In this week’s episode we have a look at the RØDE NT1, a large-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone. This studio mic has a directional, cardioid polar pattern, a 1” gold-sputtered capsule, and internal Rycote Lyre shock mounting to reduce bumps and typing from messing with your recording. In this episode we listen to some sound samples, discuss the NT1’s features, and walk through how you might use it in your audio recording, podcasting, or livestreaming workflow. Let’s take a closer look and listen!
