I agree with all the positive reviews of this video share, Not only was it quick, concise and to the point, the voice is friendly, smooth, and personable with the right amount of professionalism. This was much appreciated by another fellow Film professional. Kudos and again thanks for your time.
We appreciate the kind words, @TheSuperChannel! Julian makes it easy for us 🥰
Thank you for keeping it simple 👏
Great instructions! Works perfect when connecting to my laptop!
That's awesome to hear! 🙌 Good luck on your NT1 journey, and welcome to the family 👏
Very well done,
Oh boy all I needed to do was turn the phantom power button on lollll thank you
Rode is amazing
Hi, I'm considering purchasing this microphone and have a question. Can I use the USB C connection with the USB Type C port that I have on the gpu? it's a nvidia 2070 super, thanks
It looks like the USB-C port from the GPU could potentially only be able to be used for sending out a video signal for display. I'd recommend reaching out to the manufacturers to confirm this for you before purchasing 😊
Quick question can you connect the rode NT1 A to a computer 💻 using USB adapter. Bc I saw one ☝️ on Internet but just wanted to be sure bf I order it.
We'd recommend a high quality interface such as the AI-1: rode.com/en/interfaces-and-mixers/ai-series/ai-1 rather than the (often lower quality) preamps found in smaller adaptors and such.
@@rodemic I just ordered the 5th gen. Thanks for the reply
Thank you for the video. Can I use the cable with an adapter usb c to usb 3 instead of another cable? In that case, should I get usb or usb otg?
Is it possible?
I'm using it with its usb-c cable connected with a Female-C to male-A USB3 adaptor. Works perfectly. They say you can use any good quality USBC to USBA USB2 cable.
Are you aware of any way to connect this mic to a Canon DSLR; enabling it to capture video and audio synced?
If not, is there a reasonable workaround which doesn’t require extensive familiarity with editing?
Unfortunately not, the NT1 5th Gen is a studio condenser microphone that requires phantom power in order to work. Camera's are not capable of providing this level of power. We would recommend recording the audio separately and syncing it with the video with post.
Thank you for your quick and precise video. However, please do let me know if I need phantom power enabled audio interface while using USB connectivity ? Which sound output is better XLR with phantom power audio interface or direct USB connectivity with computer/mobile ? Does the mic has built in phantom power for USB connectivity ? Thank you in advance.
Phantom power will be needed for the NT1 5th Gen. While the sound signature remains the same with both connection types, USB-C connectivity comes with the added feature of 32-bit float!
@@rodemic thank you for your response. Does USB C connectivity need phantom power audio interface ?
I tried to connect the microphone directly to my mobile device C port (as I do with my Maono USB mic.) but it didn't work as we have smule and other singing apps on mobile which makes it easy to record. Does this only work with laptop C port and not with mobile device?
thx this realy helped
Thank you for the clear expalantion. I still have one question, is it possible to use the mic on a Mac and GarageBand as recordingprograma?
Yes, it is @claudettebeltman5371 🤠
Hi, i just want to ask.
Why did my rode nt1 5th gen doesnt have a signal input? Is it the settings or something? I just got it and cant use it.
I use M Audio for my soundcard
You may have to check to see if you have phantom power enabled! If it is on and there is still no audio, feel free to get in touch with our Support team who will happily assist you 😊 help.rode.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
I'm having a problem that you might be able to help me with. I have set up my NT1 5th Gen mic using the USB connection but when I plug my headphones in I don't hear myself. My DAW is Audacity but when I tried to listen using Adobe Audition the result was the same--I can't hear myself while I am recording. What am I doing wrong?
Did you download their driver?
@@santoshpss I did not. For some reason I thought you only needed to do that with a Windows system and I have a Mac.
@@jeffsteitzer6005 Wait you don't need a driver if you use MacOS.
@@jeffsteitzer6005 Maybe change the output device as your headphones in the driver settings in Adobe Audition. I'm sorry but I'm not that familiar with MacOS even though I have an iMac but it's a 2017 version and I rarely use it.
I presumed you had a Windows PC.
@@santoshpss that's what I thought.
Where would you find the input and output selection on a tablet?
I'd recommend reaching out to the manufacturers of the tablet for this information 😊
what mic stand are you using?
The PSA1+ 😎
If I’m going usb into Mac using audacity how does the onboard dsp in the mic work? Does it save the configurations until you go into rode connect again and manipulate it?
Hey there. I am facing blue screen error on my windows when I am chaning the audio system as Nt1 5th generation (Float). Could anyone help me out where I am wrong?
Hey Mohammed- this seems like a tough one, but our service team will be able to help you. Reach them at rode.com/en/support/contact, and make sure to include as much information as possible about your setup and when this error happens so they can help you.
