## Long description

The RØDE NT1 5th Generation is a large-diaphragm studio condenser microphone that combines the classic sonic character of the original NT1 with modern digital features. It provides both XLR and USB Type-C connectivity via RØDE’s Dual Connect output, an integrated high-resolution audio interface with on-board DSP, and a 32-bit float digital output for distortion-free recording of wide dynamic ranges. The microphone retains a warm, silky timbre, extremely low self-noise, and high SPL handling suitable for vocals and a wide range of instruments.
Advantages
The NT1 5th Generation delivers exceptionally low self-noise (4 dBA), high sensitivity and a smooth frequency response for natural-sounding recordings. Its patent-pending Dual Connect output lets you use the classic analog XLR path or plug directly into a computer via USB-C for plug-and-play operation. Built-in high-resolution A/D conversion (up to 192 kHz), a dedicated high-gain preamp and on-board DSP with APHEX processing provide advanced signal shaping without additional hardware. The 32-bit float digital output prevents clipping across extreme dynamics, and the microphone ships with a studio-grade shock mount, pop filter, XLR and USB cables to start recording immediately.
Suitable for
Studio vocals and voice-over
Podcasting and streaming
Acoustic and electric guitars
Piano and keyboards

How to use
Connect the NT1 5th Generation to an audio interface or mixer via XLR for a traditional analog signal chain, or plug directly into a computer using the included USB‑C cable for digital recording and access to on-board DSP features. When recording in 32-bit float, select a compatible audio interface driver or the microphone’s ASIO driver on Windows and set your DAW to accept 32-bit float input; gain staging is flexible with this format because clipping is avoided in the digital domain. Use the RØDE Central and RØDE Connect apps to configure DSP settings such as APHEX processing, high-pass filter, noise gate and compression, and to update firmware.
Usage recommendations
The microphone is suitable for both bedroom and professional studio workflows. For best results with vocals, position the capsule 10–25 cm from the sound source and use the supplied pop filter to reduce plosives. When capturing loud sources like drums or close-miked guitar cabinets, use the XLR connection and appropriate mic placement to manage proximity effect and SPL. On Windows, install the custom ASIO driver to enable full 32-bit float operation and multi-mic USB setups.
