A classic mic with an integrated interface

Rode NT1 5th Generation Silver large-diaphragm studio microphone, front view

The Rode NT1 5th Generation Silver is a large-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone that takes the classic sound signature of the iconic NT1 and adds an integrated audio interface. The mic's polar pattern means that it primarily picks up sound coming from in front, and with a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz, it covers the normal range of human hearing with no loss of relevant signal information. The NT1 5th Generation can also handle a sound pressure level (SPL) of up to 142dB, making it ideal for powerful voices and loud vocals. Extremely quiet signals are also no problem, however, thanks to the NT1 5th Generation's high-gain preamp, and the mic can be supplied either by 48V phantom power or 5V USB power.

Flawless studio quality

At the heart of the Rode NT1 5th Generation Silver is a 1" gold-sputtered condenser capsule, which places this model firmly among the large-diaphragm microphones. Accordingly, both its sensitivity (at 25mV/Pa) and self-noise level (at just 4dBA) match up perfectly to the values achieved by the manufacturer's other condenser microphones. Its integrated audio interface converts analogue audio signals with a sampling frequency of up to 192kHz, while its A/D conversion with a 32-bit float digital output ensures a studio-quality digital audio signal while making clipping virtually impossible. The NT1 5th Generation can be used as both an analogue and a digital microphone thanks to the dual connection output at its base, which comprises a three-pole XLR3 connection for analogue signals and a USB-C connection for digital signals.

An all-rounder for beginners and advanced users

The Rode NT1 5th Generation Silver is not only eminently suited to recording speech and vocals: Its high maximum SPL also means that this model can also be used to record a wide range of different instruments, making it a good choice for users looking for a complete package that includes an all-round microphone. More advanced users can add the NT1 5th Generation Silver as an upgrade to their existing setup, while the scope of delivery gives those just starting out everything they need: In addition to the microphone, a suitable shock mount with an integrated pop filter for suppressing unwanted plosive sounds, a 6m XLR cable, and a 3m USB-C cable are also included.

About Rode

Founded in Sydney, Australia in 1990, Rode is a specialist in high-quality studio microphones. With its very first in-house, completely Australian-built model, the NT2 large-diaphragm microphone, the company created a classic which is still produced in its current and enhanced version, the NT2-A. An extensive range of studio and live microphones has also been added, regularly updated, and expanded over the years. These new additions include a variety of professional microphones which are designed for video and mobile applications and can be connected directly to SLR cameras or smartphones.

From vocals to podcasts to percussion

When used for vocal recordings, the Rode NT1 5th Generation Silver will capably handle everything from soft, quiet passages through to full-on Rock and Metal vocals with professional-level sound quality. Podcasters in turn can rely on this mic to capture all of the dynamics and nuances of their own speech and that of their guests, and even percussion instruments such as cajons or even melodic instruments such as guitars and pianos are no problem for the NT1. Whichever of these applications may be the order of the day, users are sure to appreciate the microphone's integrated DSP, which includes a high-pass filter and noise gate to eliminate low-end rumble and unwanted noises. What is more, the DSP also includes a compressor and the legendary APHEX Aural Exciter to allow the signal to be directly enhanced.

Great Quality

Really enjoying the sound quality of this. It's picking up my whispering chants and my cat's purring well, bird song and my singing voice. I wonder if the black mic shows up less finger prints.....

32-bit float ist der heiße Scheiß
Dieses Feld muß ausgefüllt sein. 01.03.2023
Nun habe ich das NT1-5th Mic seit ein paar Tagen. Mit 32-bit Float aufnehmen ist cool. Gerade besonders sehr leise Sachen gehen richtig gut und weitestgehend rauschfrei (getestet Audacity und Reaper unter Linux Ubuntustudio & Mac Ventura). Jeweils einfach via USB einstöpseln, als Quelle auswählen und los geht's. Plug and Play auch unter Linux, wer hätte das gedacht.

Nach der Aufnahme empfiehlt sich dringend eine Normalisierung damit man damit vernünftig weiter arbeiten kann.

Das Monitoring dermaßen großer Dynamikumfänge ist auch ein wenig tricky und man sollte da in der Abhörkette ein paar Maßnahmen ergreifen. Bei leisen akustischen Pegeln muß man ja sehr deutlich verstärken und ein Limiter im Monitorweg ist quasi Pflicht um vor Überraschungen in Form von extremem Clipping sicher zu sein. Das gibt sicher lecker Rechteckwellen die für Lautsprecher schnell mal die finale Schallwandlung sein können. Reaper hat ja zum Glück noch Automuting für sowas.

Meine Sorge war die Latenz. Die Latenz via USB-C ist jedoch nicht wirklich relevant. Ich hatte Gitarre via Pickup & NT1 aufgenommen, 70 Samples Abweichung bei 96 khz gezählt. Der Mikrofonabstand war 20 cm. Die 70 Samples Verzögerung mit dem NT1-5th entsprechen ca. 25 cm. Das ergibt für die 5 cm Differenz eine Latenz von ca. 0.15 ms wenn mich nicht verrechnet oder vermessen habe.

Akustik Gitarre klingt ganz nett, aber jetzt nicht so daß es keine Alternativen gäbe. Ich habe noch ein 10 Jahre altes NT1000 das klingt runder, wärmer, voller im direkten Vergleich. Das NT1 ist da analytischer, lässt sich aber gut mixen und vielleicht klingt das in 10 Jahren auch so?

Werde da noch ein paar superleise gespielte Sachen probieren, denn das macht so richtig Spaß mit dem Mikro :). Das ist nur etwas delikat mit raschelnder Kleidung und Atmen etc...

Singen klappt gerade nicht so. Husten geht aber super ohne clipping ;-). Anderes Lautes habe ich noch nicht testen können.

Schick wäre die Möglichkeit zur 32-bit float Aufnahme mit einem Mobile Device. Mit meinem Android 13 Tablet funzt das mit 24-bit 48khz zwar direkt sofort, aber ich konnte bisher keine App die mit 32-bit float aufnimmt finden. Mit Android 12 auf Note 10plus geht es gar nicht. Die Rode Central Android App kennt das NT1-5th noch nicht. Vielleicht wird das ein Update in Zukunft richten.

Das erste Firmwareupdate für das Mikrofon ist auch da. Allerdings finde ich die Rode apps haben noch Luft nach oben. Dafür einen Stern Abzug in den Features.

Alles in Allem finde ich das Mikro ganz gut und bin ab sofort Fan von 32-bit float recording. Man muß allerdings für die 32-bit float Nutzung etwas mehr Nacharbeit aufwenden. Dafür ist es fast unmöglich eine Aufnahme durch falsch eingestelltes Gain zu versauen. Gerade wenn man sich selbst aufnimmt und gerade keinen Finger frei hat für den Gainknopp ist das viel wert.

Wunder darf man aber auch hier nicht erwarten. Die Mikrofonkapsel hat physikalische Grenzen, die weit unter der möglichen Dynamik von 32-bit float liegen.
