RODE NT1 5th Generation review

In this week’s episode we have a look at and listen to the new 5th generation of the RØDE NT1! New to this generation of the bestselling cardioid condenser mic is RØDE’s Dual Connect technology, which allows you to record either via XLR to a recorder or via USB to your computer. This new USB connectivity option also allows for 32-bit float recording, wide dynamic range recording which can be an useful tool. Here, we compare the 4th and 5th gen of the NT1, explore the new variety of recording methods, and dive into the details of 32-bit float. Let’s take a closer look!
