Sporting the same warm, silky sonic character that made the NT1 series a go-to studio workhorse for millions, the red NT1 Signature Series Studio Condenser Microphone from RODE is the latest edition of the iconic large-diaphragm mic. With an incredibly low self-noise of 4 dBA and a high SPL handling of 142 dB, the NT1 Signature Series is a versatile Swiss Army knife built to deliver a classic studio sound for a range of applications, from vocal and instrument recording to podcasting, content creation, and voice-over work.

The classic RODE HF6 1" true condenser capsule brings a smooth frequency response and high sensitivity to the table. The internal JFET impedance converter and bipolar output buffer help contribute to the low noise and clean sound. The cardioid pickup pattern helps you avoid unwanted sounds to the rear and sides, a vital feature for podcasting and content creation in untreated spaces. The finish is highly durable, resisting scuffs, scratches, and other physical blemishes that can plague well-used workhorse mics. The NT1 Signature Series includes a 20' XLR cable, an SM6 shockmount and pop filter, and a dust cover.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can I use the mic on my iphone at the same time I am recording iMovie on my phone?

A: This mic will not be available for phone calls while using a recording app.

Q: 2. Can you monitor the recording via Bluetooth headphones connected to the phone? Particularly iPhones, but any insight is welcome.

A: You would need the Rode SC6 to be able to monitor your recording while using the Rode Smartlav in a smartphone.

Q: 3. Would you use these mics on a camera for field reference audio?

A: Yes, the Rode NT55 Compact Condenser Microphone with Interchangeable Capsules could be used on a camera with XLR inputs providing phantom power to capture reference audio. The cardioid capsule included with the NT55 is suggested as opposed to the omni capsule for this application, in order to capture an audio perspective reflective of what the camera is seeing.

Q: 4. Is there gain control on this product?

A: There is a gain control in the app, not on the microphone. The free Rode app works fine depending on your level and number of recording. Just record a few test recordings, adjust and listen to find that sweet spot.

Q: 5. Does this mic work with the blackberry Q10?

Q: 6. Will the mic work with a the Sennheiser 100 ew body pack?

Q: 7. Can i use this for direct audio input of my singing video being filmed on my iphone at the same time (without having to use 2 separate iphones - one for audio and one for video - and then mixing audio and video) using additional software?

A: Yes, the SmartLav+ can be used to record audio for video being filmed on an iPhone (instead of using the iPhone's built-in microphone). You will need to use a Lightning adapter like the Apple Lightning to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter (B&H # APLAADAP) to convert the plug on the mic from 3.5mm TRRS to Lightning.

Q: 8. Can I use the Mic to broadcast media e.g. Periscope. Or to record video on my phone?

A: Yes the smartlav+ does become the default audio device when connected to the iPhone, so it works fine with Periscope and other apps such as the native Video app. We have uploaded a few videos showing the smartlav+ being used for Periscope on the RDE Youtube channel.
