RODE NT1/AI-1 KIT - a kit consisting of the RODE NT1 microphone, the RODE AI-1 audio interface, and the RODE SMR mount.
RODE NT1
The RODE NT1 microphone is equipped with a 1-inch diameter HF6 condenser capsule, which provides good sensitivity, rich and natural tone, and operates in a frequency range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
The cardioid polar pattern allows for reducing noise from the sides and back of the capsule, leaving only the audible zone in front of it. The maximum sound pressure level can reach 132 dB, allowing for working with very loud signals, such as drums or guitar amplifiers.
The built-in Rycote Lyre capsule suspension system effectively protects the device from external factors, and the active electronics with JFET buffer on the output reduces resistance and minimizes microphone self-noise, providing high-quality sound with almost any external preamp. The output connector is a 3-pin XLR, and the device requires +48 V phantom power for operation.

RODE AI-1
The AI-1 is a convenient single-channel USB audio interface that can be used with both microphone and instrument inputs.
The AI-1 USB audio interface adds studio-quality sound input and output capabilities to your computer, making home recording easier than ever. Thanks to the high-quality Neutrik combo input connector and class A discrete preamplifier, you can connect a microphone, guitar, or any other instrument with a line level output, such as a synthesizer, to your computer.
The AI-1 provides zero-latency playback by enabling direct monitoring and playback through headphones/speakers with the help of a high-quality discrete headphone amplifier. To make the AI-1 interface truly universal, it is equipped with 48V phantom power for microphones and is automatically recognized by the computer as a USB device without the need for driver installation.
Features of RODE AI-1:
- Form factor: Desktop
- Phantom power
- DAC bit depth: 24-bit
- Connectors: 6.3 mm, USB, XLR
- Frequency range: 20 Hz - 20 kHz
- Powerful microphone preamplifier
- Convenient, intuitive controls
RODE SMR
RODE SMR is a spider-type shock mount with a pop filter for Rode large-diaphragm condenser microphones.
The double suspension system provides vibration isolation. It also features a unique integrated pop filter solution to protect the captured sound from interference caused by air hitting the microphone capsule.
The mount body is made of high-strength engineered polymer material used in industries such as safety equipment and military artillery, resulting in a mount that is virtually immune to wear and tear.
Features of SMR:
- Premium shock mount for Rode large-diaphragm condenser microphones
- Unique dual Rycote Lyre suspension system for maximum microphone isolation
- Removable all-metal pop filter
- Enhanced mount for secure attachment of heavy microphones
- Reinforced polymer construction
- Built-in cable management system
- Universal mounting nut for Rode large-diaphragm condenser microphones
- Dimensions (W x H x D): 220 x 130 x 210 mm
- Weight: 266 g
Package Contents:
- RODE NT1 microphone
