Description
The NT1 Kit Cardioid Condenser Microphone from RØDE is a large-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone that features RØDE’s HF6 1″ capsule. The HF6 is designed to provide a detailed midrange response with smooth highs and warm bass, making this microphone an absolute standout in its class. The capsule itself is seated in a Rycote Lyre internal shock mount to help reduce vibration and handling noises.
The microphone’s electronics were designed from the ground-up for quiet performance, and allow the NT1 to have a low, 4.5dB of self-noise. The body of the mic is machined from 6061 aluminum and then nickel plated for resistance against corrosion. The final step is getting coated in a durable, military-grade ceramic layer that is electrostatically applied for a scratch-resistant finish.
The NT1 Microphone is supplied with the revolutionary new RØDE SMR Shock Mount which features a unique double-lyre suspension system, the SMR enhances the existing superior vibration cancellation of Rycote’s Lyre system by using a smaller inner Lyre to act as a tensioning element. This maintains each Lyre in the neutral position where it is most efficient at canceling vibration. The SMR’s removable all-metal pop filter is as effective as it is visually striking, providing an integrated solution for plosive protection that is easily washable and designed to last as long as the shock mount and microphone.
