Rode NT1 Kit

Rode NT1 Kit

The NT1 is a revolutionary new 1″ diaphragm condenser microphone from RODE.

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.

RODE’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 RODE’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 RODE, 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 RODE to ensure an extremely hard-wearing finish that is resistant to scratches or marks.

The Rode NT1 Kit is supplied with the SM6, a high-quality suspension shock mount 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.
