Rode NT1 5th Generation Black Stuudio kondensaatormikrofon

Hybrid Studio Condenser Microphone

The Rode NT1 5th Generation Black is a cardioid condenser microphone that merges the classic warm character of the NT1 with a Dual Connect output, offering both XLR and USB connectivity. This model is ideal for vocalists, podcasters, and home-studio producers seeking one microphone for either an audio interface or direct computer connection. Featuring a 1-inch HF6 capsule, 4 dBA self-noise, and a groundbreaking 32-bit float digital output, it sets new standards in hybrid studio recording.

What Makes This Microphone Unique

Thanks to its patent-pending Dual Connect XLR/USB hybrid output, the same capsule can route signal to either an analog preamp or the built-in audio interface without needing to swap microphones. What stands out is the 32-bit float digital output—a world-first for a studio condenser—delivering so much dynamic range that audio clipping becomes impossible.

HF6 Capsule and Cardioid Pattern — Detailed Capture

Internally shock-mounted and precision-manufactured to sub-micron tolerances, the HF6 1-inch (25 mm) true condenser capsule imparts the NT1's signature warmth and silky character. While the cardioid polar pattern focuses capture on your source, it simultaneously rejects unwanted room ambience.

• Polar Pattern: Cardioid — targets the source
• Capsule: HF6 1-inch (25 mm) gold-sputtered true condenser, internally shock-mounted
• Frequency Response: 20 Hz – 20 kHz — full-range

Dual Connect Output and 32-bit Float — Unlimited Recording Potential

Users benefit from both XLR analog and USB-C digital connections, ensuring the same character on any signal path. The internal interface is equipped with RØDE's Revolution Preamp and supports conversion up to 192 kHz. With 32-bit float, capture everything from a whisper to a 142 dB SPL scream without distortion.

• Output: XLR + USB-C Dual Connect
• A/D Resolution: up to 32-bit / 192 kHz with 32-bit float output
• Max SPL: 142 dB — designed for loud drums

Self-Noise, Power, and Build — Engineered for Studio Life

With self-noise at only 4 dBA, this model is known as one of the quietest studio condenser microphones worldwide. The body is crafted from robust aluminium with premium finishing, XLR output uses 48 V phantom power, and the USB-C output is bus-powered.

• Self-Noise: 4 dBA
• Power: 48 V phantom (XLR) / USB bus power (USB-C)
• Dimensions & Weight: 189 mm × 52 mm, 308 g

Who Will Value This Microphone

Home-studio vocalists, podcasters, and voiceover artists who want a single mic for direct laptop connection find this model especially practical. The 32-bit float safety net is ideal for beginners, while experienced engineers appreciate the NT1 capsule's sonic quality combined with APHEX DSP for a polished result.

The NT1 Legacy — Updated for Modern Studios

Debuting in 1991, the NT1 earned its place as the world’s most popular studio microphone, famed for its warm, classic tone. The 5th Generation retains this essence—the same HF6 capsule—while introducing Dual Connect output, 32-bit float capture, and APHEX DSP. Production takes place at RØDE’s Sydney, Australia facilities.
