RODE NT-USB+

Studio-grade USB-C condenser mic with RODE's Revolution Preamp, internal APHEX DSP and zero-latency monitoring - plug-and-play on computers and phones.

4.3 / 5
Highly recommended

Strengths

  • Rich, full vocal sound with strong presence - reviewers rate it above the Blue Yeti class
  • Revolution Preamp delivers very low self-noise for a USB mic
  • On-board APHEX DSP (compressor, noise gate, exciter) processes audio without taxing the computer

Watch outs

  • No on-mic gain control or mute button - level changes happen in software
  • A cardioid condenser picks up more room noise than a dynamic podcast mic in untreated spaces
  • Costs more than most single-purpose USB mics
  • Capsule Condenser (side-address), studio-grade
  • Polar pattern Cardioid
  • Frequency response 20Hz - 20kHz
  • Resolution 24-bit / 48kHz analogue-to-digital conversion
