RODE NT1 Overview
RODE NT1 5th Generation Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser XLR/USB Microphone (Black)
An NT1 with XLR and USB for Recording, Podcasting, and Streaming
Featuring both an analog XLR connector and a digital USB-C connector, the black Rode NT1 5th Generation represents another major leap forward for this highly regarded large-diaphragm workhorse microphone. The dual connection options offer a new level of flexibility, allowing users without an audio interface to plug directly into the computer for recording, podcasting, and streaming duties courtesy of the onboard 32-bit floating point A to D converter. Of course, if you have an audio interface, podcasting station, or favorite microphone preamp, no problem-just connect the mic's XLR output to your analog equipment and you're good to go. Combining a true-condenser capsule, ultralow-noise circuitry, and an extremely durable housing, the Rode NT1 5th Generation large-diaphragm cardioid microphone is well suited for high-resolution digital recording of vocal and instrument sources at home, in the studio, or even onstage.
Internally Shockmounted HF6 Cardioid Condenser Capsule
- Behind the protective mesh grille, the mic features Rode's 1" gold-sputtered HF6 capsule, designed to provide a detailed midrange response with smooth highs and warm bass.
- The cardioid polar pattern focuses audio capture on the souce in front of the mic, picking up less unwanted ambient sound from the back and sides.
- The transducer itself is suspended inside the microphone using Rycote's industry-leading Lyre system, minimizing external vibrations at the capsule level. The capsule is then married to high-grade electronics that have been designed to provide an extremely low noise level. The NT1 5th Gen is an incredibly quiet microphone, measuring only 4 dBA of self-noise.
- The mic is powered by phantom power through the XLR connector or by bus power through the USB-C port.
Revolution Preamp and 32-Bit Floating Point Converters
- Rode has equipped the digital side of the NT1 5th Gen with some innovative features to ensure you get outstanding audio quality from the USB connection, beginning with the built-in Revolution preamp which provides plenty of ultralow-noise gain to feed the analog to digital converter.
- With its 32-bit floating point A to D converter, you'll never need to worry about clipping again. The converter supplies supplies such a high headroom and wide dynamic range that its virtually impossible to overload, allowing you to worry less about maintaining perfect recording levels and focus more on your creative work.
- Sampling rates of up to 192 kHz are supported.
Bundled Accessories
- The NT1 5th Generation is supplied with the SM6, a studio-grade suspension shockmount that provides isolation from external physical factors that may cause unwanted rumble and vibrations in the microphone.
- The SM6 includes a removable pop shield with two axes of adjustment and a telescopic arm for ultimate application versatility.
- The mic also comes with a balanced XLR microphone cable and a USB-C to USB-C cable.
- A carrying pouch is also supplied.

Auray RF-5P-R Five-Panel Reflection Filter (Black and Red, Plastic)
Great for recording in untreated rooms, the Auray RF-5P-R Five-Panel Reflection Filter isolates your microphone from its surrounding environment to minimize distracting noises and diffuse unwanted acoustic reflections. The five, multilayered panels with perforations and high-density acoustic foam combine to absorb ambient noise without adding coloration to your sound, enhancing the clarity and presence of your voice for professional-sounding podcasts, voiceovers, and vocal recordings at home or in the studio.
The RF-5P-R is compatible with most microphone stands and it has integrated feet for standalone desktop recording. A sliding bracket allows you to mount any condenser, dynamic, or USB microphone and easily adjust the depth of the mic's position inside the filter for precise placement. The panels are made of sturdy, yet lightweight plastic and fold up to a tight ring for convenient storage and travel.
Five-Panel Flexible Design
- Five adjustable panels, each with a fold-down top panel enable you to configure the filter to meet your acoustic needs. Spread the panels to form a filter wall for miking speaker cabinets, or fold them to create a narrow, 300° enclosure for maximum isolation and dry, clean vocals.
- The panels feature a stylish black finish with red accents.
Three-Layer Acoustic Isolation
The RF-5P-R filter offers three-layers of isolation that includes a high-density acoustic foam, a layer of acoustic fabric, and perforated screens.
- The high-density acoustic foam absorbs acoustic reflections and minimizes room ambience.
- The perforated screens diffuse sound as it passes through the shield, preventing sound reflections from bouncing off surfaces and back into the microphone.
Fold-Down Top Panels
- The RF-5P-R is equipped with flip-down top panels that help minimize noise coming from above the microphone including overhead air ducts and fluorescent light fixtures.
Mic-Stand and Desktop Isolation
- Built-in feet let you mount the RF-5P-R on a desktop for recording podcasts at home or in the office.
- The 5/8" -27 thread enables you to mount the filter on a standard studio mic stand.
Adjustable Microphone Bracket
- Whether you're using a large-diaphragm studio condenser or a handheld dynamic mic, the sliding bracket lets you position your microphone inside the filter for the ideal isolation.
