RODE NT1 Signature Series Red, large-diaphragm studio condenser microphone,

NT1 Signature Series Red

The NT1 Signature Series Red is a large-diaphragm studio condenser microphone with a warm, silky character, exceptionally low noise, and high SPL. It is ideal for a wide range of studio applications, suitable for recording spoken word, vocals, instruments, instrument groups, and full orchestras.

NT1 Signature Series Microphone Features

The NT1 was the first studio microphone that the Australian company RDE began manufacturing 30 years ago. It has earned a permanent place from professional studios to home studios, dubbing studios, and all sound workplaces because of its exceptional quality and clear color.

In line with RDE's color program, the NT1 Signature Series - the latest model of the legendary microphone - is available in six color variants. So you can have your signal and listening paths color-coded and have absolute visibility during live broadcast, sound reinforcement, and studio work.

Top-Quality Microphone Capsule

The NT1 Signature Series microphone is fitted with a 1 HF6 condenser capsule and boasts the same iconic sound that its predecessors boasted. Its clean clear highs, precise detailed midrange, and rich and tight bass allow it to shine in almost any recording situation you can imagine - from capturing vocals, piano, and acoustic guitar to drums, percussion, and electric guitar. It also does a great job recruiting ensembles - from instrumental groups, sections, choirs to chamber and large orchestras.

A Versatile, Tireless Worker

The microphone excels virtually anywhere you use it. With exceptionally low noise and incredibly high maximum SPL, it picks up everything from whispers to drums - all with the utmost clarity. The NT1 Signature Series is the ultimate all-purpose studio microphone.

Perfect Mechanical Design

The robust but lightweight microphone body made of aluminum ensures high resistance to mechanical influences. At the same time, it protects the microphone's electronics. The surface finish is characterized by high durability and resistance to scratches and mechanical damage. All this more than promises a long service life.

Once the microphone is registered with the manufacturer, it comes with an incredible 10-year warranty.
