An NT1 with XLR & USB for Recording, Podcasting & Streaming
Featuring both an analog XLR connector and a digital USB-C connector, the black Rode NT1 5th Generation represents another major leap forward for this highly regarded large-diaphragm workhorse microphone. The dual connection options offer a new level of flexibility, allowing users without an audio interface to plug directly into the computer for recording, podcasting, and streaming duties courtesy of the onboard 32-bit floating point A to D converter. Of course, if you have an audio interface, podcasting station, or favorite microphone preamp, no problem—just connect the mic's XLR output to your analog equipment and you're good to go. Combining a true-condenser capsule, ultralow-noise circuitry, and an extremely durable housing, the Rode NT1 5th Generation large-diaphragm cardioid microphone is well suited for high-resolution digital recording of vocal and instrument sources at home, in the studio, or even on stage.

Internally Shockmounted HF6 Cardioid Condenser Capsule
  • 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 souce 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 5th Gen is an incredibly quiet microphone, measuring only 4 dBA of self-noise.
  • The mic is powered by phantom power through the XLR connector or by bus power through the USB-C port.

Revolution Preamp & 32-Bit Floating Point Converters

  • Rode has equipped the digital side of the NT1 5th Gen with some innovative features to ensure you get outstanding audio quality from the USB connection, beginning with the built-in Revolution preamp, which provides plenty of ultralow-noise gain to feed the analog to digital converter.
  • With its 32-bit floating point A to D converter, you'll never need to worry about clipping again. The converter supplies such a high headroom and wide dynamic range that it's virtually impossible to overload, allowing you to worry less about maintaining perfect recording levels and focus more on your creative work.
  • Sampling rates up to 192 kHz are supported.

Control Your Audio and Customize Your Sound

  • Rode's included software allows you to customize the NT1 5th Gen's sound signature to suit your voice with advanced APHEX processing, including the legendary Aural Exciter and Big Bottom.
  • Remove background noise and make your audio sound smooth, detailed, and punchy with a compressor, noise gate, and high-pass filter.
  • Fine-tune to perfection with granular control over every processor, just like professional audio mixing software.
  • All audio processing is managed by the powerful DSP chip inside the microphone, which takes a load off your CPU.
  • The software makes it easy to connect and mix multiple USB microphones and sources at the same time, allowing you to podcast and stream without a dedicated audio interface.

Bundled Accessories

  • The NT1 5th Generation 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 mic also comes with a balanced XLR microphone cable and a USB-C to USB-C cable.

It's Working
Scent: Smoky coffee, Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I like how it softens and protect hair. I am using sparingly on my scalp and have not used enough to see hair growth yet. I have had it for a month but do not use daily. I am growing my grey hair out and I have noticed that some of the white hairs are more salt and pepper now so it naturally darkens hair. My friend who told me about the product has been using it longer and her grey hairs are pretty much unnoticed by the natural darkening effect, blending enough to give her a light brown look. I have extremely fine thin fragile hair so I leave it on instead of rinsing or washing it out per instructions, that is another reason I do not use daily on hair and scalp. So far I have not had any negative side effects by using sparingly and leaving in until weekly wash. There is a strong smokey smell but not overwhelming for me and the scent dicipates within an hour or less.so I am not bothered by it. After using product on my hair, I rub a little on my nails & cuticles. It appears to help, as my cuticles are a lot healthier now.

Ash vs. Moisture/Success?
Scent: Smoky coffee, Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The product feels great on the skin and moisturizes well. Although, don't be fooled by the smokey coffee detail. I'm an avid expresso bean grinder and drinker, this is no coffee. Smells like strong chain smokers favorite corner of the house on a stressful day. Imagine ash trays and Jojoba blended. Now that that's explained, it genuinely feels great on the skin/beard/scalp. Unfortunately, I am unsure how long my wife will tolerate this as a nighttime routine.

Scent: Smoky coffee, Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Love this product. May not be compatible for someone who doesn't like smell of coffee that does not detract from the product. it's really good for hair.

So far nothing amazing
Scent: Smoky coffee, Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
So I’ve been using for a couple of weeks now and I haven’t noticed any difference. I am going to continue on. I don’t know if it takes time for it to actually show some results. I will say two things about it. It comes solid for 12 my jar cracked and broken And it’s non-returnable so I just have to deal with it so that’s unfortunate after paying $20 second of all it is a solid mass so you have to put it in your hands and kind of warm it up for it to become any sort of an oil and I wouldn’t even consider it an oil at that it’s more of like a cream once you warm it up in your hands, but it doesn’t make your hair greasy. I use a small amount I would think that the jar would last a long time given that you don’t need a lot to get through to your scalp unfortunately, with my jar being cracked, I don’t know how that’s gonna affect the longevity of the product And it does have a smell think of burnt coffee beans that will dissipate after about an hour to an hour and a half after putting it on, but if you’re not putting it on, I’m just going to bed. It might be become an issue. I’m gonna wait it out. I hope I do see results from doing this but again so far nothing.

Wonderful product
Scent: Smoky coffee, Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I used this on a bald spot I had and it worked extremely well. Consistency is key though it needs to be used every day
