Description
Since its debut in 1991, the RØDE NT1 condenser microphone has both pushed the envelope of mic design and brought studio-grade quality to the masses—justifiably becoming the most popular studio microphone in the world. The NT1 5th Generation mic catapults that dynamic combination of cutting-edge tech and outstanding value to a whole new level with its game-changing USB and XLR connectivity, its virtually unclippable 32-bit float digital output as well as innovative digital signal processing. This 5th-Gen NT1 blends these revolutionary, workflow-enhancing features with all the characteristics that have made the NT1 mics a hit with artists, livestreamers, producers and engineers the world over. Packed with a shockmount, pop filter, cables and the RØDE App Suite, the NT1 5th Generation microphone has everything you need to record your finest takes yet.

The World’s First 32-bit Float Microphone
RØDE designed the NT1 5th Generation to be a truly groundbreaking mic, letting you record anything from a whisper to a scream without having to worry about setting to gain to avoid clipping. Thanks to 5th Gen’s 32-bit float digital output, you can normalize the gain "in the mix," instead of being stuck with an unusably loud audio file and being left at the mercy of your editing software—or even worse, tasked with having to redo an otherwise perfect take. No matter the instrument you’re recording, rest assured you’ll maintain all the dynamics of your performance—without any risk of clipping.

Dual Connect Output and Revolution Mic Preamp
The NT1 5th Generation takes another unprecedented leap forward with RØDE's Dual Connect XLR and USB output. In addition to the classic, beautiful NT1 sound via the XLR output, the 5th Generation offers that same sonic character with even more possibilities through its built-in interface and USB digital output. This includes the Revolution Preamp, which has ultralow noise, high gain, up to 192kHz analog-to-digital conversion and advanced DSP.

Superb Quality and Peerless Dynamic Range
Built in Sydney, Australia at RØDE's state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities from premium components, the NT1 5th Generation boasts the exceptionally low noise, high-SPL handling alongside its silky-smooth sonic signature of the classic NT1 models—and then some. Its HF6 capsule is internally shockmounted and spec'd out at the sub-micron level to yield impeccably consistent frequency response and tonality. The NT1 5th Gen also happens to be the quietest studio condenser microphone in the world, with a jaw-droppingly low 4dBA self-noise. What’s more, its rugged aluminum housing and resilient, high-grade finish ensure it’s built to last.
