Introduced in 1991, the NT1 quickly ascended the ranks to become one of the world’s most popular studio microphones, finding its way into home studios and high-end recording facilities across the globe. Now in its 5th generation, RØDE’s flagship condenser retains the same silky highs and detailed midrange that made it a staple in the studio while offering a whole suite of cutting-edge innovations that bring this mic boldly into the 21st century. </p> <br> <p>The RØDE NT1 5th Generation may be the latest in an ever-evolving line of beloved microphones, but in many respects, it’s the first of its kind. It’s the world’s first microphone with 32-bit float digital output, the first to offer RØDE’s proprietary Dual Connect XLR/USB output, and, as always, the first choice for many when it comes to pristine sound capture and ultralow noise. </p> <h3>Timeless Performance for a New Generation</h3> <p>The RØDE NT1 5th Generation may well represent the dawn of a new era for the forward-thinking Australian manufacturer, but it’s still built around the robust performance and precision engineering that made it a household name over two decades ago. Its gold-sputtered large-diaphragm HF6 capsule is internally shockmounted and spec'd out at the sub-micron level to yield impeccably consistent frequency response and tonality. This cardioid condenser mic handles high SPLs with no problem, making it a workhorse capable of wrangling both screaming guitars and thundering drums. And with its new and improved circuitry, the NT1 5th Generation is the quietest studio condenser microphone in the world, with its jaw-droppingly low 4dB-A of self-noise rendering it essentially silent.</p> <h3>Dual Connectivity for Unprecedented Flexibility</h3> <p>Whether you’re tracking in the studio, podcasting from home, or looking to lay down some quick ideas on the go, RØDE’s groundbreaking new Dual Connect hybrid XLR/USB output makes it easy to plug in and play no matter where you are. For normal studio use, the NT1 5th Generation connects to audio interfaces and mixers via a standard XLR cable. However, you can also plug directly into your computer with stunning signal quality through the integrated USB-C port. By interfacing directly with your DAW, the USB-C connection also offers effortless access to the mic’s onboard DSP features for a truly customizable recording experience.</p> <h3>A Built-In Interface for Fine-Tuning Your Sound</h3> <p>The NT1 5th Generation is more than just a microphone—it's a digital studio you can hold in the palm of your hand. It comes loaded with a built-in professional-grade audio interface engineered to preserve its pristine audio fidelity. This includes the ultra-low-noise, high-gain Revolution Preamp, as well as 192 kHz high-resolution analog-to-digital conversion and advanced digital signal processing. With the NT1 5th Generation’s powerful onboard DSP, you can dial in your sound like never before. It connects you with a suite of free apps, including the RØDE Connect and RØDE Central companion apps, that allow you to add customizable compression, a high-pass filter, noise gate, and a host of advanced APHEX processing controls.</p> <h3>The World’s First 32-bit Float Microphone</h3> <p>With the RØDE NT1 5th Generation’s advanced new 32-bit float technology, clipped and distorted signals are a thing of the past. This revolutionary recording system allows you to simply plug in and play without having to worry about setting your gain. If your audio clips because the signal is too loud, 32-bit float allows you to adjust it to the optimal level after you finish recording while maintaining all the dynamics of your performance. No more endless fiddling with gain levels and mic positions; no more time wasted trying to fix distorted signals in mixing. And best of all, no more worrying about having to trash otherwise perfect takes. Whether you’re recording whispered vocals or wailing guitars, the NT1 5th Generation’s 32-bit float output gives you the freedom to fully focus on getting the best performance possible.</p>", "value":"249.00", "priceMin":"249.00", "priceMax":"249.00", "priceSavingsMaxPrice":"0.00", "priceSavingsMaxPercent":"38", "inventory":"588", "brand":"RODE", "reviewStarImageUrl": "https://static.musiciansfriend.com/img/brand/mf/cmn/Sprit-Sm-Stars.png", "reviewStarRating":"0.0", "reviewStarRatingInteger":"0", "reviewHowManyReviews":"0", "usedOrNew":"new", "discontinued":"0", "onOrder":"0", "clearance":"0", "canBeSold":"1", "accessoryCategories":"site1YFG,site1LIF,site1LFG", "stickerText": ""}
