The first version of the Rode NT1 was released over 30 years ago. The popular model has been sold over 6 million times. With the 5th generation a few nice things have been added. A new type of plug has been introduced. It gives you the option of using XLR but also USB-C in the same spot. Really handy if you wanna connect digitally or analog.
They also say that the microphone is “unclippable”
The NT1 5th Generation features a world-first 32-bit float digital output – a revolutionary recording format that allows you to record everything from a whisper to a scream, the softest guitar to the loudest drummer without having to worry about setting your gain – simply adjust your audio after recording and all the dynamics of your performance will be maintained, with zero risk of clipping or distortion. Gamechanger.
