The Iconic NT1, Reinvented in the RØDE Range
Since 1991, the NT1 has established itself as a studio reference for its warm tone and versatility. This 5th generation retains the HF6 capsule's "warm and silky" character while introducing major advancements: dual XLR/USB connectivity, 32-bit floating recording, and optimized circuits reducing self-noise to only 4 dBA. A successful bridge between heritage and innovation.
Who Is It For? Vocals, Instruments, and Creators in Hybrid Setups
The NT1 5th generation is aimed at singers, voice-over artists, podcasters, content creators, and engineers seeking a single solution for vocals, guitar, piano, drums, and percussion. Via XLR, it integrates with any interface or console. Via USB-C, it becomes a studio-quality "plug-and-play" solution, ideal for quick recording without compromising fidelity.
Features Tailored for Modern Workflows
Dual XLR/USB "Dual Connect" Output
Instantly switch from a traditional analog chain to direct digital recording without an adapter. The ideal flexibility for hybrid studios.
32-bit Floating: No More Clipping
"Non-clippable" capture: even if the source level varies, you can adjust afterward while preserving full dynamics and without distortion.
High-End Conversion and Revolution Preamplifier
The high-gain, ultra-low noise preamp combined with conversion up to 192 kHz ensures minimal latency and precise reproduction of transients and detail.
Built-in DSP and APHEX Processing
Shape your sound at the source: high-pass filter, noise gate, compressor, plus the renowned APHEX Aural Exciter and Big Bottom, controllable via RØDE Central / RØDE Connect.
Premium Build and Complete Accessories
Machined aluminum body, durable finishes, capsule mounted on internal shock absorber. The SM6 suspension with integrated pop filter, XLR and USB-C cables, and dust cover are included for immediate recording.
