RØDE NT-USB Mini Versatile Studio-quality Condenser USB Microphone with Free Software for Podcasting, Streaming, Gaming, Music Production, Vocal and Instrument Recording,Black

Right out of the box, this mic feels solid and well-built. It’s surprisingly heavy for its size, which honestly makes it feel premium and durable — definitely not cheap plastic. The compact design is perfect for smaller setups or desks, and the magnetic base keeps it stable while recording. From what I’ve seen and read, the sound quality is clear and crisp thanks to the studio-grade condenser capsule. It’s made to pick up natural-sounding vocals with very low background noise, which makes it great for podcasting, streaming, or recording music. The USB-C cable it comes with is a decent length — long enough to reach from a desk setup to your computer without stretching or needing an extension. It also connects instantly with no extra software needed, which is super convenient. I haven’t recorded with it yet, but just based on the build quality and RØDE’s reputation, this feels like a professional-level mic made to last.

I picked up this Rhode mic for my webinar meetings and overall I'm really happy with it. The sound quality is exactly what I was looking for and it's been working great for my needs. One thing I noticed when I first got it was that there were some white marks on the surface. I was a bit concerned at first thinking they might be scratches or permanent damage, but turns out they just wiped right off with a cloth. Not sure if it was from packaging or handling during shipping, but it wasn't a big deal since they came off easily. The mic itself performs really well and feels solid. Setup was straightforward and I haven't had any technical issues with it. The build quality seems good and it's been reliable so far. Would definitely recommend this mic - just don't worry if you see some white marks when you first unbox it. They're probably just surface residue that cleans off no problem.

Overall this a great little mic if you need some small for voice. Pros: Small size High quality nylon and aluminum construction Simple magnetic base Strong headphone amplifier built in, able to drive many headphones, including those with higher impedance like the MDR V6 at 53ohms Compact and portable Solid USB C connection with a quality, adequate length included cable Cons: Limited to 96khz. People debate this, but 192khz does often sound a bit better to me, though it's not necessary. Somewhat high noise floor - the mic can sound a bit sizzly Included stand is very low, and easily picks up background noise. Depending on your use case you'll almost definitely need to pick up a separate stand that brings the mic within 6 inches of your mouth to take advantage of the proximity effect. You can get an aftermarket stand for not too much money, but frankly I'm not sure why they included such a short stand. Depending on your voice timbre, it can sound somewhat flat and 'robotlike'. This is more a personal problem for since I have a very monotone voice. Different mics can make it sound better. Overall, for the money you really can't go wrong. It's far better than any included headset mic, the headphone amp is very good, and it also sounds pretty decent for acoustic guitar.

The first thing that comes to mind when handling this microphone is its weight. This little guy is deceptively heavy. That's due to its all metal framework. I'll never try it, but it really does feel like that if I tossed the mic across the room it wouldn't receive even a tiny scratch. Really impressive build quality for the price. For just $100 I wasn't expecting very much in the way of sound quality but I can say that it makes my friends, all of which own Blue products and other overpriced microphones, quite jealous. The way this mic handles plosives is great. A built in pop filter adds some serious value to an already excellently valued product. The sound is also crystal clear. What you hear through audio monitoring is also what the mic output sounds like. No dips or hiccups when it comes to output. The one complaint I do have about the overall package is its desk stand. While the desk stand is somehow ALSO tanky as hell, along with bearing a magnetic mount, It's always better to invest in a microphone arm. There are plenty of cheap ones on amazon, but given the fact that this microphone is EXTREMELY sensitive, I recommend buying a quality microphone arm with some sort of shock mount or pad to dampen vibration as the desk moves. Also buyer beware: This microphone has only one polar pattern and lacks the multiple polar patterns that more expensive microphones have. That being said, this microphone was designed specifically for casual use, but delivers the cardioid polar pattern just as good as competing brands. If this is a deal breaker for you, I apologize. Otherwise, the RODE NT USB MINI is a fantastic low cost, highest quality option for people in the market for such a thing. Whether it be for studio recording, streaming, or just sweaty gaming. This little monster does it all better than the rest.

THis is my first microphone and I love it ...great quality of the material it was made of, you have a front Dial to regulate volume, my students are thrilled. Perfect in size for me, since I travel a lot, also so you can move freely without having a big headset with micro on your face ... brrr ;-) this is my ideal part of my set as a teacher for Zoom classes. Highly recommended. Love it! And thank you so much!

