RØDE Releases New Edition of Iconic NT1 Condenser Mic

November 28, 2023

The NT1 Signature Series, the latest edition of RØDE’s iconic original studio condenser microphone. With over 6 million units sold in its 30-year history, the NT1 is the world’s most popular studio microphone. The NT1 Signature Series arrives hot on the heels of the NT1 5th Generation, which fused the classic sound signature of the NT1 with cutting-edge technology, such as its world-first Dual-Connect output for both XLR and USB connectivity, a 32-bit float digital output, and on-board DSP. With the 5th Generation, the analog circuitry of the NT1 was also upgraded to deliver lower noise (4 dBA!), higher SPL handling, an extremely smooth frequency response and a tightly controlled pickup pattern.

Now the NT1 Signature Series joins the NT1 5th Generation in RØDE’s current NT1 range, offering these same high-performance specs and the classic NT1 sound signature, with the original XLR-only design of previous generations. Offering exceptional sound quality, best-in-class specs, legendary RØDE build quality and incredible affordability, the NT1 Signature Series affirms the NT1 as the industry-standard studio condenser mic. For the first time ever, the NT1 Signature Series also offers the NT1 in a range of limited-edition colors including red, green, purple, pink and blue.

SIGNATURE SOUND… SIGNATURE STYLE

First released in 1991, the NT1 was RØDE’s first microphone and quickly became the industry-standard studio mic for a new generation of DIY creators. Since then, the NT1 has gone through multiple transformations, including the legendary NT1-A, the best-selling fourth generation black NT1, and most recently, the ground-breaking NT1 5th Generation. The NT1 Signature Series carries on the legacy of this iconic microphone, delivering the same quality and affordability that creators have come to expect from an NT1, with improved performance and a fresh aesthetic.

In addition to black, the NT1 Signature Series comes in a range of vibrant colors, including red, green, purple, pink and blue. This is the first time the NT1 has been available in colors other than the classic black or silver, allowing creators to pick the perfect mic to match their signature style. This colored range will be available in limited quantities exclusively from RØDE.  The NT1 Signature Series is made from premium components in RØDE’s precision manufacturing facilities in Sydney, Australia, and is backed by RØDE’s industry-leading 10-year warranty. Each microphone also comes with a studio-grade shock mount and pop filter and a premium XLR cable.
