With the introduction of the NT1 Signature Series, RODE continues to redefine the landscape of studio condenser microphones. This latest addition to the iconic NT1 series, which has sold over 6 million units in its 30-year history, maintains its status as the world's most sought-after studio microphone. It's a favorite among a diverse range of users, from bedroom musicians and studio professionals to podcasters, streamers, voice over artists, and content creators. The NT1 Signature Series follows the successful launch of the NT1 5th Generation, which combined the classic sound signature of the NT1 with state-of-the-art technology.
This included a world-first 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 smooth frequency response, and a tightly controlled pickup pattern. Now, the NT1 Signature Series joins the NT1 5th Generation in RODE's current NT1 range. It offers the same high-performance specs and the classic NT1 sound signature, but with the original XLR-only design of previous generations. The NT1 Signature Series reaffirms the NT1's position as the industry-standard studio condenser microphone, offering exceptional sound quality, best-in-class specifications, and legendary RODE build quality at an incredible value.
For the first time, the NT1 Signature Series is available in a range of limited-edition colors including red, green, purple, pink, and blue. This allows creators to express their unique style in both sound and color. The NT1 Signature Series continues the legacy of RODE's first microphone, the NT1, which was released in 1991. It quickly became the industry-standard studio mic for a new generation of DIY creators. The NT1 Signature Series carries on this tradition, offering improved performance and a fresh aesthetic. The NT1 Signature Series features RODE's stunning HF6 capsule, precision-engineered to sub-micron tolerances for consistent tonality and frequency response.
It's internally shock-mounted to minimize vibrations. With its rich, warm bass, detailed midrange, and sparkling top end, it's an exceptional vocal mic that excels in a wide range of studio applications. The NT1 Signature Series also offers a tight cardioid polar pattern for excellent background noise rejection, smooth frequency response, and high sensitivity for incredible balance and clarity. Enhanced circuitry delivers high SPL handling capabilities for maximum studio flexibility, and an astonishingly low self-noise of just 4dBA, making it one of the world's quietest studio condenser microphones. In addition to its signature sound, the NT1 Signature Series offers a range of vibrant colors, allowing creators to choose a microphone that matches their unique style.
Each microphone is made from premium components in RODE's precision manufacturing facilities in Sydney, Australia, and comes with a studio-grade shock mount, pop filter, and a premium XLR cable.
