RØDE NT1 Kit Review & Unboxing | Best Home Studio Microphone 2021

- The RØDE NT1 Cardioid Condenser Microphone. In this video, I'm unboxing and exploring the Rode NT1 Microphone Kit and hoping to give you a better idea of why this microphone might be the best microphone for creatives and home studios ever (in my opinion)... This microphone is known to be the quietest microphone in the world! But does that say much? Watch the whole video to figure out.
► Get the RØDE NT1 KIT here: amzn.to/3bCU2zm
► Get the RØDE PSA1 here: amzn.to/2F7OOjl
Note: this mic is a Cardioid Condensor XLR microphone. This means that this mic does not connect with a USB cable, but works with an audio interface/soundcard. For this microphone, a 48V Phantom Power is required. The frequency ranges from 20Hz to 20kHz.
I'm also quickly showing the difference in sound between the three different RØDE microphones I use to record my voice. I'm comparing the Røde SmartLav+, the VideoMic Pro, and the NT1.
Other products I use with the microphone:
► Scarlett Focusrite 2i2: amzn.to/2RhADeI
► KRK Rokit 6: amzn.to/2y2mMBV
► Audio-Technica ATH-M50x: amzn.to/3c3kLEC
► Røde VideoMic Pro: amzn.to/2JPvUwo
► Røde SmartLav+: amzn.to/2xTNVqX

Quality review,
When I looked around for reviews for this microphone there weren't any. And now when I have this mic, the reviews are there when I don't need them anymore. But beside that, very nice review. Keep up the good work. :D
What made you look up reviews? Thank you! New video coming out really soon.
@@felixkruip A few years ago I wanted to buy this mic, (I have it now) and at this time there weren't any reviews out that were helpful. :)
Great review, definitely made my mind up from this video.
That's great to hear!
Good job, thank you for the video

Great review💖💖💖
Thank you 🤗
Not only after this perfect review I‘m glad to have purchased this microphone! 👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻
The only thing I would have liked better is the popshield shown in this video (mine was round).
High quality microphone that is affordable and high quality review!
I'm happy to hear that! The pop shield you got is part of a different NT1 Kit. Enjoy the mic!
Great Video 👍❤️ you should defently get more views
Hey, after watchung your video i bought the same kit only thing different is i got a other filter .. i didnt even tested it but im already loving it amazing build Quality
Great and convincing review man. I think you can use to voiceover or boadcasting media and content tutorials. All the best.
Thanks man, appreciate ya!
Great production
Thanks!
Hey, good review and nice video. Just one remark, it's really hard to focus on the content with the background music. For me it feels like 2 people are talking through each other and I lose my focus.
But let that not distract you ;-) keep up the good work!
This my go-to mic for longer Voice Over gigs. I do recommend ditching the provided Metal Pop-Filter though...it can actually accentuate T, F and S sounds. A Mesh Pop-Filter is both smaller and better at taming those frequencies.
Another fun tip...you can actually take apart and flip the internals of the shock mount so the mic can be used upside down. It's a quick hack to give yourself more space in an office or VO booth instead of having the entire mic, shock mount and boom arm in your way. Speaking directly into the mic diaphragm rather than into the body helps tame S sounds as well.
Great review!!
Thank you so much for commenting, I really enjoyed reading it!
I've noticed the metal pop making a weird 'S' indeed! Great catch. Do you recommend any mesh pop-filters? Also, tell me about your other favorite mics!
I will definitely be trying the shock mount flip! (edit: do you have a picture for me? I can't seem to figure it out..)
Cheers!
@@felixkruip The Sterling PF2 is the pop filter I've been using for a while now. They're pretty inexpensive and the mesh is very transparent frequency-wise.
The Rode NT-1, Sennheiser MK4 and the Sennheiser MKH416 are my workhorses. Believe it or not one of my clients requests the NT-1 over the MKH416 for their ads! They love the smoothness of the Rode.
To flip the shock mount you'll need to unscrew the little up/down adjustment screw on the rear of the shock mount all the way. Take it out completely...there is a small pin inside, pop that out too. Now you can access the entire housing. Pulling it apart can pinch your fingers a bit so be careful. Now you can separate the shock mount part from the piece that screws into your boom arm. Flip the shock mount over, reassemble it and BOOM! Now the mic is upside down and the body is out of your way.
I have my VO booth set up this way and it makes seeing scripts way easier. Even better, mics that aren't designed for that shock mount will still fit if they have a similar screw-in setup. I modded the stock shock mount ring for my Sennheiser MK4 so it is compatible with the Rode shock mount. I can switch mics in the booth in like 30 seconds without swapping shock mounts. ;)
Hope that helped.
6:45 that headset hook under the desk is very neat
Holy smokes i love the quality of your vid! You deserve more subs. You definitely got one from me!
Heey thank you! And awesome to see you here.
This dude only got 9k subs? Wtf he deserves more
😁✌🏼
Great video! Im recieving this one tommorow and and when i opened the video i could immediatly hear you are dutch too haha, your channel looks great!
That's awesome!
Did the mic perform as you expected? Are you happy with it? :)
@@nikolajhansen15 yes its great, i love adam sandler
@@nikolajhansen15 i was bron in 1954
Good Stuff!
cool video mate rly
Appreciate it!
Great Review! What is the background music title? loved the song.
Very nice video bro !! i think i am going to by both, mic and audio card for my streams !!
Thanks man! Great choice. Enjoy!
@@felixkruip you deserve more subs i hope one day you will reach much more , nice editing , nice guy , nice explanation !! thanks again !
Thanks for your kind words! I really appreciate it
quality! a1
What is the song playing in the background? It’s gorgeous. Also, amazing review and it’s convinced me to purchase the kit 😊
Bro your videos are full of information and quality, you should have millions of subscribers in the future with this type of work as a content creator I notice every small piece and the time you take to edit your videos and btw what monitor are you using
Thank you so much! 😀 I'm using an 4K AOC 2777PQU and LG 34GN850
Damn this was a solid review. Sold!
Please make a video on "how to connect Scarlett 2i2 to the receiver unit & how it works."
That's nice mic
if you want a good and nice audio interface, i recommend SSL 2 or SSL2+, all of the inputs are behind the interface so cables are not shown in your desk, and it has really nice amps,
Good video, I wonder if the arm will hold the Townsend Lab L22
Спасибо! Хороший обзор
great video what was the song playing in the background with the guy singing?
Nice video! Off topic question, what background do you have?
Where can I buy the XLR cable? Amazing video!
THANKS for doing a video review on it. I ordered one just now :D, Great review! What's the song in the background @5:10?

