Presentation
This hybrid microphone, which is USB 2.0 and XLR compatible, offers unrivalled flexibility, allowing it to be used in both traditional studio set-ups and direct digital recording.
Designed with a cardioid pick-up pattern, the NT1 Gen5 picks up sound mainly in front of the capsule, effectively reducing unwanted noise from the sides and rear. The 1-inch gold-plated condenser capsule ensures accurate and detailed sound capture, covering a wide frequency range from 20Hz to 20kHz.
The NT1 Gen5 boasts ultra-low noise of just 4 dBA, making it one of the quietest microphones on the market. This makes it possible to record delicate sound sources without interference. Its ability to handle sound pressure levels (SPL) of up to 142 dB also makes it suitable for noisy environments and powerful instruments.
Equipped with a high-quality A/D converter, the NT1 Gen5 offers 48, 96 and 192 kHz resolutions with 24-bit or 32-bit floating-point bit depth, guaranteeing superior audio quality and great flexibility in digital signal processing.
APHEX digital processing, available at 48 kHz, adds an extra professional dimension to your recordings with high-quality built-in effects.
The microphone is equipped with 3-pin XLR connectors requiring 48V phantom power and a USB-C connector for direct power via USB (5V), making it easy to integrate with a variety of audio equipment. The body of the NT1 Gen5 is covered with a scratch-resistant ceramic coating, ensuring increased robustness and longevity.
Made in Australia, the Røde NT1 Gen5 Silver comes with a full set of accessories, including a 6-metre red XLR cable, an SM6 suspension with telescopic arm-mounted pop filter to eliminate plosives, a 3-metre USB-C / USB-C cable (SC29), and a dust cover.
The NT1 Gen5 is compatible with Windows 10 and Mac OS 10.15 or later, ensuring broad compatibility with modern systems. Since its initial launch in 1991, the NT1 has evolved into an indispensable tool for recording professionals, and this fifth generation continues that heritage with cutting-edge technology.