Hello! Which audio interface are you using? Im not sure which one to buy
This confuses me because i have a 4th gen, plus theirs basically no tutorials plus i can't find out how to get my Mic to work in Audacity. I tried my sound settings with my mic and put audacity on the same ones. Idk what to do.
Hey there @RemedyJLock, we're sorry to hear that you're finding it hard to use your NT1 with Audacity. The only thing to really be aware of from our perspective is that the NT1 requires phantom power. Other than that, the NT1 functions like any other mic. The best way to solve your issue would be to try looking for help in the audacity community, asking the manufacturer of the audio interface that connects your device to your computer, or asking our support team here: rode.com/en/support/contact
i confuse to connect them on studio one, with focusrite as output, when i choose the interface of rode i can monitor output even that i change the setting on control panel still its just my voice could record without monitoring, or i can hear music but cant record/detect my voice except only way to do this by xrl , so i cant get any - 32 bit (float) on studio one ? or i missing something ?
Hey there @gazaini - sorry to hear you're having issues monitoring your NT1 5th Generation's output. We'd recommend getting in touch with our support team here - they'll be able to help you out: rode.com/en/support/contact
@@rodemic alright
Hello I had bought a rode nt1 5th gen microphone and well this is my first microphone I’m purchasing I have no idea what I’m doing last time I ended up buying a rode tripod mic stand bc I thought it would hold up this mic i was surly mistaken could anyone recommend a mic stand that can sit on my desktop and hold the microphone in place?
Great pickup! We do have the PSA1 and PSA1+ that could hold the NT1 5th Gen without any issues :)
the straight cord to computer is not working for me. I did all the steps you outlined here. please let me know what you suggest. thank you

Hey can we use this mic on a phone, i have galaxy note 10+, if yes then how? I have recently purchased this and now it's not working on phone so feeling like returning it.
Hey there, this mic should work with the Galaxy Note 10 as it works with USB-C phones (i.e. not phones with a Lightning port). We'd recommend testing it using the included cable from the box, and either the RØDE Central or RØDE Reporter app, as not all apps support external microphones, but ours definitely do. If your mic still isn't working, you can get in contact with our support team here: rode.com/en/support/contact
@@rodemic I tried both of them but nothing worked, I guess it requires more power
Does it work on fl studio windows?
will plugging my studio headphones into my computer sound just as good as plugging it into my amp? because my amp sounds very very good with my headphones plugged into it but I don’t want the extra wires from the amp
That really depends on what type of amp you're using and what your expectations are.
Ia it possible to use an usb-c to usb-a cable to connect the mic to a laptop? I would like to test it because i have some problems with the usb-c to usb-c connection ( already talked with the support team and they advised me to buy an audio interface ) so i would like to try a usb-c to usb-a connection first but i want to know if it’s something the mic supports before i spend money on the cable. Thank you 🙏🏻
Hey there - yes the mic does support USB-C to USB-A cables. Good luck!
@@rodemic Oh awesome thank you for the reply ☺️
Is it normal to increase my microphone db to 50 or there is not enough power? because I feel like I lose sound quality if I use it (I increase it in Rode connect), but if I don't use it then I can barely hear my vocals at 23db (I'm using USB C Cable) and I see other peoples youtube videos using less than I do. Please help me
Hey there, usually our users will set their NT1s around 30db, but depending on how far you are from the mic, or how the tone of your voice, you may need to increase the gain. That's totally normal. The most important thing is that your NT1 sounds good- if it doesn't, let us know and we can help you out.
I have a Rockville power Gig RPG 123k. Can I just plug it straight into it ? Because I'm not getting any sound ,and does it have an off /on switch ?
Hey there, the NT1 5th Generation uses 48V phantom power to operate, so you'll need an amp, mixer, or other interface which can supply 48V phantom power.
Is it the same for windows system? I heard people saying it's hard to get ASIO working on windows system
Hey there! We can confirm that yes, it does work on Windows- the ASIO driver can be found on our website here: rode.com/en/user-guides/nt1-5th-generation
After I bought the Rode NT1 5th, it became clear to me that the sound was very amplified. I checked the sound settings carefully and everything seemed fine, but the sound in all audio apps was still amplified and unclear. also I tried to install RODE CONNECT but it shows an error message that cannot be opened. Any Solution?
MacOS Catalina
It may help to adjust the volume of the mic in RØDE Central, by loading up the audio settings and lowering the gain. If that doesn't work, we'd recommend checking in with our support team here: rode.com/en/support/contact
Can i use these in starmaker app
I'm afraid we're unable to confirm this as the NT1 5th Gen were not directly designed for mobile devices.
