Sporting the same warm, silky sonic character that made the NT1 series a go-to studio workhorse for millions, the black NT1 Signature Series Studio Condenser Microphone from RODE is the latest edition of the iconic large-diaphragm mic. With an incredibly low self-noise of 4 dBA and a high SPL handling of 142 dB, the NT1 Signature Series is a versatile Swiss Army knife built to deliver a classic studio sound for a range of applications, from vocal and instrument recording to podcasting, content creation, and voice-over work.

The classic RODE HF6 1" true condenser capsule brings a smooth frequency response and high sensitivity to the table. The internal JFET impedance converter and bipolar output buffer help contribute to the low noise and clean sound. The cardioid pickup pattern helps you avoid unwanted sounds to the rear and sides, a vital feature for podcasting and content creation in untreated spaces. The finish is highly durable, resisting scuffs, scratches, and other physical blemishes that can plague well-used workhorse mics. The NT1 Signature Series includes a 20' XLR cable, an SM6 shockmount and pop filter, and a dust cover.

Behind the protective mesh grille, the mic features Rode's 1" gold-sputtered HF6 capsule, designed to provide a detailed midrange response with smooth highs and warm bass
The cardioid polar pattern focuses audio capture on the source in front of the mic, picking up less unwanted ambient sound from the back and sides
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 an extremely low noise level. The NT1 Signature Series is an incredibly quiet microphone, measuring only 4 dBA of self-noise
The mic is powered by phantom power through the XLR connector

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can I power the interface with a 48v power adapter, or does it have to be connected to a computer? I'd like to run the mic and interface by plugging into an outlet without having to have my laptop on when I want to record... I do like the idea of having Pro Tools to edit music files but I don't want my computer to always be the source of phantom power for my studio.. I have a Yamaha DGX670 that allows me to record directly to it so i just want to power everything up (except my laptop) and record

A: USB bus powered

Q: 2. Is the Pro Tools First software the same one I can download for free on their website or is this an upgraded version?

A: Hello, Pro Tools First should be the exact same anywhere you can find it.

Q: 3. Will Black Friday lower the price for the nt1 bundle

A: I just recently joined this community, so I apologize for the late response. That is different every year. I recommend signing up for B&H notifications on the item you're interested in.

Q: 4. What is the Dynamic Range of the Rode NT1 Signature Series?

A: The manufacturer has not provided a specification for the dynamic range of the RODE NT1 Signature Series Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone.

Q: 5. please how much the weight of this bundle ?

A: These items may ship separately. The packaged weight for the Auray mic stand is 5 lbs. It will most likely be sent separately because of the dimensions. For the individual packaged weight of the other items, the Rode NT1-A and shockmount weigh 3.9 lbs, the Focusrite Scarlett is 1.45 lbs, the Polsen headphones are 0.75 lbs, and the cable is 0.48 lbs. If all items (excluding the mic stand) can be shipped together in one box, the total weight of the package will be approximately 5 to 6 lbs.

Q: 6. What is the Signal to Noise Ratio?

A: The RODE NT1 Signature Series Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone's SNR is 90 dB A-Weighted.

Q: 7. Does this mic have the actual SMR shockmount included or is it the SM6?

A: The shock mount included is the SMR.

Q: 8. What dead cat will fit the M3? I have the Rode WS3 foam one already, looking for something to use outside.

A: The RODE M3 Versatile End-Address Condenser Microphone (BH # ROM3) will work with the WindTech Fur Fitted Microphone Windshield (B&H # WIMM600). The Mic-Muff on average provides up to 20db of wind-noise reduction in a 20 mph wind, while producing no negative effect on frequency response. Typically, this windshield can be fitted directly over the foam windscreen that came with your microphone or video camera, but some models may require placement over the microphone alone.

Q: 9. Is this product used

A: Its new. I was just as skeptical as you were. Your biggest fear is literally the beginners version of whatever DAW that they give you for free. And the sensitivity of the NT1 in general.

Q: 10. So the bundle comes with pro tools... how do I get access to pro tools after I've purchased the bundle?

A: An activation code will come with the audio interface. You will be directed to the Avid Protools website, where you will be able to download he software.

