Rode’s NT-USB+ microphone launches with next-generation features
(Pocket-lint) – Rode has revealed that it’s updating its legendary NT-USB with new features that include not only a studio-grade condenser capsule but also an internal DSP (Digital Signal Processor) for advanced audio processing. The NT-USB+ boasts an ultra-low-noise, high-gain Revolution Preamp along with advanced audio processing powered by APHEX. This gives the plug-and-play USB microphone access to various different effects and settings that make it sound even better.
That includes a compressor, noise gate and legendary Aural Exciter and Big Bottom effects via RODE Central and RODE Connect.

Rode says the NT-USB+ is an all-in-one solution for capturing professional sound, with a compact and portable design that makes it ideal for a range of users including musicians, podcasters, streamers and more. The studio-grade condenser capsule and tight cardioid polar pattern ensures clear audio capture and a professional sound. The built-in pre-amp also gives you access to high-resolution 24-bit/48kHz analogue-to-digital conversion for superb clarity as well.
Rode CEO Damien Wilson spoke about the new launch: “With the NT-USB+, we are setting a new standard. We have kept the form factor and functionality that made the original such a success and introduced several new features, integrating cutting-edge technology for the next wave of creators.
Plug-and-play USB audio has never sounded this good.” The Rode NT-USB+ offers plug-and-play compatibility with Mac and Windows computers but also works with both Android and iOS smartphones as well. It boasts zero-latency headphone monitoring via a 3.5mm jack and that has a high power output as well.
