Just unveiled is the NT1 Signature Series, the newest iteration of RODE's legendary studio condenser microphone. Celebrating over 30 years of excellence, the NT1 has been the go-to choice for professional audio recording, with over 6 million units sold worldwide. This microphone has been the trusted companion of musicians, podcasters, streamers, voice-over artists, and content creators alike. The NT1 Signature Series builds upon the success of the NT1 5th Generation, which combined the classic NT1 sound with innovative features like Dual Connect output for both XLR and USB connectivity, a 32-bit float digital output, and on-board DSP.
The 5th Generation also saw an upgrade in the NT1's analog circuitry, resulting in lower noise, higher SPL handling capabilities, a smoother frequency response, and a more controlled pickup pattern. Now, the NT1 Signature Series brings these high-performance specifications to the table, along with the classic NT1 sound signature. It retains the original XLR-only design of previous generations, offering exceptional sound quality, best-in-class specifications, and the legendary RODE build quality at an unbeatable price point. For the first time, the NT1 Signature Series is available in a range of limited-edition colors including red, green, purple, pink, and blue, allowing creators to express their unique style in both sound and color.
The NT1 Signature Series continues the legacy of the iconic NT1 microphone, delivering the same quality and affordability that creators have come to expect from an NT1, with improved performance and a fresh aesthetic. This microphone offers the same warm, silky character that has made the NT1 the go-to microphone for everyone from musicians to voice-over artists, podcasters, streamers, and other content creators. The NT1 Signature Series features RODE's stunning HF6 capsule, precision-engineered to sub-micron tolerances to ensure the utmost consistency in tonality and frequency response. It is internally shock-mounted to minimize vibrations, delivering rich, warm bass, a detailed midrange, and a sparkling top end.
It excels in a wide range of studio applications, from recording acoustic guitar, percussion, and other acoustic instruments, to drums, electric guitar, and piano. Its tight cardioid polar pattern offers excellent rejection of background noise, and its smooth frequency response and high sensitivity offer incredible balance and clarity. The NT1 Signature Series is made from premium components in RODE's precision manufacturing facilities in Sydney, Australia. Each microphone also comes with a studio-grade shock mount and pop filter and a premium XLR cable. With its enhanced circuitry delivering high SPL handling capabilities and an astonishingly low self-noise of just 4dBA, the NT1 Signature Series stands as the world's quietest studio condenser microphone, alongside the NT1 5th Generation.