I got this mic, I have usb a to a cable and an attachment at the end that makes it usb c so I can plug into the mic. However once plugged in the mic doesn’t show up in my inputs. I even downloaded the drivers, and my windows is up to date but still nothing. And then I tried using my Mac and used the default usb c to c cable provided and while the mic was now detected… I’m unable to select in my DAW (fl studio)
Hey there, we recommend using the included cable as other cables may not be the right spec to work with the NT1 5th Generation. If you're still experiencing issues, we recommend chatting to our friendly support team here: rode.com/en/support/contact
Can I use Ableton Live with 24 bit to record this Rode NT1 5th Gen mic using USB C to USB A connection to my Windows PC? I wanna use FlexASIO. Ordered from Amazon just now. It takes two days to deliver... :)
Hey there, we can't confirm it's functionality with 3rd-party ASIO plugins, but there are many users who use this mic with Ableton everyday. If it's not working, try out the device's ASIO plugin here: rode.com/en/user-guides/nt1-5th-generation#section-asio-driver-for-windows
@@rodemic It works actually. :)
when Im connecting my nta 1 to my m-track audio interface its indicators flicker a bit but the mic still doesnt detect any sound
Hey there, that sounds like a tricky issue. Some troubleshooting steps could include trying other mics with your interface and trying to use your NT1 in USB mode. If the issue persists, you can get in contact with our friendly support team here: rode.com/en/support/contact
I need the rode ai 1 I bought one think g it would work right away. Dang lol 😅
The NT1 5th Generation works with the digital USB connection and the XLR connection, if you have this model you don't immediately need to invest in an interface.
Which software will be better for recording With windows 11?
Hey there- we've got a guide to recording in 32 bit float in our user guide which includes a list of compatible recording programs on PC: rode.com/en/user-guides/nt1-5th-generation#module_29
Can I connect it to my iPad Pro for recording?
Hi @funkybeatful, If your iPad has a USB-C output, it will work great with the NT1 5th Generation, but if it has a lightning port, it wont.
Is there a way (e.g. ultra small interface) to connect it to my cellphone (via USB C)?
It's not compatible with phones but if you use an audio interface which is capable of USB audio, such as the RØDECaster Pro II, then yes, you could.
oh hello !how to connect dslr or camera ?
Unfortunately unless your camera accepts USB mics as an input or your camera supplies phantom power to the mic, its a little tricky to connect the two. We would recommend recording simultaneously into a computer via USB and syncing the video and audio in post.
dicrect usb type c to computer dont work its fake claim its does not work
Hï,
This Rode work Walloon focusrite interface ?
Hey there- It will work with any audio interface that can supply 48v phantom power.
So it can be connected to phone ?
If your phone has a USB-C port, yes, if it has a Lightning port, no.
Uhhh what if i dont have headphones or an interface how can i hear the usb one😃☹️
If you don't have headphones, you can use your speakers to monitor the sound which is being recorded on your NT1 5th Generation. But just be aware you may experience unwanted feedback while doing this!
Chapters please
Mine didn't come with the thing you
plugged in?
Same problem here, did you buy it? Idk if this audio interface is necessary
@@joips1108 Yes unfortunately it's necessary. And it's like $200 :/
@@biggesthaterontheinternet yes, I watched a video bout it, bought the focusrite scarlett 2i2 3rd gen for 120, I hope that goes alright. Really didn't expect those things to be that expensive tho fr
Hey there folks. To correct the record, no, an interface isn't necessary to use the NT1 5th Generation with a computer running Windows or macOS. With these devices, you can plug the NT1 5th Generation straight in using the included USB cable. If your computer doesn't have a USB-C port, most USB-C to USB-A cables will work, such as the SC18. You can check out our user guide here for more information: rode.com/en/microphones/studio-condenser/nt1-5th-generation
So the stand didn't come with my Mic and basically, you NEEED a stand if you dont want you USB wire to be bent. The least the company could've done was give me a stand, I literally paid 250 dollars for this and I can't even use the mic properly.
You need a dose of reality. You got what you paid for - a microphone. How you use a microphone properly is not their fault, but yours alone. I can imagine the shock on your face when you find out there are far more expensive mics that DO NOT come with stands or arms, nor do they come with XLR cables.
Next time, do your research before deciding so you manage your expectations.
Both of y’all boogers correct are correct 😆
I use an empty shoes box and I cut two holes in it (one on the top and one on the side) to let the wire pass through and then I layed the microphone on top of the box lol
I don't have enough money to also buy a stand, so I managed with what I had at home ahahah
U sended him sleep 😂@@glennblnco
I've got a Presonus io44 and I can't manage to make it work. Is there anybody able to help me?
Hey there- feel free to get in contact with our support team for help! rode.com/en/support/contact
👍
Lost me at phantom power. Trying to connect this to my Sony ZV-E10
In this case, we'd recommend recording it directly to your computer via the USB cable and syncing in post
Needs a sound card؟
Hey Mohammed, what do you mean?
i use usb
The NT1 5th Gen will also work with a USB-C to USB-A cable 😊
