Rode NT1 Signature Series Condenser Microphone

The Rode NT1 Signature Series is a large-diaphragm studio condenser microphone built for recording and podcasting. Its HF6 1-inch true condenser capsule delivers a silky, warm sound character with smooth frequency response. An internal JFET active transformer and bipolar output buffer contribute to extremely low self-noise of 4 dBA.

Ideal for vocal recording, instruments.

Creators who need a cardioid pattern to reject rear and side sound in untreated rooms will benefit. Buyers who require multiple pickup patterns for different recording scenarios should consider other options. The included SM6 shockmount, pop filter, 20' XLR cable and dust cover provide a complete starter kit.

4 dBA self-noise and 142 dB SPL handling

An extremely low noise floor of 4 dBA captures quiet sources without adding hiss. High SPL handling of 142 dB accommodates loud instruments such as drums or amplified guitars without distortion. These two specifications define the microphone's dynamic range and versatility.

Questions about this item

How much self-noise does the HF6 capsule add during long recording sessions?

The capsule contributes an extremely low self-noise of 4 dBA, keeping the noise floor minimal even during extended use.

Does the internal JFET converter generate noticeable heat when the mic runs all day?

The JFET impedance converter and bipolar output buffer are designed for low-noise, clean operation without producing detectable heat during continuous use.

What connector must my audio interface provide for the included XLR cable?

The microphone uses a standard 3-pin XLR output, so your interface needs a matching female XLR input.
