Versatile Studio Microphone for Recording

The RODE NT1 5th Generation is a hybrid condenser microphone built for recording, streaming and podcasting. It combines a classic cardioid pattern that reduces ambient noise with dual connectivity options. A large 1-inch gold-sputtered diaphragm captures vocals, speech and instruments with warm, silky character.

Low-Noise Operation with High SPL Handling

The microphone delivers extremely low self-noise and high sound-pressure-level handling without added cooling or fan noise. Its Revolution Preamp provides clean analog gain while the 32-bit float digital output prevents clipping during loud passages. The 192 kHz converter ensures transparent capture for demanding studio work.

Dual Connectivity and Bundled Accessories

An XLR port and a USB-C port give immediate flexibility for interface or direct-to-computer workflows. Included pop filter and shockmount reduce plosives and mechanical vibration out of the box. Companion software enables simultaneous use of multiple USB microphones for round-table sessions.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the XLR and USB-C cables so the microphone works with my interface and computer at the same time?

Plug the XLR into your audio interface and the USB-C into the computer; the Dual Connect output feeds both paths simultaneously, but remember to select the NT1 as the input device in your recording software or the signal will stay muted.

Will the gold-sputtered diaphragm or the internal Revolution Preamp need servicing after extended studio sessions?

The capsule and preamp are solid-state with no user-serviceable parts; keep the included pop filter in place to block moisture and dust, and store the mic in its shockmount when not recording to protect the diaphragm from physical shock.

At what point does the 32-bit float ADC stop preventing digital clipping during a very loud vocal take?

The 32-bit float converter captures the full dynamic range without clipping, so the first practical limit is the microphone’s own maximum SPL handling before the capsule itself distorts.
