NT1 5th Generation Condenser Microphone with SM6 Shockmount and Pop Filter,Silver

I’m using the RØDE NT1 5th Gen primarily to record my vocals, and the sound quality is immediately noticeable. The vocals come through very clean and detailed, without sounding harsh or overly processed. It captures natural tone and nuance, which makes it great for both singing and spoken voice. I really like the flexibility of having both XLR and USB outputs. It made setup easy right out of the box, and I can switch between interfaces depending on what I’m working on. The included shock mount and pop filter are solid and do their job well, helping reduce plosives and vibrations during recording. This microphone feels truly professional and well thought out. It’s quiet, reliable, and delivers consistent results, especially for vocal recording. If you’re serious about music production, podcasting, or any kind of vocal work, this is a high-quality mic that lives up to its reputation.

The reputation of this mic's line is already legendary...and well deserved. It comes excellently packaged from the manufacturer. The external shipping packaging was designed to protect it well and minimize shock to the mic, which I really appreciate. When I ordered it, the length of time for receipt was longer than I had hoped for because I was anxious to get it, and I was concerned about that, but it did arrive two days EARLIER that promised, which I was happy to see. If it had been shipped closer to the order date, I would have been ecstatic, but the monitoring software indicated it didn't go out for days...if I hadn't been antsy, this would probably not have bothered me at all...I still received it before it was promised. So I'd be inclined to order from these folks again. The mic is absolutely impressive. Sensitive to all the right sounds without excessive noise floor. Recording quality is phenomenal...unbelievable. It is insanely easy to use with a 32-bit float supporting software through a USBc cable (provided). It also comes with an XLR cable for folks with more professional equipment. Remember to download the ASIO plug in from rode.com. It is attractive, looks like it belongs in the studio, and fits precisely into the Rode boom (a separate purchase) which is solid and strong enough to support it properly and silently in any position I'd need. The mic also comes with a dust cover so I can protect it when not in use, an added touch that those making every attempt to take care of their recording equipment value. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase Rode products from this merchant again!

I’ve been using the Rode NT1 5th Generation for a couple of weeks now and wanted to share my thoughts for anyone considering it. Firstly, I was pleasantly surprised by how sturdy and well-built this mic feels - even the SM6 shock mount and pop filter that come with it seem like they’re built to last. The setup was pretty easy, and I got it all hooked up without any fuss. I use it in my home studio, and it’s been a game changer for my recordings. The sound quality is clear and crisp, and it manages to capture the richness of vocals and instruments alike without adding any unwanted noise. That quiet operation is something I appreciate, especially considering the not-so-perfect acoustics of my space. The SM6 shock mount does a stellar job of minimizing any vibrations or accidental bumps from reaching the mic, and the pop filter is effective in reducing plosives, which gives a clean, professional sound to my recordings. For the price, the Rode NT1, with its shock mount and pop filter, feels like a solid investment, especially if you're getting into recording and want something that’s good quality without being overly complicated. Really happy with it and would definitely recommend to fellow musicians and podcasters!

I’ve been a Rode user since my film college days and I am again impressed with how good their products are. I recently started getting into music and I needed something that isn’t going to break my bank but has good quality. I landed on this after doing some research and I am super happy I did! Love the quality of the sound I get and the versatility of the dual connectors. USB-C has been a life saver if you just want to record something quick even on your iPhone. XLR is always just better and get that “raw” recording with more information and quality, but I love having both options especially if you travel! The design of the mic is also sleek and clean! One thing I do wish I knew, or maybe because I skipped reading any of the manuals that come with it, is that the microphone records sound only from one side (you facing the gold dot side) For some reason, and I wasn’t the only one, I thought that having the Rode logo facing me was the way, or I just thought it didn’t matter lol. Oh boy it did. I kept hearing my cat in the other room instead of myself, until I went online to look up what environment of the house sounds best for recording and one video said made sure your mic is turned the right way first :-D After I got that figured out, I love everything about this mic!

It sounds amazing and honestly very studio grade even with the USB connector. But you need to Go to settings and turn off the Effects added automatically by the system, it completely removes the high end. kind of heavy, but not really.

Really good for the cost. I have no regrets. Even the shock mount feels sturdy. Recording is crisp with low latency even when using a poor quality USB cable (for the sake of testing). Also heavier than I expected but I don't mind.

日本語のレビューがないのでマイクに無知だが使用した感想を書く。環境としてはMacBook ProにForcussrite ScarlettシリーズのオーディオインターフェースをつけてXLRケーブルで接続している。この場合YouTubeのレビュワーによれば第四世代と変わらないパフォーマンスらしい。 用途は宅録と配信でいまのところ困っていない。ゲイン調整は必要だが音質はいいのではないだろうか。ちなみにUSB接続して32bitに設定を変えると飛行機レベルの騒音でないかぎり音割れしないそうだ。他のサイトでMacのAudio MIDI設定から仮想オーディオインターフェースをつくればUSB接続でもモニターできると書いてあったので試してみたがいまいち上手くいかなかった。 専用のショックマウントにポップガードが同梱しているが、マイクと合わせて総重量が1kgを超えるので安いマイクアームでは支えられない。 画像はElgato Wave Mic Arm LPに繋げたものである。あまりにも大きい。普段はモニターの裏に収納しているので目障りにはならないもののこの大きさは覚悟しなければならない。若干このアームでさえ垂れ下がってくる。 しかしRodeの製品でこの低い位置のものがなかったので、いまは個人的な最適解だと考えている。

It’s a very good quality Mike, which isolates the unwarranted voices. But to use it you should have mac otherwise its like impossible to use in windows laptop.

Very good microphone… sounds very clear

ممتاز

Nice it came with everything as it shown works well happy for purchase
