Sound Quality
At the heart of the NT1 Signature Series is RODE’s renowned HF6 1" gold-sputtered condenser capsule, delivering a smooth and natural frequency response with a detailed midrange, gentle top end, and rich low-frequency warmth. This combination captures the classic studio sound that professionals have relied on for decades.
The microphone’s cardioid polar pattern helps isolate the main sound source while minimizing room reflections and background noise — perfect for untreated recording environments or podcast studios.
Low Noise & High Performance
Engineered with precision internal electronics, the NT1 Signature Series achieves an exceptionally low self-noise of only 4 dBA, making it one of the quietest studio microphones available. It can handle sound pressure levels up to 142 dB, enabling distortion-free recording of even the loudest instruments like drums or amplifiers.
Design & Build
The NT1’s capsule is internally shock-mounted using Rycote’s industry-leading Lyre suspension system, effectively isolating it from external vibrations. The microphone body features a robust, scratch-resistant finish that withstands long-term studio use while maintaining a clean, professional appearance.
Powered via standard 48V phantom power through its XLR connector, the NT1 Signature Series integrates seamlessly into any professional recording chain.
Shockmount & Accessories
Included with the microphone is the RODE SM6 studio-grade suspension shockmount, designed to eliminate physical noise and handling vibrations. The detachable pop shield offers two axes of adjustment and a telescopic arm for optimal positioning during vocal recording. Also supplied are a 20-foot XLR cable and a protective dust cover for convenient storage.
