Rode NT1 5th Generation Microphone
The NT1 5th Generation of RØDE's legendary large diaphragm bestseller in a completely redesigned and up-to-date version impresses with its incredibly low self-noise, its high sound pressure level and the unchanged silky-transparent sound of its predecessor. The "Dual Connect" connection in the base is brand new - with XLR3-M (analog) and USB-C (digital). The NT1 5th Generation can be operated traditionally with a preamp or audio interface as well as connected directly to a computer. Thanks to the high-gain Revolution preamp, audiophile 192 kHz A/D converter and 32-bit floating point audio, the NT1 5th Generation is also a premium USB microphone with first-class signal quality. Using RØDE's free streaming/recording software 'Connect', you can utilize the built-in DSP chip and enhance the signal in the microphone with a high-pass filter, noise gate, compressor and Aphex® - an ideal feature for podcasters and streamers.
With its minimal self-noise of just 4 dBA (world record!), the NT1 5th Generation is also suitable for extremely quiet instruments, provided it is operated with a quality interface. Or you can use the built-in high-tech preamp/converter and connect directly to the computer via the included USB-C cable. With a maximum sound pressure level of 142 dB, there is nothing to stop the NT1 5th Generation from being used for recording guitar and bass amplifiers, brass instruments with mics, drum overheads or other very loud sound sources.
Speaking of loud sound sources - the NT1 5th Generation is the first microphone in the world to deliver 32-bit floating point audio. The advantage is obvious: as long as the sound pressure limit of 142 dB is not exceeded, it is virtually impossible to distort the signal through incorrect gain settings or digital clipping. On the contrary, only with 32-bit floating point is it possible to fully exploit the enormous dynamics of the microphone even with surprising level jumps and to subsequently compensate for flattened level peaks by normalizing them when recording in the DAW.
As usual, the scope of delivery includes the deluxe SM6 spider, a dust bag, a 6 m quality XLR cable plus a 3 m USB-C to USB-C cable. Registered users receive a 10-year warranty on the microphone from RØDE, provided it was purchased from an Authorized Dealer.
