Thanks for checking out the NT1 5th Generation James! Love your work.
Thank you so much!
why did you change 4th gen frequency response on your website ? 5th more brighter as i hear.
@@usoygur Because the 5th gen is basically the NT1-A rebranded, as i heard people say after many side by side comparisons.
Great review, James. The Rode NT1 5th generation mic is both USB and cable! Outstanding. I've won't regret buying my NT1 2022 generation. You're our strong guiding arm.
You're the best Mally! 😊
Awesome review! This is definitely going to be the go to mic for many people starting out now for sure.
Great review! I currently have a Shure Mv7 and I'm planning on grabbing this Rode later this year, thank you!
Awesome! Thank you!
This is so exciting! 🎉
Honestly you are one of millione ! you did talk about the lil details and even more about the voice acting thing .. I am a voice actor and i needed a mic that i can scream loudly with . so thank you ! subbed +
Thank you so much! I REALLY appreciate it! 😁
Wow that's a lot of improvements. Sometimes a product is simply amazing
Right!? 😊
Well done James, very impressive mic for the price!
This would be a great travel microphone. I have a Scarlett Solo which is light as a feather but having one less thing to worry about is a big plus. And the 32-bit float would be so useful in animation which often requires shouting.
Thank you for making this video :D
Great review!
Great video. Thanks.
Thank you so much!
Oh! Oh my!!! 😯😯 First! A great video James! Love your work as ALWAYS! Second, I wonder if this could be the new microphone I have been searching for. I do, however heed your lesson of first [fully] acoustically treating my space. Once I'm back from my travels, I will look at sorting out my space....however whilst I'm on my travels, I may make a cheeky purchase!! 😜
Ha! Awesome! Love it! 😄 I thought your space was already treated? Also, you seem to travel A LOT! Is that true? I hope you've been well my friend!
@JamesYounger Unfortunately, not fully. However, that will change. Upgrades people, upgrades!! 😆 Yep. I've been travelling a fair bit already this year, hence my output has been sadly lacking. However, I'll still be uploading content, just not as often. Keep crankin the handle James!! 👍🏾🤩
Hey James! You mention using this microphone for content creation like streaming. How would you say it compares to a shotgun mic (like the MKE 600) for the same purpose, and which would be better in not so well-treated rooms?
Great video James. Just got the NT1 5th gen. Sounds great... Hoping this will be the last Large Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Mic I get.
Thank you! Realistically you should never need another one! 😊
@@JamesYounger That's good to hear
I just got one also...not the last I buy because I need to get another one of the same!!!😁
😎
@@saxmidiman Yes I most likely will get another one too.
Hi, its been 3 months. What do you think about this mic? pros/cons? Im thinkin bout buying it for musig vocal recordings
Amazing stuff. Which audio interface and headphones do you use?
Just ordered mine 😁
Great review
Thank you so much!
Hi, James! I have a question :) Maybe it's a little stupid. Is there a difference in sound between the previous generation rode and the new one? I mean the frequency response and other characteristics such as the ratio of the noise level to the useful signal, microphone sensitivity, etc. Or is it technically correct to say that these are the same microphones? (the same device inside, the same elements, etc.) Or is the difference simply in the ability to have a higher signal bit rate, dsp and usb connectivity?
p.s. I hope my question is clear and precise in wording, cuz I'm not a native english speaker 😅😉
Cracking Review! Thanks Rode for sending this to James! So, do we know if the USB Quality, is the same as XLR Quality? Thanks!
Thank you so much! I have no idea if it's the same but to me it sounded the same. If there was a difference it wouldn't be heard by 99.9999999% of people.
@@JamesYounger Incredible if its the same! Im a VA too, and already have an NT1 (partially thx to your recommendation of course) However this would be amazing to travel with!
@@BenFox01 Awesome! I'm glad you enjoy the NT1 :) I use it daily as well. But yes absolutely, this mic would be fantastic to take with you on the road!
