RODE Microphone

RODE Microphone NT1 5th Generation Hybrid Studio Condenser, Black, Bundle with Studio Isolation Filter

SKU CH-G9RE-CNGRE

A hybrid studio condenser microphone with XLR and USB-C outputs, ultra-low self-noise, and a bundled isolation filter for professional vocal and instrument recording

  • Pristine audio from 1" cardioid condenser capsule
  • Crystal-clear recordings with 4dBA self-noise
  • Flexible XLR and USB-C connectivity options
  • Complete studio bundle includes isolation filter
  • Professional heritage since 1991 with 192kHz conversion

Professional Studio Condenser

The Rode NT1 5th Generation is a large-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone built for vocalists, podcasters and home-studio engineers who need pristine capture without a separate interface. It ships complete with a shock mount, pop filter, cables, dust cover and an isolation filter so the kit is ready to record the moment it is unpacked.

Dual XLR and USB Connectivity

This model replaces single-connection microphones that force a choice between analog and digital workflows. The built-in Revolution Preamp and 192 kHz conversion let you plug straight into a computer via USB-C or run XLR into a traditional console, making the upgrade worthwhile whenever you need both paths without buying extra hardware.

Sustained Session Stability

The ultra-low 4 dBA self-noise floor stays consistent during long takes, so background hiss does not rise as the capsule warms up. High SPL handling prevents distortion on loud sources such as drums or amplified guitars, while the integrated DSP maintains clean gain structure across extended recording sessions without the gain staging drift common on separate preamp chains.

Questions about this item

What mount and cable lengths come in the box for positioning the NT1 5th Gen?

The bundle includes an SM6 shock mount, a pop filter, a 6 m XLR cable and a USB-C cable for flexible placement.

Which connection mode should I choose first — XLR or USB-C — to avoid driver issues?

Plug the USB-C cable into the computer before launching recording software so the built-in interface enumerates correctly; XLR requires an external preamp.

How often should I replace the pop filter and check the shock mount elastics?

Swap the pop filter when foam deteriorates or retains moisture, and inspect the shock mount elastics every few months for sag or cracking.
