    I feel the Signature series sound smoother, fuller, and warmer.

    Great content! I feel like the signature series hasn’t gotten the usual love other flagship mics get. Sounds great to me and makes me think about value propositions of other mics.

    Hey according to you both mic sounds similar? Since I don't want the USB, I can go for signature series.

    Thanks. I’ve been wondering if there’s much series difference:)) in the Nt1 series:).

    Hi …if the signature series is without the usb do you need to get the AI-1 audio interface that you use with the 4th Generation NT1..? 🤔🦋

    Thanks for the info. I was all set to buy the 5th Generation. Since I have an interface paying the extra $$$ would've been a waste. Thanks again! I owe you a pint!😎

    Hi, I am disappointed to find out, that not a single Rode software supports the main selling point being the 32 bit float recording!

    I love design of sm7b , also sm7db is black and its brilliatn dark color! but! in my country sm7b costs for 500-600$ and sm7db for 700$ - in russia. And with sound quality i think n51 signature is great, i bought it few days ago and waiting for a test, i have right now at2020 but i dont like at2020, its good for price but now it looks so old and i think new microphones defenetly worth for changing, i know thats dynamic sm7b would be great in untreated room, but anyway rode nt1 signature is 1st place less noisy condeser microphones thats perfect, only one problem is reverberation in untreated room, but i think for 170$ its worth it to trying to use blanket / curtains / floor mat and other stuff for reduce and making a more or less adequate recording room. I want to record guitars and vocals and I hope my choice will be justified . I know also about sm57, but i think for vocal/guitar nt1 is better, in general, let's see how realistic it is to make a good sound with rode nt1 signature at home if you force the entire apartment with furniture. Also i think rode nt1 sounds in quality better than sm7b, in some youtube tests, but ofc this tests was in good treated acoustic room. perhaps if Shur had improved their microphones or made the price tag more affordable, then I would have looked at shure. I also love to watch podcastage youtube with his music comparison, i think sm7db is great with guitars, but u need also thinking about making acoustic room, i saw his old video with sm7b and new with sm7db, he makes some updates of his room and with good room its sound better, but its should be the same sounds, but its not, not sure thats it was because of +28 db, because microphone its only -60db and higher should not helps with sounds quality, so anyway, i think with both microphones is good to spending time on acoustic room.

      I have the SM7b. I'm actually thinking about switching to the NT1 because it's much less noisy. SM7b is honestly horrible for spoken voice. Well, it sounds phenomenal but there's no getting around the noise floor that is easily audible after pumping in the required 70 dB of gain... So I would suggest sticking with your NT1.

    those easter egg colors are hideous and make the mic look like a cheap toy.
