The World’s First 32-bit Float Microphone

RØDE designed the NT1 5th Generation to be a truly groundbreaking mic, letting you record anything from a whisper to a scream without having to worry about setting to gain to avoid clipping. Thanks to 5th Gen’s 32-bit float digital output, you can normalize the gain “in the mix,” instead of being stuck with an unusably loud audio file and being left at the mercy of your editing software—or even worse, tasked with having to redo an otherwise perfect take. No matter the instrument you’re recording, rest assured you’ll maintain all the dynamics of your performance—without any risk of clipping.

Dual Connect Output and Revolution Mic Preamp

The NT1 5th Generation takes another unprecedented leap forward with RØDE’s Dual Connect XLR and USB output. In addition to the classic, beautiful NT1 sound via the XLR output, the 5th Generation offers that same sonic character with even more possibilities through its built-in interface and USB digital output. This includes the Revolution Preamp, which has ultralow noise, high gain, up to 192kHz analog-to-digital conversion and advanced DSP.

Superb Quality and Peerless Dynamic Range

Built in Sydney, Australia at RØDE’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities from premium components, the NT1 5th Generation boasts the exceptionally low noise, high-SPL handling alongside its silky-smooth sonic signature of the classic NT1 models—and then some. Its HF6 capsule is internally shockmounted and spec’d out at the sub-micron level to yield impeccably consistent frequency response and tonality. The NT1 5th Gen also happens to be the quietest studio condenser microphone in the world, with a jaw-droppingly low 4dBA self-noise. What’s more, its rugged aluminum housing and resilient, high-grade finish ensure it’s built to last.

All the Accessories and RØDE App Suite Compatibility

Like its predecessors, the NT1 5th Generation mic comes with a custom shockmount and pop filter. It also comes with a high-quality XLR cable featuring Canare cabling and Neutrik connectors, as well as a USB-C cable. This NT1 works with a suite of free apps, including RØDE Central companion app, RØDE Connect podcasting app and UNIFY streaming app, giving you the flexibility to adjust settings, access DSP features, update firmware and much more.
