The Rode NT-USB+ USB Condenser Microphone is an upgraded version of the original NT-USB. It features enhanced internal circuitry and a high-end onboard Revolution Preamp, providing high-resolution audio fidelity. The NT-USB+ also includes built-in DSP for onboard audio processing powered by APHEX. This allows you to use a compressor or noise gate, as well as the Aural Exciter and Big Bottom effects. The microphone uses a studio-grade condenser capsule with a tight cardioid polar pattern, ensuring excellent sound quality from any audio source. It is perfect for capturing vocals and instruments with precise sonic accuracy. The NT-USB+ also offers a high-powered headphone output for zero-latency monitoring, along with onboard level/mix controls. The package includes premium-quality accessories such as a pop filter and a desktop mount, making it convenient for recording at home or on the move. It also features a USB-C output, allowing for easy plug-and-play connectivity with computers, smartphones, and tablets.
Building on the original design, the NT-USB+ incorporates all-new internal circuitry with improved audio resolution and a cutting-edge Revolution preamp, which is the same preamp found in the Rodecaster Pro II. This preamp provides ultra-low noise performance and crystal-clear audio quality, thanks to the internal 24-bit/48kHz digital converter. The microphone’s studio-grade condenser capsule delivers warmth and clarity, with an extended frequency response that captures every subtle detail. The cardioid polar pattern minimizes unwanted background noise, ensuring a focused and clear sound reproduction. The NT-USB+ also includes internal digital signal processing (DSP) technology powered by APHEX. This allows you to enhance your sound with real-time effects for various recording applications using the Rode Connect software. The DSP features a high-pass filter to eliminate low-end rumble, a noise gate to eliminate background noise, and a compressor to add punch or create a balanced sound. It also includes APHEX’s signature effects, including the Aural Exciter and Big Bottom, which deliver a classic broadcast voice tone.
The NT-USB+ is designed to be portable and easy to use, with a plug-and-play design and a built-in USB-C output. This allows for connectivity with computers, smartphones, and tablets, making it perfect for recording on the go. The microphone also features a built-in headphone output for zero-latency monitoring, complete with onboard level/mix monitor controls. It comes with a premium-grade pop shield and a stand mount for added convenience.