Dose it work well with iPad Pro? …. Thanks for the great review ❤❤
I like that you did a shotgun test! It sounded good to me. You could definitely use it for a talking head video if that’s all you had!
Thank you for good information. What do you think og the combination Garageband og Rode NT1 5th
Love the review. I assume that you from now on will recommend this instead of the previous gen NT1, but do you think people like myself should consider to switch out the previous gen NT1 with the 5th gen?
Thank you! If you already have the NT1 and love it you definitely don't need to switch to the 5th gen. However, if you want the USB, 32 bit, DSP functionality then yes. But if you don't need any of that the NT1 is the exact same as the 5th gen.
@@JamesYounger Told the truth. Thanks.
How is it compares to the Apogee Hypemic (which is more portable but also slightly more expensive)?
What micro would you recommend for untreated space environment?
Just for my house, I want to record audiobooks.
So if you use the Usb and don't need a interface where would you plug your headphones?
Huge fan of Rode.
I currently have an NT1a which I have loved since the moment I set it up. How do you think the NT1 5th Gen compares to the NT1a?
I always found the NT1a a bit brighter, but I'm curious as to your thoughts on the matter.
You nailed it! The NT1a is pretty much just brighter :) That's honestly the only notable difference
NTI black gen 4 is best. It sounds very neutral and pleasant. NT1a and NT1 gen 5 are brighter as well as boxy CMS.
How about overdubbing vocals over an instrumental (quite a standard necessity)?
Both come to my eyes and ears... sm7b and nt1 5th G, THANK YOU I CAN SAVE FOR OTHER THINGS. THE PHOTO ON THE WALL IS ICONIC 9:24 . interface please?
Are you going to use this more than the AT875R or will both be used depending on the type of voiceover job?
Honestly I've just been using the standard Rode NT1 A LOT lately. I do have some other mics I need to test for video reviews but yeah, lately I've just been using the trusty Rode NT1.
I wait for King Bee II. Imo nicer sound and better rejection.
I'm sold. Just gotta save for it.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Which would you recommend for voiceover between this and the Audio-Technica AT875R that you recently reviewed?
during my amateur test of the AT875r and NT1-A, I can say that the AT875r is a great microphone, but it sounds thin in comparison. Nt1- had more "body". AT875R was more natural sounding
Hi sir, Is it possible to connect the NT1 5th with usb-c to Android mobile phones?
how is the latency when monitoring using the usb and the pc audio out? thanks
Hi james.
You mentioned in a previous video that shotgun mics are better for voiceover work if you are just starting out and dont have a booth or sound proofed room, is that still the case or would you recommend this mic instead of a similarly priced shotgun mic?
Hey there! It's not that there necessarily "better" for voice over work, it's just that shotgun microphones tend to reject more ambient sound around you do to their tighter polar pattern, as in they only pick up what's right in front of the microphone and do a pretty good job at rejecting sounds that come from around the microphone. So technically they would be better in a room that's not quite as soundproofed as you'd like (A room that's letting in a little too much noise) however, shotgun mics are still REALLY sensitive just like large diaphragm mics are and will still pick up a lot of noise if the mic is facing said noise. How loud are the noises in your space?
@JamesYounger thanks for the reply! The outside noise isn't too bad at all, so I'm going to go with the rode nt1 and just treat the space as well as I can with blankets.
It's a walk-in closet
It’s because of our boi JY that I got into the Rode NT1. I am forever grateful. Even with no training, I managed to get audiobook gigs. I’m on my fourth one. Thanks for all you do on your channel, brother. Cheers from The Canada.✊
Thank YOU so much for the support and kind words!! 😊it really means a lot!
out of curiosity would a deskmat or big mousepad absorb the voice bouncing off the desk?
It couldn't hurt but it wouldn't make a big difference
Your honest opinion betwen nt1 5th gen and aston origin...?
