NT-USB Versatile Studio-quality Condenser USB Microphone with Pop Filter and Tripod for Streaming, Gaming, Podcasting, Music Production, Vocal and Instrument Recording

After a lot of research and watching of reviews, I settled on the Rode Nt-usb. For my needs it doesn’t fit perfectly, but I believe it could outshine the competition with few drawbacks. It’s plug and play with no need for software. The knobs on the side control the volume of the headphones and the fade in/out between the mic and the source. Unfortunately no mute and no knob for the gain but the mic has an automatic internal gain which seems to work quite well and you can download a program called MicMute and set a shortcut to act as mute toggle(I have mine set to a button on my mouse). I have had someone tell me that my voice went from acceptable to extremely loud all of a sudden, but that was a once off and could have been a software conflict with an audio program. The mic itself looks great with the included metal pop filter and fit together quite snuggly. Pop filter can pick up dings if you’re not careful. The mic has a quality, solid, heavy metal feel to it. The stand is a nice addition and handy if you don’t have a better alternative. I purchased the Racksoy arm from Amazon for about £10 and it holds the weight very well, only time will tell but it was a much cheaper alternative to the Rode arm. The included cable is 6 metres more than I would ever need but great to see that companies aren’t cheaping out. From watching other reviews I have found that the mic will fit the Rode Sm6 shockmount. You will lose access to the controls and the included pop filter but the sm6 comes with another pop filter. Left to do its thing the mic could pick up cars and birds chirping outside my house so it is quite sensitive and would definitely benefit from a reasonably quite environment. The headphone jack on the mic with headphones attached is quite wobbly but it doesn’t affect the audio in any way. There is an internal light to let you know the mic is on and it’s just bright enough to let you know, it’s not full beams on a car like other brands. Overall I’d have to give this microphone 5 stars. You can feel the quality and most importantly, hear it. Pros: Great sound Looks fantastic Included pop filter, stand, carry case and 6m cable 2 year extended warranty Cons: No mute(fixed with software) No gain control on mic(fixed with software) No list of compatible shockmounts available from Rode

I needed a good mic for my voice overs and podcasts, I had been choosing between Blue-Yeti and Rode-NT. Rode's mic has a pop-filter in the box which is a big plus for me, because although I could order a delivery for Blue-Yeti to my country, but no pop-filter seller gave me that option so I would had to buy a pop-filter locally somewhere. The main problem for me was that Rode-NT is more expensive, it didn't fit into my budget, but then I decided to wait for awhile and just in a few days Amazon put it on 30 pounds sale and that was the perfect time for my purchase. I've used [...] to watch over the price on the mic and it sent me an email when the price dropped, very helpful.The delivery was outstanding, it was rocket-speed! In less than a week I got the package right to my house, thanks to UPS so very much, they are the best! Now that I have used the mic, I can say that the only weak point about it is the tripod - it feels fragile and it's very low, I have to move my head down to be close to the mic or place it on some additional stand, Blue-Yeti has a much better one. Seems like Rode didn't give that tripod enough love, maybe because they think everyone should be using a professional mic stand or a boom arm. Also, a mute button on the mic would have been a very useful feature, Blue-Yeti has it. Other than that, the mic is great, my voice sounds incredibly better compared to my cheap mic I used before, also from all of the comparisons I've seen on youtube, NT-USB does sound a bit better than Blue-Yeti. When I was watching review videos on youtube about these mics, very often I heard warnings that because these are condenser mics they record all of the background noise, so I was a bit nervous if the quality would be OK in my room where I have absolutely nothing for sound-proofing, also my PC is quite loud. If you are concerned about that too, I can tell you clearly that my previous cheap microphone although it was Dynamic not Condenser, it had enormously bigger amount of noise. Yes, you have to be quite in your room, you have to close the windows and preferably you have to be home alone for your recordings, but you would do that even with a dynamic mic too. Set your Rode NT-USB on about 20% level in the system settings and it's ready to go. Ok, I hope these tips will be useful for you guys, good luck to you and happy recordings! Thank you Amazon, UPS and Rode! Much Love! <3 <3 <3

As you would expect from Rode, the product is well made and of robust construction. It looks and feels high quality. The mic is perfect for home recording, easy to set up on Mac, and I'm sure the same is will be true with PC platforms. It's a good all round solution for those wishing to make home recordings of instruments, vocals and more, and is perfect for online video conferencing, giving good audio quality. The long cable allows the mic to be set up placed in the room to give optimum sound quality. I've used it for live recording of acoustic and electric guitars, and vocals. Results have been very impressive (quality of my playing excepted!!). My only slight quibble is that, although the stand is very sturdy, it would be better if it fold flat legs to make it easy to transport. Other than that, a good buy for the money!

Je recommande ce produit, très bon son et idéal pour des études en journalisme

Top kwaliteit stem + materiaal.

Ich nutze das RØDE NT-USB Mikrofon bereits seit 2022 regelmäßig und bin bis heute sehr zufrieden. Es kommt bei mir für Sprachaufnahmen, Online-Meetings und zum Vertonen selbst geschnittener Videos zum Einsatz. Die Klangqualität ist klar, natürlich und frei von störendem Rauschen. Auch nach dieser langen Nutzung hat sich daran nichts geändert. Die Einrichtung ist unkompliziert: per USB anschließen, und das Mikrofon ist sofort einsatzbereit. Der integrierte Popfilter funktioniert zuverlässig und reduziert Zischlaute deutlich. Das mitgelieferte Tischstativ ist stabil, und ansonsten lässt sich das Mikro auch schnell an anderen Halterungen montieren. Das Metallgehäuse ist robust und zeigt nach über zwei Jahren kaum Gebrauchsspuren. Besonders praktisch ist die Kopfhörerbuchse mit Lautstärkeregler, mit der man Aufnahmen in Echtzeit kontrollieren kann. Fazit: Ein langlebiges, hochwertig verarbeitetes Mikrofon mit sehr gutem Klang und vielseitiger Einsatzmöglichkeit. Auch nach längerer Zeit im Gebrauch bleibt es absolut zuverlässig.

La calidad de sonido es muy profesional, lo mejor que he escuchado nunca en micrófonos USB (mejor que un Blue Yeti, por ejemplo). Se enchufa por USB y listo, ideal para los que necesitamos viajar y tener una calidad excepcional donde sea. Dejo una prueba de sonido cortita, sin editar en absoluto, para que apreciéis el potencial de este micrófono: [...]

Rode es garantía de buen sonido, el costo del micrófono no es "barato" pero vale cada centavo de lo que estás pagando. Si bien el stand no es de aluminio, se siente sólido, pero el micrófono es otra cosa, tiene solidez, peso, materiales de primera calidad, potencia, definición y muy buen alcance, no necesitas pegarte más allá de 15 cm para captar con excelente potencia y claridad. Además si a eso le sumas su app de Rode para configuración y le metes postproducción al OBS con Izotope 9, tendrás algo bastante profesional y decente. 10 de 10 para el tio Rode!
