The NT1 is a revolutionary new 1-inch diaphragm condenser microphone from RØDE.

Although the NT1 looks similar to the NT1-A, it has been completely redesigned, and the mesh grille is the only thing they have in common.

RØDE's engineers approached the NT1 with both innovation and tradition in mind. The capsule is a completely new design. Code-named HF6, it is a prime example of RØDE's craftsmanship and latest manufacturing technology. The NT1's sonic signature recalls famous classic microphones, but its self-noise is extremely low.

The microphone was developed with a focus on the midrange, combined with silky-smooth highs and warm, rounded bass reproduction, making the NT1 a leader in its class.

For the first time in RØDE's history, the transducer is suspended inside the microphone using the Rycote Lyre system, which reduces external vibration at capsule level. This is combined with high-end electronics to give the quietest self-noise of any studio microphone – just 4.5 dBA.

The body is made from 6061 aluminium, nickel-plated to protect the microphone from corrosion. On top of this is an electrostatically applied military-grade ceramic finish that is extremely durable and scratch-resistant.

The NT1 comes with RØDE's new SMR shock mount. With its unique dual-Lyre system, the SMR improves on existing Rycote Lyre anti-vibration systems by using an inner Lyre layer as a tensioning element. This keeps each Lyre layer in a neutral position where it works best against vibration. The SMR's removable pop filter is an effective and good-looking way to reduce plosives. The filter is easy to wash and lasts as long as the microphone or its mounts.
