RØDE NT1 5th Gen Review (With Audio Demos)

RØDE's latest iteration to their infamous NT1 microphone is making waves across the audio world. With XLR + USB connectivity for versatility, plus world-first “unclippable” 32-bit float digital output, advanced digital signal processing and more -- we wanted to get our hands on it to test drive how good it actually is.

I loved the sound!

Excellent information, I always use the Electrovoice RE-20 in my Podcasts but soon I will record a new chapter with this new NT1 5th Gen Microphone. Greetings.

Thanks Noah

First time I see a mic test with "Lute" ✨🍀

I'm not sure "infamous" means what you think it does, but otherwise, a great review. Thank you; thumbs up!

[@coleedwards1634]

Would you recommend this mic to someone that would be using it in a untreated environment aka a bedroom? This mic would only be used for personal use, not looking to become a voice actor or music- I just like good quality products- was looking into the rode podmic usb as well. Appreciate any input you can give me.

H. When you connected USB, what software did you use to record the signal on your computer ?

[@cubetalkhdmi7311]

GOOD EVENING, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU PUT THE LINK WHERE TO BUY THE TABLE ARM TO CONNECT THE ROETN1 5GEN

[@MichaelW.1980]

The first to feature USB and XLR connectivity? On studio microphones maybe. But in General? Nope. Not even close. Shure MV7, Blue Yeti Pro. Audio Technica ATR2100x. Because of that I wouldn’t call this feature ground breaking.
That being said, I have loved the NT1 sound forever. I can’t justify it on my use case though.

[@DenizCayir]

I think it is the first condenser mic with USB or?

[@MAJESTY4305]

If it worked usb c and xlr at the same time use, I think I would have bought it right away.

[@Kipacus]

It does have both XLR and USB-C

[@jaishankarms]

It looks like Logic Pro does not support it.

[@alinvaduva4487]

Really?

[@DayyFinesse]

It don’t smh

[@AdventureswithJack453]

It would be nice to hear the mic through a decent interface.

[@Geohillierneo]

Bit harsh but okay

[@HarvinderSingh-yy8th]

Gen 4 is better.

[@MrBlackPasta]

[@baxxtian]
