Rode NT1 5th Generation Silver — The World's Quietest Studio Condenser, Reimagined

The Rode NT1 5th Generation Silver merges the iconic NT1 warmth with advanced digital features. In this model, RØDE's patent-pending Dual Connect output delivers both XLR and USB-C options, plus a pioneering 32-bit float digital signal path.

Why Creators Choose This Microphone

With Dual Connect output, users can instantly switch from an analog XLR chain to a direct USB-C computer connection. Inside, the Revolution Preamp™ and 32-bit float A/D conversion (up to 192 kHz) work alongside APHEX® DSP processing for pro-level clarity and tonal shaping via Aural Exciter™ and Big Bottom™.

Capsule and Polar Pattern — Focused Sound, Pristine Detail

A cardioid pickup pattern targets the sound source and reduces unwanted room noise. Gold-sputtered HF6 diaphragm (1-inch) excels at revealing midrange detail and capturing both smooth highs and rich low end.

• Polar Pattern: Cardioid — isolates the performer from ambient distractions
• Capsule: 1-inch HF6 true condenser, gold-sputtered — engineered for classic NT1 tone, manufactured to extreme precision
• Perfect for vocals and acoustic instruments, the 25.4 mm large-diaphragm design delivers nuanced character in every take.

Performance — Ultra-Low Noise, Maximum Headroom

Noise floor and SPL shape any recording session. This model leads its class with only 4 dBA self-noise, and the 142 dB max SPL tolerates everything from soft vocals to drums and amps at close range.

• Frequency Range: 20 Hz - 20 kHz — captures the complete audio spectrum
• Self-Noise: 4 dBA — among the quietest for capturing subtle performances
• Maximum SPL: 142 dB — ideal for high-output sources with no distortion

Analog and Digital — Flexible Recording, Modern Workflows

Creators can connect via XLR for classic setups or USB-C for direct digital capture—no interface needed. The 32-bit float output means you’ll never worry about perfect gain settings again.

• Analog Output: XLR 3-pin male — works with standard audio interfaces and 48V phantom power
• Digital Output: USB-C (USB 2.0) — plug-and-play on macOS and Windows
• A/D Conversion: 24-bit or 32-bit float, up to 192 kHz — delivers high-resolution audio with unclippable headroom
• Use either 48V phantom or 5V USB bus power for flexible studio or mobile setups.

For Home Studios, Podcasters, and Creators

This microphone is a strong choice for producers, podcasters, and streamers seeking a single solution for both audio interfaces and direct computer connections. Solo users will appreciate the 32-bit float USB capability, while those who prefer analog get the trusted NT1 sound via XLR. Accessories such as the SM6 shockmount and both cables complete the package.

The NT1 Line — Evolving Since 1991

First launched in 1991, the NT1 became renowned worldwide for its warm and classic sound. The 5th Generation Silver upholds this legacy, now with modern digital options that bridge the gap between traditional analog and new USB workflows. Each microphone is designed and crafted at RØDE’s facility in Sydney, Australia.
