Our take on the Rode NT-USB+ USB Condenser Microphone

The NT-USB+ is Rode's second-generation USB condenser microphone, a plug-and-play cardioid mic for vocals, instruments and streaming. It adds the Revolution preamp from the Rodecaster Pro II, a 24-bit/48kHz converter and internal APHEX DSP effects you control in Rode Connect software. Against rivals like the Blue Yeti and HyperX QuadCast it trades multiple pickup patterns for a cleaner single-cardioid signal and onboard processing. Owners and reviewers rate its sound and build highly, while some find the software-dependent effects and lack of a mute button limiting.

About the Rode NT-USB+ USB Condenser Microphone

The Rode NT-USB+ is a USB condenser microphone built on the original NT-USB design. It has new internal circuitry and a 'Revolution' preamp, the same preamp used in the Rodecaster Pro II. A studio-grade condenser capsule with a cardioid polar pattern helps reduce background noise. The internal converter records at 24-bit/48kHz.

Internal APHEX-powered digital signal processing is controlled through the Rode Connect software. It includes a high-pass filter to reduce low-end rumble, a noise gate, and a compressor. It also includes the APHEX Aural Exciter and Big Bottom effects. Big Bottom gives the classic broadcast voice tone.

The microphone is plug-and-play and connects over USB-C to a computer, smartphone or tablet. A built-in headphone output provides zero-latency monitoring, with onboard level and mix controls. A pop shield and a stand mount are included.

Questions and answers

Is the NT-USB+ worth it over the original NT-USB?
Yes for most buyers. The NT-USB+ adds the Revolution preamp, a 24-bit/48kHz converter and APHEX DSP effects, giving cleaner sound and more processing options than the original.
Does it work without installing software?
Yes. It works as a plug-and-play USB mic on Mac, Windows and mobile. The APHEX effects and high-pass filter, noise gate and compressor need the free Rode Connect app.
What comes in the box?
The microphone, a desk stand, a pop filter, a USB-C cable and a 3.5mm headphone jack for zero-latency monitoring.
Can I use it for streaming and gaming?
Yes. Its cardioid pattern and low noise suit streaming, and the headphone jack lets you monitor yourself. There is no hardware mute button, so muting is done in software.
Does it need a shock mount or audio interface?
No interface is needed; it connects directly over USB. A shock mount is optional and helps isolate desk bumps.
How does it compare with the Blue Yeti?
The NT-USB+ has a cleaner single-cardioid signal and onboard DSP, while the Yeti offers multiple pickup patterns and a hardware mute. Choose the Rode for vocal clarity, the Yeti for pattern flexibility.
