RODE NT-USB Mini USB Microphone

The RODE NT-USB Mini USB Microphone delivers professional-grade audio for podcasting and streaming. Its capsule is precisely tuned for spoken word clarity, while its robust construction minimizes handling noise for clean recordings. Compatible with computers and tablets, this compact USB mic ensures studio-quality sound without the bulk. Control multiple mics simultaneously using the free RODE Connect software, which includes podcasting-optimized features. Ideal for content creators seeking reliability and superior audio performance in a compact, easy-to-use package.

Works with Your Setup

• The mic will operate with both Mac and Windows computers, no special driver downloads are required.
• You can also use it with smartphones and tablets, so long as you have the compatible adapter for mobile devices (available separately).
• No preamp, interface, converters, or mixer are necessary for recording your voice.
• The included stand is more than a stand—it isolates the NT-USB Mini from structurally borne noises and vibrations; this delivers a cleaner sound. 
• If you want to take the mic off the stand, this is easy, as its magnetically attached. A 5/8 to 3/8" thread adapter ensures you can mount NT-USB Mini on nearly any mic stand.

Designed for the Spoken Word

• The NT-USB Mini's condenser capsule is tuned by RODE to capture both the warmth and the presence of your voice, giving your recordings the heft they need to cut through the fray.
• It will do so, while minimizing noise in the room, thanks to its cardioid polar pattern, which naturally focuses audio spoken directly into the mic while tamping down any sound to the back or sides.
• An internal windscreen filters out vocal plosives to help you capture a clean recording, one that sounds professional right out of the gate.
• The mic records audio at 24-bit/48 kHz, giving you the broadcast standard for how many samples it can record in a second, and providing a high degree of dynamic range. A non-techy translation: this microphone is well suited for picking up the nuances of your voice.

Cardioid Polar Pattern for the Untreated Room

• The microphone makes use of a directional cardioid polar pattern to minimize off-axis sound.
• This polar pattern naturally tamps down room tone, focusing the audio capture on whatever's in front of the mic.
• Depending on your particular room, you may still need a little room treatment, or some noise-reduction software, to address issues such as your computer's hum or your air conditioner—but the chances of this are markedly lower with a cardioid polar pattern.

Built-In 3.5mm Headphone Jack and Volume Dial

• The mic offers a headphone jack for monitoring.
• Just plug a pair of headphones into the NT-USB Mini's 3.5mm jack, and you'll be able to listen to your high-quality audio in all its glory.
• Also, a convenient volume dial helps you raise or lower the headphone volume; you won't have to change the volume on your computer or your recording software to hear audio at your desired level.
