Rode NT1 5th Generation Studio Microphone Black in More Detail

Next Generation Studio Microphone

The Rode NT1 5th Generation is the latest evolution of the iconic NT1, which first appeared in way back in 1991. The NT1 became the world’s most popular studio microphone, renowned for its warm, classic sound and incredible versatility and the 5th Generation takes the core of the NT1 and introduces state-of-the-art features, while preserving the legendary sound quality that made the original the go-to microphone for numerous creators.

Classic studio condenser sound

The 5th Generation Rode NT1 delivers the same warm, silky character, extremely low noise, and high SPL handling capability as the original, with improved circuitry for even lower self-noise, which is now an astonishingly low 4dBA, which makes it the world’s quietest studio condenser microphone. When using the XLR output, it delivers the rich, classic studio condenser sound you know and love from the NT1 and when using the digital output, you get this same sound plus a slew of cutting-edge features to further enhance your audio for recording pro studio sound directly into your computer.

Dual Connectivity

The NT1 5th Generation can either be connected to an audio interface or mixer via XLR or directly to a computer via USB for studio-grade, plug-and-play recording. This provides a new level of flexibility for any studio setup, with groundbreaking, patent-pending Dual Connect output.

‘Unclippable’ Audio From 32-bit Float Digital Output

The NT1 5th Generation features a world-first 32-bit float digital output, which is a revolutionary recording format that allows you to record everything from a whisper to a scream, the softest guitar to the loudest drummer without having to worry about setting your gain. You can simply adjust your audio after recording and all the dynamics of your performance will be maintained, with zero risk of clipping or distortion.

Professional Digital Studio

A professional-grade audio interface is built into the NT1 5th gen microphone, which is perfectly optimised to preserve its pristine audio fidelity and also offers a range of highly innovative features for enhanced sound, including our ultra-low-noise, high-gain Revolution Preamp™, high-resolution (192kHz) A/D conversion and advanced digital signal processing. This results in much more than just a studio condenser microphone, it's an all-in-one digital recording solution.

Premium Components Built to Last

The NT1 5th Generation is built to the highest standard in RØDE’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Sydney, Australia, using premium components. The HF6 capsule is precision manufactured to sub-micron tolerances to ensure the utmost consistency in tonality and frequency response and is internally shock-mounted for minimising external vibrations. The body is machined from rugged aluminium and is available in this black or silver, with high-grade finishes that are extremely resistant to scuffs and scratches, ensuring the NT1 5th Generation is ready to take on the rigours of recording day in, day out.

Uniquely versatile

Rode’s 5th Generation NT1 studio microphone offers versatility like no other, with its smooth frequency response, extremely low noise, high SPL handling, flexible connectivity options and powerful digital capabilities. It excels in virtually any recording application, from vocals and speech to guitars, drums to piano, and fits into any workflow, from a solo bedroom recording setup to a professional studio.

Our Verdict

Rode is known for creating revolutionary microphones and they’ve done it again with the 5th Generation Rode NT1 Studio Microphone, which is available in this Black as well as silver finish. The microphone adds dual connectivity with both XLR and USB-C, and it also includes 32-bit float digital output. This captures the full range of audio, in a similar way as RAW video and RAW images capture full image data, allowing for more flexibility to adjust levels during post production. With this technology your audio will not only render the warmth and range which earlier NT1 mics were loved for, but helps to reduce clipping and floor noise.

Alongside new technology Rode has used high-quality materials and manufacturing techniques to build a microphone which is durable, resistant to scuffs and scratches, while capturing consistently professional-quality audio with even lower self-noise. Add in free Apps for audio processing with on-board DSP and you have a far easier system to work with, whether you create content in a professional studio or from your bedroom.