MIkrofony przyszły meg szybko i w super cenie. Zostały podpite do aplikacji i można było szybko i sprawnie nagrać podcast. Mam problme jeszcze z ich ustawieniem na 100% ale to berdziej kwestia miejsca niż samych mikrofonów. Szkoda, że nie mają filtra odcięcia pasma ale rozumiem, że od tego jest model NT USB + a nie mini :) Do podcastów dla gości super sprawa polecam

أعرض لك تجربتي كبودكاستر مبتدئ، جربت قبله مايك واحد فقط من fifine وكان مايك تسليكي، هذا التقييم غير موجه لك إذا كنت محترف. هذا المايك بقدم لك تجربة المايكات المرتفعة الثمن من رود على شكل مايك أصغر حجمًا وأرخص سعرًا من غيره، وهي تجربة صوت ممتازة للغاية. الفلترة الداخلية للمايك ممتازة جدًا. لا يوجد تحكم في حساسية التقاط الصوت، فالحساسية لها مستوى واحد "أظن طبيعي لنوعية اللاقط الي فيه والي غير مصمم لسماع الأصوات البعيدة". التحكم الموجود في الجهة الأمامية للمايك هي لمستوى صوت السماعات الخارجية، وأنا ما جربت هذي الميزة. حجمه وشكله لطيف وجودة تصنيعه مميزة. يشبك باللابتوب أو الـ pc بمنفذ C ، تأكد من توفره بجهازك أو خذ معه أدابتر يدعم المايكات. عمومًا إذا كنت مبتدئ وتظن أنك بتستمر فجيد تاخذ هذا المايك أو أي مايك بنفس المستوى، لو رحت لفئات سعرية أقل "مثل fifine" فستفقد جودة الصوت وامتصاص الضربات وإن أخذنا مايك fifine مثالاً فستجد أن مافيه فلترة داخلية أبدًا، وهذا الشي غير مناسب إذا بيئة التسجيل عندك غير مثالية.

I've seen several reviews for this microphone that complain about the fact that the reviewer has to be close to it to obtain adequate volume. That is exactly what makes it a great microphone. A good microphone is not one that picks up any and all sounds around it, but one that picks up what you want it to pick up and discards everything else. And this one excels at that. If you have problems with surrounding noises obscuring your voice or whatever you're recording, this is the microphone you need. It's a cardioid mic, which means it is much less sensitive to sounds that are not directly in front of it. The sensitivity of this mic also falls off quite rapidly -- the official manual says the optimal distance for speaking into this mic is six inches or less -- which means that it's excellent at not picking up sounds that aren't directly in front of, and close to it. It is also very, very good at not picking up sounds transmitted through its body -- so if you accidentally tap it or have it sitting on your desk next to a keyboard while you type, those noises will be very attenuated, if not inaudible. The audio quality is outstanding. If you care about sounding good, this mic will exceed your expectations. The build quality is phenomenal. It's built like a tank, if Apple made tanks. This thing is solid. It's also beautiful -- it looks like a very high-class, well-designed, and sophisticated piece of equipment -- which it is. The button on the front, to toggle the headphone output, is the most tactile button I have ever had the pleasure of pressing. The button's actuation force is high enough that you'll never press it by accident, and the click is crisp and solid. The one missing feature I would have appreciated is a mute button. In these days of ubiquitous surveillance and spyware, every microphone should come with a hard-wired off switch. But other than that, this is one of the best products I have ever bought.

O microfone realmente cumpre o que promete, tendo um bom alcance cardioide, posso coloca-lo contra uma fonte de ruído que deixa muito fácil a remoção deste nos softwares de edição de áudio (Uso o Adobe Audition para a pós produção). Não tive problemas de compatibilidade com nenhum software e sistema operacional, não ocupa espaço físico, muito bom de equalizar na pós produção e aprimorar frequências tanto graves como médio graves e até mesmo agudos. O retorno da voz é excelente também, muito fácil de ser configurado e ideal para ajuste de posição seja do microfone quanto minha (locutor). Recomendo!

I was asked to do a revised read on a voicer while I was away from home. I didn't want to spend a ton on a mic or rent studio time, so after reading and watching some reviews, I narrowed my selection down to the Rode NTUSB Mini. The built in DSP has 4 simple settings - noise gate, compressor, aural exciter and big bottom. There are no adjustments, but I found the presets to be quite satisfactory. I used three of the four and I was so pleased with how my voice sounded that I will be using this as my go to mic for voice overs. I didn't know a USB mic could sound this good. I wanted the mic up close to my mouth, which the short desk stand doesn't lend itself to, but I just placed it on something to elevate it. At home I will mount it on my mic boom arm. It comes with an adaptor for mounting. The compact size makes it easy to take with me on the road, especially with the third party case I also found on Amazon. There is a headphone jack on the back of the mic with a level control on the front that is plenty loud for monitoring during the recording. I am really happy with this purchase.
