Rode NT1 5th Generation Microphone (Silver)

Rode NT1 5th Generation

The Rode NT1 5th Generation microphone combines cutting-edge technology with professional-grade design, delivering exceptional performance for studio recording, podcasting, and content creation. Behind its protective mesh grille lies Rode's 1" gold-sputtered HF6 cardioid condenser capsule, engineered for detailed midrange response, smooth highs, and warm bass. The cardioid polar pattern focuses on the source in front, minimizing ambient noise from the sides and rear. The capsule is internally shockmounted using Rycote's Lyre system to reduce external vibrations and paired with high-grade electronics for ultra-low noise, achieving an impressive self-noise level of just 4 dBA. It operates on phantom power through an XLR connection or bus power via USB-C. On the digital side, Rode equips the NT1 5th Gen with a Revolution preamp for ultralow-noise gain and a 32-bit floating-point converter, ensuring a virtually impossible-to-overload dynamic range, allowing you to focus on creativity rather than clipping. Supporting up to 192 kHz sampling rates, the mic is versatile for professional audio applications. Bundled accessories include the SM6 shockmount with a removable pop shield, a balanced XLR cable, a USB-C cable, and a carrying pouch. Unlock its full potential with Rode's app suite: **Rode Central** allows users to access advanced APHEX processing, adjust input gain, and perform firmware updates, with settings saved for seamless integration with DAWs. **Rode Connect** offers intuitive podcasting software, enabling connection of up to four Rode USB microphones with features like broadcast-style faders and advanced DSP tools such as noise gates, compressors, and APHEX effects. For streamers, **UNIFY** provides a powerful virtual mixer for routing, mixing, and recording multichannel audio, offering precise control over sound for platforms like Twitch, YouTube, and OBS, while also addressing DMCA concerns with independent, copyright-safe audio tracks. Whether for vocals, instruments, podcasts, or live streams, the NT1 5th Generation delivers unmatched versatility and professional sound quality.