Hello, upon recommendation, I bought the Rode nt1 5th generation Microphone, but there is a delay while recording. When I lower the Buffer size, I hear crackling sounds. That's why I place the vocal on the beat with my hand. Is this normal? I record in Studio One. I use it at 432. Buffer size i is also in the Asio interface of the microphone. I have a buffer, but when I change it, there is no change in the delay. I would be happy if you help me. My laptop's processor is also powerful, i5 10th generation H processor.
Hocam çok acil bir şey söyleyeceğim ben nt1a aldım 8.900 aldim . Ama yeni çıkan Rode nt1 5th çıktı fiyatı 7.300 şimdi diyecegim o ki neden yeni çıkan çıkan ucuz hangi mikrofon daha iyi lütfen net açıklarsanız çok sevinirim ?
So this 32-bit float awesomeness comes into play ONLY WHEN you're using the USB connection, right? If you connect this mic to a regular audio interface via XLR, it's just another XLR mic, yes?
Hopefully the audio interface manufacturers release updated models of their interfaces with 32-bit float preamps soon so that we can enjoy this awesomeness with any microphones!
You're correct! I'm with you! I hope more that support it will be coming out soon! As it stands the MixPre II Series is the only interfaces that support 32 bit float.
@@JamesYounger I think Zoom just came out with a 32-bit interface too.
@@MystiqWisdom Definitely going to look into that!
If my daw doesn’t support 32-bit float recording, would I be able to bypass that issue by buying an audio interface that has 32-bit float recording capabilities?
Also does having a daw that supports 32-bit float recording only apply if you’re using the mic via usb connection?
Yeah it's only when you're using it in USB and unfortunately if the DAW doesn't support 32 bit float then I think having an interface that does still wouldn't work :( I'm thinking all these DAWs will get their soon though now that the tech has got to this point.
Great review. Show us more “un-clip-able” (sp? Is that a real word???) microphones/techniques! Can I do that with a 416? MK4? I yell and whisper all the time: HELP! 😂
🤣😂 Unfortunately as it stands this mic in it's USB mode is the only mic that supports 32 bit OR you could get the MixPre II Series interface because it's the only interface that supports 32 bit currently.
What about for recording artists? Im a producer and thinking about getting a microphone and would to be better to use XLR or usb-c while recording?
This mic would be a great option for vocals because of the 32bit option found only in the USB.
@@JamesYounger 🫵✊🏽
So if you were using the XLR mode, would you need an interface with the same preamp to get the results you have here? My understanding is that it would just use the preamp from your interface which misses one of the selling points if your interface isn't the same
Yeah unfortunately there's only a few interfaces out there that support 32bit float and if you don't have one of those interfaces you won't be able to utilize the 32bit float function unless you use the Rode NT1 5th gen in its USB mode.
@@JamesYounger Thanks for the reply. I was planning on picking one up today and now I know I don't need to grab an interface with it unless it's 32 bit float compatible. I'll save the interface for if I get a shotgun mic later
But 32-bit is only available on Mac on Audition right?
Thanks a lot for the review. Appreciate it.
Unfortunately that was the case when I did the review yes :(
@@JamesYounger That's a shame. Strange how they forget there are people using Audition on a PC! Thanks for replying, and great video again. 👍
Is it better than the Rode NT USB+ ? vocal recording wise, like high notes
Yeah XLR always sounds better than USB
This against mv7, wich one for podcasts?
Both would be great but I'd say the mv7 only because it's a dynamic mic (It will reject ambient noise and an untreated space better) and is a little darker sounding which will make it easier to listen to for longer periods of time.
How would you compare 4th gen to 5th gen sound wise. Is it the same or is more like nt1-a
Rode stated that the 4th and 5th gen sound exactly the same because the guts are all the same in both mics, however other people have claimed that the 5th gen is "brighter" sounding than the 4th. IF that's true it's incredibly slight.
@JamesYounger thank you for an answer and great content 👏
I have a dumb newbie question: I just bought this mic based on your review and others. I'm brand new to VO. It has a USB-C connector at both ends of the cord. How do I plug that into my normal USB iMac sockets? Can you link me to what I need? Or someone else? Thanks!
