Description

The NT1 5th Generation takes RØDE’s classic large-diaphragm condenser and rebuilds it for how people actually record today. At its core sits the HF6 1-inch true condenser capsule, delivering the same smooth, silky tone the NT1 has been known for since it first launched, along with high SPL handling and a noise floor of just 4dBA, making it the quietest studio condenser mic on the market.

What sets this generation apart is the patent-pending Dual Connect output, giving you both XLR and USB from a single microphone body. Plug in via USB and you get onboard analog-to-digital conversion up to 192kHz, 32-bit float recording that makes clipping essentially a non-issue, and built-in APHEX-powered DSP for processing before the signal even hits your interface. Prefer a traditional analog chain? The XLR side delivers the mic’s signature sound straight into your preamp, no digital processing involved.

Whether you’re tracking vocals, voiceover, acoustic guitar, piano, or drum overheads, the NT1 5th Gen adapts to the job rather than forcing you to work around it. The rugged aluminium body and refined black finish are built to hold up under daily studio use, and everything ships ready to set up and record.
