RODE NT1GEN5 NT1 5th Generation Hybrid XLR/USB Studio Cardioid Condenser Vocal / Instrument Mic Silver

5th Generation Hybrid Studio Condenser Mic

The RODE NT1GEN5 NT1 5th Generation Hybrid Studio Condenser Mic in Silver is a versatile and cutting-edge studio microphone that combines the classic sound signature of the iconic NT1 with innovative, next-generation technology. This revolutionary microphone is the latest evolution of the NT1, which was first introduced in 1991 and has become the world's most popular studio microphone due to its warm, classic sound and incredible versatility.

The NT1 5th Generation is a true studio workhorse that excels in everything from vocals and speech to guitar, piano, drums, and percussion. It features RØDE's groundbreaking patent-pending Dual Connect output, which offers both XLR and USB connectivity for incredible versatility, and a world-first "unclippable" 32-bit float digital output. This microphone delivers the same warm, silky character, extremely low noise, and high SPL handling capability that the original NT1 is known for, with improved circuitry for even lower self-noise - an astonishingly low 4dBA, making it the world's quietest studio condenser microphone.

The NT1 5th Generation features a professional-grade audio interface built into the microphone, which is perfectly optimized to preserve its pristine audio fidelity and also offers a range of highly innovative features for enhanced sound. It includes the ultra-low-noise, high-gain Revolution Preamp, high-resolution (192kHz) A/D conversion, and advanced digital signal processing. With its smooth frequency response, extremely low noise, high SPL handling, flexible connectivity options, and powerful digital capabilities, the NT1 5th Generation offers versatility like no other studio mic.

Craft your sound with advanced APHEX audio processing, driven by the NT1 5th Generation's powerful onboard DSP. Add compression, a high-pass filter, noise gate, and the legendary APHEX Aural Exciter and Big Bottom to your audio with ease using the free RØDE Connect and RØDE Central companion apps. The intuitive VoxLab editor allows you to dial in the perfect sound with the touch of a button, or fine-tune each processor using the advanced editor. Made from premium components, the NT1 5th Generation is built to the highest standard in RØDE's state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Sydney, Australia. The body is machined from rugged aluminium and is available in black or silver, with high-grade finishes that are extremely resistant to scuffs and scratches.
