The Rode NT1 is a large diaphragm condenser microphone that is designed for use in studio recording applications such as acoustic guitar, vocals, and podcasting. It has a cardioid pickup pattern, which means it is sensitive to sound coming from directly in front of the microphone and less sensitive to sound coming from the sides and rear. The NT1 has a 1" gold-sipped capsule, which is known for its smooth and natural sound.

The NT1 has a low self-noise level of just 4.5 dBA, making it suitable for recording even the most subtle of sounds. It also has a high maximum SPL (sound pressure level) of 142 dB, so it can handle loud sound sources without distorting. Being a condenser microphone, it does require +48V phantom power, so please be sure you're using a mixer, recorder, or interface that can supply that.

The NT1 comes with a shock mount that also uses a built-in pop filter. It uses a standard 3-pin XLR connection for its signal.

Overall, the Rode NT1 is a versatile and high-quality microphone that is ideal for recording vocals, instruments, and more. It is our go-to mic for recording voiceovers and high-quality video conferencing, giving the user a clean, well-balanced sound signature.
