State-of-the-Art Sophisticated Sound
The NT1 5th Generation offers the same warm, silky character, extremely low self-noise, and high maximum SPL for which the original is so valued, with improved circuitry for even lower self-noise – an astonishingly low 4 dBA, making it the worlds lowest-noise studio condenser microphone. When used with the XLR output, it delivers a particularly rich, refined sound. Studio condenser sound. Using the digital output, you can unlock a range of innovative features for professional studio sound directly on your computer.