Hey there! No worries, you just need an adapter. This one should do the trick: geni.us/ZfaCdm
@@JamesYounger awesome! Thanks! I wasn’t sure if there was a special adapter that’s better for sound equipment. I just ordered it.
Naw that should be all you need! :)@@churchhymnsandpsalms
I believe that the 32 bit is only in USB mode, not XLR?
You are correct. Currently the only interface that offers 32 bit float is the MixPre II Series
@@JamesYounger And the new Zoom UAC-232.
Nice review , thanks. I have it and I I love it.. Just noticed - you did one small but significant mistake in your presentation :-) It is not up to 20 thousand kilohertz :-)
No it's definitely 20 to 20. I even put it on screen when saying it,...
@@JamesYounger But not 20,000 kHz. 😅 It's either 20 kHz, or 20,000 Hz.
And yes, I bought it as soon as I heard about it, even that I already had the 4th Gen of NT1. This microphone is fantastic!
Bro ...also the lewitt lct 540 subzero .has the 4 dbA self noise ....
I'll have to give that a look!
@@JamesYounger yah thnx bro
God bless u
For some reason , when I'm using it with USB, the mic gets hot ! Is this normal ?
Mine doesn't do that 😬 I'd try and get a replacement from wherever you got it.
Is this better than the RØDE PodMic?
In almost every way yes, however the podmic does have 1 pro against the NT1. The podmic is a dynamic mic so it does a better job in an untreated space. So, if you haven't acoustically treated your recording space I'd go with the podmic. But if your space is acoustically treated I'd definitely go with the NT1 5th gen.
@@JamesYounger Thankyou. I will be using the mic in an untreated space, so you have made up my mind for me. I do have a semi treated space in which I use a Shure SM58 for recording, however I am getting the PODMIC just for streaming in a non treated room.
LMAOO I learned the hard way w the usb mic😭
Thats the thing about being sent free things, sure they're not paying you for it but the bias of not having purchased it yourself is there; honestly sounds the same as the 4th gen and cant justify an upgrade for anyone who already has the 4th in their setup.
Side note: my opinions are my own don't come at me with "oh its just you who cant hear it/you're not using proper headphones" 🤫 I do my own studio work thank you in advance
I literally quoted Rode in the video saying, "there's no difference between the NT1 and 5th gen when it comes to the audio" It's the exact same Guts. This is the first piece of equipment I've been given. 4 other smaller companies have reached out to me in the past, wanting me to review their microphones and completely stopped emailing me when I told them I'm always going to be 100% honest about the products I review. Now, get back to your studio work. Thank you in advance. 🤡
I would have preferred an all black version of this mic. The grey metallic part is distracting on camera. That why I won’t buy this mic 😆
Why don't to get it metallic painted.
@@HarvinderSingh-yy8th It is generally not recommended to paint the metallic grille of a microphone, as doing so can affect the acoustic properties of the microphone and potentially degrade its performance. The grille is typically designed to be acoustically transparent, which means it allows sound waves to pass through it without causing significant distortion or attenuation. If you were to paint the grille, it could change the way that sound waves interact with the surface of the microphone, leading to changes in frequency response, sensitivity, and other important performance characteristics.
In addition, painting the grille could also affect the durability and longevity of the microphone. The paint could potentially chip or flake off over time, which could interfere with the operation of the microphone or even damage it.
Maybe that’s why the 4th gen sounds different lol
Is it worth upgrading if you already have the older NT1?
No, never.
Jesus loves you all he can fill that empty spot in our life’s he did it for me and can do it for you too✝️❤️
You kept saying "20,000 kilohertz" and "48,000 kilohertz" ... 48,000 kilohertz would be a very large number, that is 48 million hertz. These mics have a frequency response up to 20 kilohertz, not 20,000 kilohertz. You need to learn what kilohertz means. A kilohertz is 1000 hz.
Thanks so much for the engagement! You're very kind!
