Good review. I've been using this microphone for almost 4 years. I would highly recommend it for singing vocals or singing to backing tracks. The mic. is very sturdy as I've let it fall by mistake on two occasions. I've noticed that when connecting to Windows 10 the audio levels have to be set pretty high. This did not happen on previous versions of windows. Like all u.s.b. microphones the post editing after recording can really make it sound way better...This microphone can be used as an external mic. for your phone. All you need is a little O.T.G. cable & a free app. called Open Camera. You will notice immediately the improvement v your phone internal mic. I also have a Blue Snowball which does not work with my phone. Hope the above may be of benefit to some folks out there.
really? I got the mic and I'm not pleased because it has 100% gain/ my voice clips when I sing.. it seems really sensitive, and it also picks up noise from literally the creaks of the floor to someone opening the tap water..
Bro, I sincerely love you!!!!! I was trying and trying to record myself with my cellphone and external mic without success and you just gave me the answer! Thx
Thank you for the review. I like it that you used the microphone stand provided in the package, so that I could see how it would look like in front of the computer.
For those who are wondering about phone compatibility , I found this works well with my Samsung a52s 5g. I was worried that the power output of the phone could be too low, but there's no issue. May be different for some phones tho.
I prefere the Rode to the Blue Yeti from all the reviews I’ve seen, but the blue yeti has the possibility to have stereo sound, to make interviews, etc. Not only a cardioid sound. That’s why I’m hesitating a lot
Thanks, we bought this one, thanks for a full-circle review. // The earlier ones of Kevin are ( to us ) almost better than the later ones: less decoration comes very good, and just text, info, and to the essence ( as we think) - much more natural and pure content
Watched this video to get a good idea of the microphone for podcasting and streaming, this really helped my decision. I'll probably get a boom swivel mount and a shock mount too. Good review, thanks man.
did it give you the sound you were looking for? i heard its lacking the studio sound where we hear in a high quality podcasts ..thats why im still hesitant
Bought Rode NT-USB. Did not work correctly from the beginning. Connecting to PC ok, but not working or working very poorly, loosing connection. It turned out that the supplied USB cable (very long 6m) is the cause of the problems. I have measured the cable charactereistics (I have oscilloscope etc.) and it does not comply to USB specifications. Not even fully compliant with USB 1.1.Full Speed (12mbit/s). Shame for company with such reputation to include such poor cables. Bought another USB cable and it works.
here's a video on how to edit for RUclips (ruclips.net/video/6E_OccV6e5w/видео.html) and another on how to upload to RUclips (ruclips.net/video/VtF2AgFSLAw/видео.html)... hope this helps, let me know if you need anything else!
im kinda confused with these mics.... Im searching for a new mic, something clear and nice, not too expencive. But im not sure when buying do you need some aditional system for the mic? Or you just plug the usb in the pc and thats all?
Hey Kevin, thanks. Do i need to get it a phantom power v48? Tried it on ableton 11 live it wont read though when i sing it records poor warps of audio sounds like acoustic shrill.. Can the phantom power improve audio quality?
thanks for this video, I've bought it but I don't know how to connect it to my Canon G7X markii. Please can you help me. I need it also for my RUclips videos. thanks
Kindly help me, my Rode NT USB is taking too much sound my neighbors background sound,, how can i remove this. means this mike is too sensitive it takes sounds like 1KM away sounds. please help Greetings from India
They are sharp I recorded some vocals with it and I had to work the eq plug ins to the fullest and I had to multi band compress the highs seriously but it came out fine.
Hi Kevin, can you please help🙏 Today I purchased the RODE NT USB. I have a Macbook Pro 2019 [USB-c] but have a USB Hub for conversion, Blue Led shows for power on & Microphone Identifies in Systems Prefs, but I have tried to record something in both the Rode CONNECT App & Audacity & just getting silence on the recording, any help appreciated, thanks - Robbie
Im only going to use this for zoom meetings just cuz i realized I sounded like crap for a year LOl i dont want peoples impression of me to be taht remotely T_T

