From the manufacturer

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

Although the body of the new NT1 closely resembles the NT1-A, the microphone has been completely redesigned from the ground up, with the only shared component being the mesh grille.

RØDE’s design engineers approached the NT1 as a marriage of innovation and tradition, starting with the capsule which is a completely new design. Codenamed the HF6, it is the perfect example of RØDE’s fusion of artistic design approaches and cutting-edge manufacturing techniques, and features a sound signature reminiscent of the famous microphones of old while at the same time exhibiting extremely low noise.

It has been developed with a focus on detailed midrange response, coupled with silky smooth high frequencies, and warm, round, bass reproduction to make the NT1 an absolute standout in its class.

In another world-first for RØDE, the transducer itself is suspended inside the microphone using Rycote’s industry-leading Lyre system, minimizing external vibrations at the capsule level. The capsule is then married to high-grade electronics that have been designed to provide the lowest noise level of any studio microphone available. The NT1 is an incredibly quiet microphone, measuring only 4.5dBA of self-noise.

Its body is machined from 6061 aluminium and then nickel plated for resistance against corrosion. Finally it is coated in a durable, military-grade ceramic layer, using advanced electrostatic application techniques developed by RØDE to ensure an extremely hard wearing finish that is resistant to scratches or marks.

The NT1 is supplied with the SM6, a high-quality suspension shockmount that provides isolation from external physical factors that may cause unwanted rumble and vibrations in the microphone. It includes a removable pop shield with two axes of adjustment and a telescopic arm for ultimate application versatility.

The NT1 is designed and made in Australia.

This is my third condenser microphone. I started with a dynamic Shure mic and transitioned into an AKG. The AKG took me places… I was able to record 30+ full songs. With a bit of filtering was able to mix and master songs to a place where the vocals sounded good enough to blast through car speakers or more intimately headphones. Fast forward to what I thought was an upgrade… a Donner. I couldn’t for the life of me get my mixes to capture half of the color the AKG did. Too many YouTube videos later… NT1. It walks circles around the AKG, and needs almost no correction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rode NT1
Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2019
Worth every penny. Amazing quality and clarity regardless of closed or open back headphones, great directly out of the box in general, pop filter it comes with has to be one of the best I've used. Plooms tank at least by 50-60% and at a perfect distance to from the mic to really make it of value more over. Though I have two major gripes, one being the shock mount is more or less a cup holder than it is a mount let alone shock resistant. It just sits in a hole and has the easiest time taking any vibration or anything. And the pop filter doesn't have the ability to be mounted to anything but that shock mount... Frankly too the shock mount just is solid plastic and looks "over production design" and not very practical. Especially coming from someone who uses boom arms and clamp stands, the mobility and angles the shock mount has are zero. Front and center or not at all. I like to speak into my mics at an angle to really avoid plooms, so it hits hard for me. Regardlessly, great pop filter, great mic. Bad mount. Definitely buy a real shock mount like I did. Works better.
