What this microphone is

The RODE NT1 Signature Series is a large-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone built for music production, vocal recording, streaming and podcasting. It ships new in a blue finish with a studio-grade shock mount, pop filter and a 20' XLR cable included. The HF6 1-inch true condenser capsule delivers a smooth frequency response and high sensitivity for classic studio sound.

Limits of the XLR interface

The microphone connects through a standard XLR output, so it requires an audio interface or mixer with phantom power to operate. No USB connection or onboard gain control is present, meaning level adjustments must be made at the preamp. Cable length is fixed at the supplied 20' XLR lead.

The spec that decides fit

Self-noise measures 4 dBA, making it the quietest studio condenser microphone available. If your recordings demand the lowest possible noise floor for delicate sources, this figure confirms suitability. Buyers who need a lower self-noise figure cannot be accommodated by any alternative specification in this product.

Questions about this item

Which version of the NT1 Signature Series should I choose?

This product is the blue finish of the NT1 Signature Series large-diaphragm condenser microphone; it includes the HF6 capsule, shock mount, pop filter, 20 ft XLR cable and dust cover in a single package.

What does the 4 dBA self-noise mean for my recordings?

At 4 dBA the microphone adds virtually no hiss, so even very quiet sources such as whispered vocals or acoustic instruments stay clean without needing heavy noise reduction in post.

What does the XLR connection require to work?

The microphone uses a standard three-pin XLR output and must be connected to an interface or mixer that provides phantom power; the included 20 ft cable plugs straight into that device.
