## Summary description

RØDE NT1-A 5th Gen is a wired studio microphone with USB Type-C connectivity, designed for vocal and instrument recording. It offers a sensitivity of -32 dB, frequency response 20–20,000 Hz and USB 5 V power.

## Long description

The RØDE NT1 5th Generation is a large-diaphragm studio condenser microphone that combines the classic tonal character of the original NT1 with modern digital features. It offers RØDE’s patent-pending Dual Connect output (XLR and USB-C), a built-in professional-grade audio interface with high-resolution A/D conversion, on-board DSP with APHEX® processing, and a world-first 32-bit float digital output that preserves dynamics without clipping. The microphone delivers very low self-noise (4 dBA), high SPL handling and a smooth frequency response, and ships with a studio-grade shock mount, pop filter, XLR cable and USB-C cable.
Advantages
The NT1 5th Generation provides flexible connectivity for both analog and digital workflows via XLR or USB-C, enabling plug-and-play recording to a computer or integration into an existing studio. Its built-in Revolution Preamp™ and up to 192 kHz A/D conversion maintain audio fidelity while the on-board DSP offers compression, high-pass filter, noise gate and APHEX® Aural Exciter™ and Big Bottom™ for shaping tone. The 32-bit float output removes the need for exact gain staging, eliminating clipping risk and simplifying capture of very quiet or very loud sources. Precision-built HF6 capsule and rugged aluminium construction ensure consistent tonal response and long-term reliability.
Suitable for
Vocal recording and voice-over
Podcasting and streaming (USB-C plug-and-play)
Acoustic guitar, piano and other acoustic instruments
Drum overheads and percussion with high SPL
Home studios and professional studio sessions

How to use
Connect the NT1 5th Generation to a computer via the supplied USB-C cable for plug-and-play digital recording or use the XLR output to route the microphone to an audio interface or mixer for an all-analog signal path. When recording digitally, install the free RØDE Central or RØDE Connect apps to access on-board DSP presets, APHEX® processing and firmware updates. For Windows systems that require advanced control and multi-microphone USB operation, install the custom RØDE ASIO driver to enable 32-bit float recording, input gain control and buffer-size adjustment. Mount the microphone in the supplied shock mount and use the pop filter to reduce plosives; position the capsule toward the sound source and adjust distance and orientation to achieve the desired tone and level.
Usage recommendations
For best results when capturing wide dynamic range sources (for example, drums or loud acoustic performances), record using the 32-bit float digital output to avoid clipping and preserve headroom. For typical vocal and instrument tracking, use the XLR output into a quality preamp for the classic NT1 analogue character; enable APHEX® processing via RØDE software only if you require tonal enhancement, and keep gain staging conservative when using analog connections.
