    Product Description

    The NT-USB is a highly versatile side-address microphone that is ideal for recording singing and musical performances in addition to spoken applications such as podcasting and voice-over. It is fully compatible with all mainstream recording applications on both Windows and Mac OS based computers, as well as the Apple iPad using Rode Rec, Garage Band, or any other recording app that accepts an external microphone. Use on the Apple iPad requires a suitable USB connection adaptor, such as the Apple Camera Connection Kit. The body of the NT-USB features a zero-latency stereo headphone monitoring (3.5mm) jack, which allows you to monitor the microphone input in real-time, along with dials to adjust the monitoring level and mix between the computer/iPad audio and the microphone input. A premium pop-filter is included, which fits onto the base of the mic, positioning the filter the ideal distance from the capsule to minimize plosives (hard 'B', 'T' or 'P' sounds that produce a harsh sound) during singing or speech. Also provided is a high-quality stand mount with industry standard 3/8" thread, desktop tripod stand that allows the NT-USB to sit at a comfortable height on a tabletop, and a pouch for storage of the microphone when not in use. Compatible with both Windows and Mac computers, as well as the Apple iPad via the USB camera connection kit (available directly from Apple) Gain setting: When the gain is set too high, the microphone will be too sensitive and can pick up room noise that can even be heard as a hiss. When the gain is set too low, the microphone will be barely audible. Compatible with the SMR shockmount & WS2 foam windshield.

    Customers like the sound quality of the microphone. They say it's excellent, powerful, and will pick up the smallest sound. The frequency response of the captured audio is excellent, and it minimizes background noise. The SM6 shock mount reduces a lot of noise that the mic picks up, and the mic captures the fullness of their voice and airy tambre. Customers also mention that there is zero whine, and no hissing or buzzing.

    Great microphone, meh tripod, oof seller.
    4 Stars
    Great microphone, meh tripod, oof seller.
    If you're checking the product page for this microphone, then it is likely you already know this is one of the best, if not the best, USB microphone available (definitely the best if you consider the price range).I won't go into much detail about the sound, as better audio reviews of it are available on youtube, but I'll say the build quality for it is really solid. It is a mostly metal, subtle imitation of the Rode NT series of microphones. Perhaps the only part that leaves you wanting a little bit more about it is the small tripod and the O-ring that comes with it. They're plastic and leave a little to be desired. It seems from what I've read in some sites these parts are usually the first to break if you're not careful with your microphone.That being said, a good boom arm will easily solve this trouble. And in case the O-ring below your microphone breaks, cracks or otherwise, there are some people who make custom metal ones, being that you could also instead buy a Rode SMR shockmount (the only compatible shock mount I know of for this microphone) which will come with a metal O-Ring to attach the microphone to it.All of that being said, it seems I might have received some kind of refurbished unit from the seller "Adorama." The unit was safely packed, but in the back of the microphone there are some scratches that should definitely not have been there because of how beefy the packaging stereofoam around the microphone is. These could also be a QA issue with Rode, but I really have no way of knowing which of the 2 is responsible. It's probably not a big issue as the unit seems to be working perfectly, but it is definitely something worth noticing.All in all, don't hesitate on the purchase, it is a great microphone.