Thank you Kevin, super helpful review
Great video, was wondering what boon mic I needed
I'm surprised you have a list comparing the SM7B to this rode. One is xlr mic, one is usb.
great sound, man! it's unedited, isn't it? thanks for the review
yeah! no editing of the sound. Buying this mic has been a big upgrade for my sound quality. Cheers!
Good review dude

Hello Kevin!
My name is John.
Good sound. Thanks! Mini is great too!
Great review, thanks a lot!
He said microphone/mic 63 times
does it have bad plosions
Thank you :) I hate reading instructions
Oh, you filmed on my Birthday Eve
:) Happy birthday!
@@KevinStratvert thank you :)
Great Video Thx Kev
The dedicated. Thank you.
I find the mic to be sensitive to pick up sound from literally anywhere and anything, downstairs etc. It's also sensitive to my voice, it clips fast.
You should use a noise canceller/ noise gate to reduce outside noise and just pull back from the mic to limit it clipping your voice.
How sensitive is it? I am worried about it picking up my ceiling fan and whatnot.
Hi, thank you so much for the video, and also can I know how to make a full video to up load to youtube? l'll be appreciated.

Would you recommend this mic for better zoom calls or sth closer to earbuds instead?
Rode NT-USB Microphone sounds nice
Hey what program do you use for voice recording with the Rode?
How about white noise? Do you need to remove air noise in editing?
Thanks Kevin, The microphone does not seem to be picking up on my macbook, any advice?

Can you use it with phones?
I purchased RODE mic, plugged it in and then I couldn't hear soundtrack I had installed in my PowerPoint until I disconnected it. Help
Do you have any recommendations for a "Mic Boom Arm" for the Rode NT-USB; headphones, and speakers for computer.
Is it good for beginner artist
Hi! Why does Rodes Software Connect not Support the mic ? Or does it in the meanwhile?
Kindly help me, my Rode NT USB is taking too much sound my neighbors background sound,, how can i remove this. means this mike is too sensitive it takes sounds like 1KM away sounds.
please help
Greetings from India
I bought this microphone and I am veeeery disappointed
I’m wondering what sound is it the “tut tut” thing ? I’ve heard using my headphone it’s noticeable when you speak
Good mic for voice overs?
Its very quiet out the box how to make it louder? Just got it
How well does this mic do ambience (wind, trees, birds, rain, thunder etc)?
can you use an usb female to 3.5 male adapter to use for a micro usb on a dslr to record videos?
How do you connect the microphone to your camera?
I sold this mic yesterday, the S's sound way too sharp. hurts the ears of anyone who listens to it. would Not recommend buying this mic
They are sharp I recorded some vocals with it and I had to work the eq plug ins to the fullest and I had to multi band compress the highs seriously but it came out fine.
Hi Kevin, can you please help🙏

Does the mic work well with a power USB hub?
Best gain settings for Windows 10?
Is your room sound treated?
Do you edit your audio in post ? Mess with gain? Compression ? Threshold ? Or just straight from mic to vid ? Thanks!
Maybe a bit late, but he isn't (he answered that on another comment, therefore I know :)
@@sabedi2129 thanks
Can I connect two rode NT-USB microphones to one computer and record audio at the same time?
Well? Can you?
2 years later, yes. You setup two sources on OBS, one for each mic
Rode over Shure!? you are insane...you are comparing a toy with a proper microphone
just bought one for £25
Why dnt u first start on how to put the thing together....lol...like on the stand
About the same price range
Proceeds to show SM7B which is $200 more…
Cmon now
Im only going to use this for zoom meetings just cuz i realized I sounded like crap for a year LOl i dont want peoples impression of me to be taht remotely T_T
Is it true - that I cannot connect my nt-usb to røde-connect?
It's true, sadly
Does it work for PC gaming well or at all?
Very well
If you got it - how'd it go?
Can anyone tell me if you can adjust the height of the mic when it’s on the stand? Does the stand adjust at all?
You can’t adjust the height although you can adjust the angle of the mic. If you want to adjust the height, I’d recommend picking up a separate stand.
Okay, so can anybody help me with a cheaper Mic boom arm?? bc im not gonna pay 50 dollars for the normal one ;/

Awesome review and thanks!
