Customer reviews about Rode NT1 Signature Black

Literally the NT1 but cheaper

xShell 01.02.2024

Great microphone - amazing detail, extremely quiet, my voice sounds very natural with it and the included kit is also nice. Sound quality-wise it's exactly the same as the 5th gen NT1 but 50 EUR cheaper and without USB capabilities.

Really good microphone

Simon 03.12.2023

The microphone is really good. It sounds very great and its nice with the included pop screen. The black design looks very nice. The included cable is long enough so you can just use it for all you need. Overall I really like the microphone with its included pop filter.

Noticeable difference from my previous setup.

Bogart0 23.07.2024

I'm coming from a cheap Behringer C-1 and UM2 setup that was also possibly broken, it was a hassle to use, constant glitching from the headphone output, recordings sounded horrible. Bought this microphone with an Audient ID4 MKII, no more problems and noticeable difference in quality of my recordings, this is my second microphone, i haven't heard any higher-end microphones so i can't really compare it to other microphones. The microphone is practically noise-less, my previous set up was a noise-generator.

I love it

The best music engineer that has ever lived (false) 08.11.2025

It sounds good — neutral and clear. It looks good, is very light, the shock mount is solid, and the cable is very long. The pop filter is decent — not exceptional, but it does the job correctly, though it’s far from perfect if you don’t know how to control plosive “P” sounds and a lot of air hitting the mic. For the price, however, it’s a jackpot. It matches perfectly with every type of vocal and can be easily shaped with EQ. It handles processing very well, is not sibilant or harsh, and while it sounds a bit sterile, to my ears it makes the sound very clean — I like it.

Almost perfect, but...

Dimiez 17.08.2024

You may think that this is the perfect microphone for the money. Impressive package, very pleasant sound, low noise, 10 years warranty.
But.
This microphone has a very resonant body. It also seems that the capsule does not have sufficient vibration isolation. And even the microphone mount that comes with the kit does not save from extraneous sounds that arise due to insufficient vibration isolation of the capsule. And the resonant body only aggravates the situation. Be prepared to make additional efforts to solve these oversights.

Perfect for a first microphone

Ggggiii 17.11.2025

This is my first microphone and I’m completely satisfied with it. From what I’ve researched, I understand that this microphone is the optimal option for someone looking for quality with a moderate price tag. It feels very sturdy and very well made. Working with it is a pleasure. I could not be happier with my choice! And Thomann processed my ordered perfectly, I will definitely shop here more.

Meh

Ri Mi 29.07.2024

I'm not really sure what all the fuss is about.

I think the "Rode" name and their marketing team are probably much better than the mic itself.

There's honestly nothing wrong with this mic in principal:

It's a clear sounding microphone sure enough, but, after testing it against another vocal mic I bought at the same time I decided to return this one.

The main problem was that it picks up too much ambient noise.
The backing track was pretty very picked up very loud through the singers headphones.
And, when tested against the other microphone it recorded at a 7db quieter level... meaning that, if I turned up the gain to compensate, the ambient noise would be even more of a problem.

So, well it sounds very nice , in practical use it seemed pretty useless for me.

Excellent microphone.

Oakward 26.06.2024

You can't really go wrong with this microphone for the price. Perfect for budget to mid-range setups. With a bit of post-processing you can really make it sound pro.

Crisp and Detailed

amacuche 30.07.2024

While the build quality is not the most robust, the microphone still feels solid and reliable.
The real highlight is the sound quality. My vocals sound incredibly crispy and detailed, with clear and precise audio capture.
For anyone looking for a high-quality, affordable condenser microphone, I highly recommend the Rode NT1 Signature Series. It offers exceptional value for the price.