Hey! Great review, how much does the mic, filter and shock mount weigh?
Nice job Fellow Creator👍
Subbed,Liked and hit the bell
Much appreciated fellow creator!
What music is used? Btw, great video!
Great review man! What do you usually tweak in post for your audio voice overs? Keep it up man!
Appreciate it! I mostly do compRession, EQ, and limiting. I can make a tutorial about it if you'd like that.
How to Creative awesome! And yeah absolutely! It sounds buttery smooth, I’d love to see your EQ workflow, I just got this mic and I’d love to master it as much as I can. You got my Sub 👌🏼
Haha awesome! I put it on my to-do list. Appreciate ya!
Really appreciated this review! Next time, consider using music without lyrics - it made it more difficult to hear your voice, which is a critical aspect of this video.
Thanks, hmm it did cross my mind. This was the first time I used a track with lyrics. I thought there was enough compression/sidechaining going on. Not enough it seems. Thanks for the tip.
So Nice ...
Hele goede review Felix, maar waar kan ik deze kit nog krijgen in dezelfde configuratie? Ik heb me gesubscribed op je channel👊👍😎
Bedankt. Tof dat je ge-subscribed bent! Ik heb even gekeken, maar het lijkt dat de kit in deze configuratie uitverkocht is in NL. Even wachten, of de alternatieve kit kopen.
Good work, I found the background music a bit loud and disturbing. Probably you can check it out on your next videos :)
Yea, other people have mentioned it too.. Should be better in future videos
Good review although I found the background music track to be terribly distracting with the vocals.
Thanks, yea I made a mistake. Won't do it again! 😁
Could we have more details about the XLR cable please ?
Excellent man, how you made that elevation system for the desk?
Thanks, it's an automatic desk by IKEA. I recently made a video about it.
The quality of this video is very high!
Excellent review. I bought this mic in the Complete Studio Kit (incl XLR cable) with the AI-1 interface for best results and ultra low noise. Got the PSA-1 separately too. Do you recommend Ableton Live over Adobe Audition? Keep up the good work.
Thank you! I do recommend Ableton live a lot, but audition is also great depending on what you are using it for.
@@felixkruip Thanks for your reply. Well it would be just for voiceover work as such, not midi or live. I got a free version of Ableton 10 Lite with the Rode studio kit.
@@anthonymagnier2331 Hi , I hope you are doing well , can you tell me how did things go for you , i got a good deal for a used one like you have with the AI-1 interface and Im looking to see if it's worth it , is the asmr filter good despite being from metal?
Can u Tell me how you edit your voice on this video ?
And how you mix that with music ?
Very clean and easy to listen
it sounds like he used this mic to record the entire review. the transition from the other mics to the NT1 was crispy.
I did record the entire review with the mic indeed; to give the viewer an idea what it sounds like.
@@felixkruip Cool. You sold me on it. I ordered it from Amazon because of your video. Thanks.
When he switched to the NT1... I died
Is the NT1 with Focusrite solo an good option? I know solo isn't the best but I'm only recording vocals and already have a solo.
Your content's been super helpful man.
Yep, perfect mic/interface combo! You will love it. Thanks for the kind words
Hi, the kit you have is a bit different than the one in the amazon link above. Is it possible to get a link to the same one you have? Yours has a premium shock mount. Tanks for the video, keep it going!
The kit that he's got is the older version, nothing really premium about that Rycote shock mount, in fact the one you see on Amazon is a lot better and more professional shock mount , and in the new kit you'll also get a nice 6m xlr cable and an adjustable pop filter.
Great review, but the background music is distracting.
was thinking about getting the nt1 5th generation usb, but I was a bit hesitant about using it in a untreated room aka my bedroom. Some say it should only be used in a controlled setting bc it picks up way too much background noise along with sounding boxy. Have you sound treated your room since purchasing this mic? If not how do you deal with background noise? noise gate?
What's The best nt1 or nt1a ? Please reply me
I would say the Rode NT1 :)
Greatly appreciate your amazing review of the mic!
Might I suggest adding Amazon EU links to the description as well?
I would love to buy it through a sponsored link but Amazon unfortunately does not let me switch regions.
That’s very kind of you, although the link should automatically change with the region that you’re from. Although I’m only registered in Germany, UK, and the Netherlands.
@@felixkruip Oh, how odd! It does always send me to Amazon US & when I change the region to Germany, I arrive back at the Amazon start page instead of the product page.
@@veeveehearts5404 here you go! amzn.to/3E9F29I thanks for the support.
Hey bro, great video. Just wanted to ask what Headset you use? I’m not quite sure what headset will fit in the scarlet headset Jack so im just wondering what one ur using?
I’m using the Audio Technica ATH m50x. But every headphone works with with a jack to mini jack converter
@@felixkruip sweet. Thank u bro, keep making these awesome videos👍
xlr cable should be male to female right when connecting the rode nt1 kit to scarlett 2i2?
Yea!
