB-C cable.

• A carrying bag is also provided.