[Solid-State] Do you need a studio-quality Large Diaphragm Condenser microphone, and don't have a huge budget? If the answer is yes, the Rode NT1 Signature Series microphone should be on your short list of options. At $159, this mic punches way beyond its' price. You get the SM-6 Shock Mount, with integrated pop filter, a 6 meter XLR cable, and the microphone itself, along with a storage bag to store the microphone when not in use. This is a fantastic deal, provided you have an audio interface interface to connect the microphone to. The accessories alone retail for over $100 bought separately, but you get them with the package at a price point better than many microphones at the same level. The microphone sounds clear, with almost no self noise (specs say 4 dB for it), and through my RodeCaster Duo, crystal clear, with what I consider fairly minimal coloration for spoken word vocals. I have also used this microphone with a Mackie DLZ Creator, and I get the same clear vocals that I get from the RodeCaster. The only disadvantage is that you're going to need some sort of XLR-capable audio interface that can supply 48v Phantom Power to the microphone, and if you don't have one, that's going to be an additional cost. I have a RodeCaster Duo, but there are less expensive options available. The fact that this is a condenser mic, rather than a dynamic, means that the mic does not need the sort of gain that you would need with a dynamic microphone. If you already have the equipment to attach this to, at the price point, with the sound quality, accessories, and Rode's 10-year warranty, it's almost a must buy if you need a quality mic at an truly exceptional price. 5

[Phantom Power] It's seems that B&H Photo were the only ones that had the RHODE NT1 (Red) in stock, most of the music retailers were on backorder. Anyway I tired out this mic sounds great, Nice addition to my home studio. 5

[Mono] Many write reviews beginning with I am not an audiophile. Well, in a way I am an audiophile. I have created hundreds of videos for YouTube and many more hundreds of audio devotionals, along with many more hundreds of Bible studies my wife and I have done. I know what my voice sounds like, and I know which mics make it sound better and which do not. I have used many different mics. Some mics will never sound great no matter how much you try to EQ them. Others can sound great with some significant EQing. But the ideal mic sounds awesome with no EQing. And that is precisely the case with this mic. It has been called silky smooth, and that is a pretty fair assessment. There is absolutely no point for me to EQ this mic. The sound is nearly perfect on its own. Some suggest that a condenser mic like this is only of use in a perfectly treated room. Not true. As long as you keep it within about 3-5 inches from your mouth, it will probably work very well in almost any room (but don't use it in your bathroom!). To sum up, this is the mic I have been looking for, for years. My search is over. 5

[Mono] I got this mic to interview a friends pre-wedding interview in our home. I'm a novice by audio standards but I must say I was very delighted in the sound quality this mic provided. Was also glad it uses 9V battery or phantom power. 5

[Side Address] What can I say, it’s a Rode. There’s a reason why the NT-1 is one of the biggest selling microphones. The sound quality is superb. The cool colors are perfect for my daughter’s podcast. Really stands out. Great value for the money. Comes with everything you need. Great for vocals or whatever you put in in front of. Dry low self noise so you can compress it not expect noise. For the price, add one to your mic locker…you won’t be disappointed. 5

[Phantom Power] Rode delivers with the NT3, crisp clear audio with low noise. I use it for recording DSLR dialogue and the cardioid pattern means I don't have to be super critical with aiming it. I use Neutrik connectors which do lock into the NT3, just give them a push, for a secure XLR connection. I mount it into an Audio Technica AT8415 shock mount, if it slips a bit in the vertical, I wrap a rubber band around the mic shaft to offer some purchase to the shock mount bands, keeps it secure. 4 stars due to weight, 5 stars for sound. 5

[Mono] Plain and simple, this mic sounds amazing! Used it on an interview (indoors) for a short documentary film. Sounded amazing and film-like! My friend, also a pro shooter, loved it, too!! 5

Evan	21/04/2024
[Side Address] Really enjoy the sound of this mic, upgrading from a cheap dynamic mic, this one has improved the quality of my vocals (for music) by a lot. The shock mount and pop filter are well made and easily adjusted. Green color looks great in person as well! 5
