From the manufacturer

Our Iconic Original Studio Microphone, Reborn

Introduced in 1991, the original NT1 revolutionised home recording. Now, the NT1 5th Generation takes the NT1’s core design and introduces patented, state-of-the-art features while preserving the legendary sound and build quality that made it the go-to studio mic for countless creators.

The World’s First Studio Mic with XLR and USB Connectivity

The NT1 5th Generation features RØDE’s state-of-the-art Dual Connect output, which features both XLR and USB connectivity. This allows you to connect it to an audio interface or mixer just like a traditional studio microphone or plug it straight into your computer for plug-and-play recording.

Never Clip Your Audio

The NT1 5th Generation is the world’s first microphone to feature a 32-bit float digital output. This allows you to record everything from a whisper to a scream without ever clipping your signal and without the need to worry about setting your levels before recording – an absolute game changer.

Classic Sound on the Cutting Edge

The NT1 5th Generation offers the same classic warm, silky character that the original is known for, with a sparkling top end, detailed midrange and rich bass that makes every sound source shine – from vocals to guitars to drums. This classic sound signature can be further enhanced with the NT1 5th Generation’s powerful on-board digital signal processing for adding compression, high-pass filters, a noise gate, and the iconic APHEX Aural Exciter and Big Bottom for making any recording shine.
