Rode NT-SF1 Ambisonic Microphone
The Rode NT-SF1 Ambisonic Microphone is a 360-degree portable microphone designed for 3D audio production. The Rode NT-SF1 combines the innovation of SoundFields ambisonic microphone with years of microphone-making expertise from Rode.

The Ambisonic microphone features a redesigned capsule custom-made by Rode providing ultra-low noise performance with an extended frequency response. The ambisonic design ensures the best possible spatialisation for 3D audio processing. The NT-SF1 is ideal for a range of applications including 3D soundscapes for VR applications, foley work, ensemble recording, and more.

Ambisonic Technology
The Rode NT-SF1 Ambisonic Microphone bases its design on SoundFields’ original Ambisonic microphone utilising the same innovative technology. The original Ambisonic microphone revolutionised the microphone world, drastically improving the 3D audio production world. The result was this highly versatile broadcast-quality microphone.

Building on this design, Rode have incorporated years of microphone expertise to create a one-of-a-kind ambisonic capsule. This specialised mic capsule provides ultra low-noise performance resulting in exceptional smoothness and an extremely wide frequency range. The tuning and arrangement of the capsule is taken from the premium-grade SoundField technology, providing the most precise spatialisation possible for optimal 3D audio accuracy.

Versatile Micing Applications
The unique design of the NT-SF1 makes it ideal for a wide range of micing applications. The 4-headed mic design is perfect for 3D audio recording, capturing an incredible stereo image that provides a highly immersive soundstage. This can be used for a variety of purposes such as ensemble recording or VR applications. The mic is also great for music recording, capturing live performances, group recordings, duets, and more. Professional productions increasingly require surround or multi-channel spatial reproduction, making the NT-SF1 a must-have in any sound recordings setup.

Exceptional Audio Fidelity
Not only does the NT-SF1 provide 360-degree audio recording capabilities, it also ensures optimal audio fidelity. The combination of the four 1/2-inch Rode TF45C capsules provides unparalleled realism and transparency. The ultra-wide frequency response captures every nuance of your source audio for optimal sonic accuracy.
