The NT1 5th Generation is a true studio workhorse that excels on everything from vocals and speech, to guitar, piano, drums and percussion – the ultimate studio microphone.

Our Iconic Original Studio Microphone, Reborn

The NT1 5th Generation is the latest evolution of the iconic NT1. First introduced in 1991, the NT1 is the world’s most popular studio microphone, renowned for its warm, classic sound and incredible versatility. The NT1 5th Generation takes the much-loved and respected core of the NT1 and introduces state-of-the-art features while preserving the legendary sound quality that made the original the go-to microphone for countless creators. A perfect marriage of tradition and innovation.

Game-changing Connectivity


Featuring RØDE’s groundbreaking, patent-pending Dual Connect output, the NT1 5th Generation can either be connected to an audio interface or mixer via XLR or directly to a computer via USB for studio-grade, plug-and-play recording. Unprecedented flexibility for any studio setup.

Classic Sound on the Cutting-edge


The NT1 5th Generation delivers the same warm, silky character, extremely low noise, and high SPL handling capability that the original is revered for, with improved circuitry for even lower self-noise – an astonishingly low 4dBA, making it the world’s quietest studio condenser microphone. When using the XLR output, it delivers the rich, classic studio condenser sound you know and love from the NT1. When using the digital output, you get this same sound plus a slew of cutting-edge features to further enhance your audio for recording pro studio sound directly into your computer.

The Digital Studio of the Future


The NT1 5th Generation features a professional-grade audio interface built into the microphone, which is perfectly optimised to preserve its pristine audio fidelity and also offers a range of highly innovative features for enhanced sound, including our ultra-low-noise, high-gain Revolution Preamp™, high-resolution (192kHz) A/D conversion and advanced digital signal processing. This is so much more than just a studio condenser microphone, it's an all-in-one digital recording solution.

The “Unclippable” Microphone


The NT1 5th Generation features a world-first 32-bit float digital output – a revolutionary recording format that allows you to record everything from a whisper to a scream, the softest guitar to the loudest drummer without having to worry about setting your gain – simply adjust your audio after recording and all the dynamics of your performance will be maintained, with zero risk of clipping or distortion. Gamechanger.

Versatility Like No Other


With its smooth frequency response, extremely low noise, high SPL handling, flexible connectivity options and powerful digital capabilities, the NT1 5th Generation offers versatility like no other studio mic. It excels in any recording application, from vocals and speech to guitars, drums to piano, and can fit into any workflow, from a solo bedroom recording setup to a professional studio.

Product Features

  • Revolutionary Dual Connect Output: Outfitted with a patent-pending connector base that houses both a traditional 3-pin XLR male connector and a high-speed digital USB-C port. This allows you to plug directly into a professional analog mixing board or go straight into a computer as a standalone USB microphone.
  • World-First 32-Bit Float Digital Output: Features a premium analog-to-digital converter capable of tracking in a 32-bit float audio format over its digital connection. This advanced processing captures the full dynamic range of the capsule, allowing you to salvage clipped audio files or boost ultra-quiet recordings in post-production without adding digital distortion.
  • Ultra-Low-Noise Revolution Preamp: Driven by Rode's proprietary, high-gain Revolution Preamplifier circuit when operating over the digital USB-C line. This ultra-high-definition, low-noise preamp maintains a staggeringly silent -117.5 dBV equivalent input noise floor for pristine signal transparency.
  • Australian-Crafted HF6 1-Inch Capsule: Centered around a premium HF6 1-inch, gold-sputtered large-diaphragm condenser capsule. It is acoustically engineered to deliver a classic vocal profile with a rich low end, smooth mid-range presence, and an airy, detailed high-frequency response.
  • Onboard High-Power APHEX DSP Engine: Incorporates a powerful internal digital signal processor accessible via Rode's desktop apps. This processing allows you to apply advanced acoustic tools—including the classic APHEX Aural Exciter, Big Bottom bass booster, a compressor, an expander, and a noise gate—directly to your digital stream.
