RODE NT1GEN5 NT1 5th Generation Hybrid XLR/USB Studio Cardioid Condenser Vocal / Instrument Mic Black

5th Generation Hybrid Studio Condenser Mic

The RODE NT1GEN5 NT1 5th Generation Hybrid Studio Condenser Mic in Black is a sleek and versatile microphone that brings together the iconic sound signature of the classic NT1 and state-of-the-art technology. This microphone is the latest iteration of the NT1, which has been the world's most popular studio microphone since its introduction in 1991, thanks to its warm, classic sound and unparalleled versatility.

Whether you're recording vocals, speech, guitar, piano, drums, or percussion, the NT1 5th Generation is a true studio workhorse. It features RØDE's groundbreaking Dual Connect output, which allows for both XLR and USB connectivity, and a world-first "unclippable" 32-bit float digital output. The microphone delivers the same warm, silky character, extremely low noise, and high SPL handling capability as the original NT1, but with improved circuitry for even lower self-noise, an astonishingly low 4dBA, making it the world's quietest studio condenser microphone.

In addition to its top-notch sound quality, the NT1 5th Generation features a professional-grade audio interface built into the microphone, which is perfectly optimized to preserve its pristine audio fidelity. It includes the ultra-low-noise, high-gain Revolution Preamp, high-resolution (192kHz) A/D conversion, and advanced digital signal processing. This microphone offers unparalleled versatility with its smooth frequency response, extremely low noise, high SPL handling, flexible connectivity options, and powerful digital capabilities.

Craft your sound with advanced APHEX audio processing, driven by the NT1 5th Generation's powerful onboard DSP. Use the free RØDE Connect and RØDE Central companion apps to add compression, a high-pass filter, noise gate, and the legendary APHEX Aural Exciter and Big Bottom to your audio with ease. The intuitive VoxLab editor allows you to dial in the perfect sound with the touch of a button, or fine-tune each processor using the advanced editor. The NT1 5th Generation's body is machined from rugged aluminium, with high-grade finishes that are extremely resistant to scuffs and scratches.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think that the NT1 5th Generation Hybrid Studio Condenser Mic in Black is the ultimate studio microphone for any setup, from a solo bedroom recording studio to a professional studio.
