HQ Audio Of Review: https://podcastage.com/rev/rodent15th
Today I review the brand new NT1 from Rode which offers 32bit floating point A/D conversion over the USB output. This offers a pretty neutral bass and mids frequency response which means it can get a bit overpowering in the lower frequencies if you're close micing, and then you get a detailed treble sound. It has an impressive self noise of only 4dBa and a max SPL of 142dB. It's a very impressive mic that will serve some people extremely well.
