RODE NT1 Signature Series (Black) Black

A modern classic in every sense of the word, the RØDE NT1 helped fuel the home recording revolution upon release in 1991, bringing professional-quality sound into the project studio like never before. Fast forward nearly 35 years, and the NT1 remains one of the most beloved and best-selling condenser microphones of all time, found in home recording rigs, high-end studios and streaming setups around the world.

Over the years, the NT1 has received a few facelifts, culminating in the game-changing 5th generation, which adds a host of high-tech bells and whistles like USB-C output and advanced DSP. However, for analog purists looking for an unadulterated take on the original, the RØDE NT1 Signature Series represents a remarkable return to the brand’s roots. Combining classic RØDE components with advanced engineering and a brand-new suite of head-turning colorways, the NT1 Signature Series is a timeless studio microphone for the modern era.

Classic RODE Sound in a Colorful New Package

Precision-engineered in Australia, the NT1 Signature Series utilizes time-tested components to deliver a pure expression of the classic RØDE sound. A familiar large-diaphragm 1-inch HF6 condenser capsule provides an extended frequency range of 20Hz–20kHz, capturing the sparkling high end, detailed midrange and rich, warm bass response we’ve come to expect from the NT1. It’s housed in the same rugged high-grade aluminum casing that’s made the NT1 a durable go-to for decades. However, for the first time ever, the RØDE NT1 is available in a stunning array of vibrant colors from cherry red to pastel pink to elegant black. No matter which color you choose, each mic is coated with a resilient finish designed to resist scratches and scuffs.

Upgraded Engineering for Versatile Performance

The NT1 Signature Series benefits from the same upgraded analog circuitry as the 5th generation, improving upon the NT1’s already impressive SPL handling and low self-noise. Now boasting an ultralow self-noise of just 4dB-A, the RØDE NT1 Signature Series is the world’s quietest microphone alongside the 5th-generation NT1, delivering pristine audio with remarkable consistency. The Signature Series can also handle huge sound pressure levels of up to 142dB, making it ideal for capturing high-volume sound sources like drums, speaker cabinets and even horns. With its enormous dynamic range and gorgeously detailed sound pickup, the NT1 Signature Series is a versatile studio performer you can count on in a wide variety of scenarios.

Cardioid Polar Pattern Rejects Unwanted Sound

The NT1’s gold-sputtered condenser capsule features a fixed cardioid polar pattern that rejects off-axis sound and delivers focused audio capture. With its highly directional sound pickup, the NT1 provides both precision and clarity when used to record vocals, overdubs or voiceover narration. The tight cardioid pattern also helps attenuate bleed when live tracking in the studio, and paired with the NT1’s ultra-high SPL handling, it makes this mic an excellent choice for capturing loud sources without the fear of feedback or interference. Perfect for everything from quiet acoustic guitars to rich and resonant pianos to drum overheads, the NT1 Signature Series is a capable all-in-one option for the home or professional studio.

Premium Accessories for Reliable Results

The RØDE NT1 Signature Series arrives bundled with an impressive package of premium accessories, adding to its already exceptional value. The included SM6 shockmount is made with an engineering-grade polymer, bringing outstanding stability without adding much weight. Featuring a dual Lyre suspension system and a telescopic arm, the SM6 reduces unwanted rumble and vibrations while maintaining maximum versatility. The NT1 Signature Series also comes with a RØDE-branded pop filter to minimize plosives and a high-quality XLR cable for reliable performance. Finally, the NT1 is backed by a best-in-class 10-year warranty, ensuring that you will continue to enjoy your mic for years to come.
