Product Description
The NT-USB is a highly versatile side-address microphone that is ideal for recording singing and musical performances in addition to spoken applications such as podcasting and voice-over. It is fully compatible with all mainstream recording applications on both Windows and Mac OS based computers, as well as the Apple iPad using Rode Rec, Garage Band, or any other recording app that accepts an external microphone. Use on the Apple iPad requires a suitable USB connection adaptor, such as the Apple Camera Connection Kit. The body of the NT-USB features a zero-latency stereo headphone monitoring (3.5mm) jack, which allows you to monitor the microphone input in real-time, along with dials to adjust the monitoring level and mix between the computer/iPad audio and the microphone input. A premium pop-filter is included, which fits onto the base of the mic, positioning the filter the ideal distance from the capsule to minimize plosives (hard 'B', 'T' or 'P' sounds that produce a harsh sound) during singing or speech. Also provided is a high-quality stand mount with industry standard 3/8" thread, desktop tripod stand that allows the NT-USB to sit at a comfortable height on a tabletop, and a pouch for storage of the microphone when not in use. Compatible with both Windows and Mac computers, as well as the Apple iPad via the USB camera connection kit (available directly from Apple) Gain setting: When the gain is set too high, the microphone will be too sensitive and can pick up room noise that can even be heard as a hiss. When the gain is set too low, the microphone will be barely audible. Compatible with the SMR shockmount & WS2 foam windshield.

EDIT: I previously said here I was getting the MXL BCD-1 dynamic mic instead, which I'd read is used in some radio stations, and I did, but it's also very sensitive.
So far the best choice from my home recording that I've found is the Audio-Technica ATR2100 dynamic mic which has good sound and leaves out the background noise, has USB and XLR connections, and it's more affordable.
Enter this wonderful mic. Rode is one of the best, no question there. But unlike the Yeti I just plugged this into my computer and it sounded amazing. No hiss, nice and loud and my voice was crisp and clear. It wasn't overly sensitive and I could record podcasts right in my living room. Best of all, I could plug it into my iPad and make recordings on the fly.
I spent two weeks researching mics and ultimately bought this. So take advantage of my extensive work and buy this mic. And let me answer your question.. After recording your first track and you listen to yourself, Yes! That is what you sound like. Sorry if you thought you sounded like George Clooney or Kate Winslet. But that's what audio effects are for!
I now have a Rode NT-USB microphone attached to the SM6 Shock Mount, all on the PSA1 Studio arm.
What I really like is that the microphone is actually suspended with the SM6 shock mount, so it reduces a lot of noise that the microphone pics up.
I am not a professional Audio Engineer, and have been learning about all this on my own. However, I am a professional looking for great narration. This product fits my needs and my budget. In comparison to the Blue Yeti/Radius II set up I have, this is slightly better. There is slightly more control with this microphone than the Blue Yeti for Unidirectional sound. The Blue Yeti works great, and has a few functions this Microphone does not. For basic narration, where you only want to pick up sound/voice from one direction this mic is better.
I use this microphone with Audacity, and Storyline 2 for software. It works great, and produces a high quality sound that I need to engage learners.
I would buy this product again.

I decided to get this mic for my home use. It's FANTASTIC! Crystal clear vocal recording. It is very sensitive, so it will pick up background noises and chatter, so be sure you are in a very quiet place when you record. The actual quality of the recorded vocals however, are beautiful, clear, and does not require too much tweaking to get the vocals up to the industry standard, through effects, etc.
I would highly recommend this mic to anyone who does home/studio recording, podcasts, and so on.

Kauft gerne das Mikro, aber nicht im Set!
Ich werde diese Bewertung selbstverständlich löschen, falls ich mitbekomme, dass dieses Set so nicht mehr angeboten wird.

Damit man sich nur auf die Stimme konzentrieren kann sollte es nicht hallen und Umgebungsgeräusche einfangen. Ich hatte meinen TV im Nebenraum laufen gelassen und bei geschlossener Tür gehört, in den Aufnahmen ist davon nichts zu hören.
Stimmaufnahmen: Ich musst erst den richtigen Abstand und Winkel finden, so dass die Aufnahme satt klingt.
Hier ist das Mikro ziemlich empflindlich. Ein paar Zentimeter entfernter (5 cm) und es hallte, obwohl ich einen sehr kleinen Raum zur Aufnahme nutze. Aber erstmal richtigen Abstand gefunden, klingt es hammer profesionell!
Abstrich: Das mitgelieferte Stativ ist aus Plastik und kann dementsprechend das Mikro nicht stabil halten. Man muss schon mehrere Male die Position ausklügeln, wegen Gewichtsverlagerung, damit es nicht umkippt.
Und bestenfalls während den Aufnahmen nicht stupsen.
Fazit: Es gibt weitaus teurere Artikel, die weniger leisten können. Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Kauf und wem das Stativ nicht stört, dem sei 100% dazu geraten!

ich habe das Mikrofon vor ca. 3 Monaten gekauft und bin immer noch unglaublich fasziniert!!! Ich habe das Mikrofon gekauft, um meine Stimme für einige Videos aufzunehmen (so ne Art "Erzählerstimme"). Dabei ist es unglaublich wichtig, dass die Stimme sauber und klar aufgenommen wird. Das ist mit diesem Mikrofon auf jedenfall möglich!!!
Ich bin ehrlich zu euch. Die Konfiguration unter Windows 10 mit Audacity hat etwas Zeit in Anspruch genommen. Das lag nicht an dem Gerät selber, sondern an der Software und den Audiotreibern. Also nicht demotivieren lassen :D! Auch das Finden der richtigen Position kann etwas Zeit in Anspruch nehmen. Natürlich ist das nur wichtig, wenn man die bestmöglichen Aufnahmen erzeugen möchte. Für Skype und Teamspeak heißt es anschließen und Spaß haben :D
Die Verpackung macht einen unglaublich edlen Eindruck. Man sagt ja bekanntlich "der erste Eindruck ist entscheidend". Und das Gefühl eines "hochwertigen" Mikrofons fängt hier schon bei der Verpackung an! Hier gibt es ja schon einige Bilder die das sehr gut demonstrieren.
Ich hoffe ich konnte euch etwas weiterhelfen.
Viele Grüße!

Update: I have a new studio space which isn't my kitchen, and this is my preferred mic when I wish to capture more emotion. I have since acquired two dynamics mics - ATR2100 that I use as my daily driver and a Rode Podmic with a USB interface. Compared to those two mics, the sound of the NT-USB is much warmer, livelier and more full spectrum. It's less bassy than the Dynamic mics.
I have children and I hear the occasional car passing in front of my window, so in my case for most instances I still prefer dynamic mics due to the inherent noise rejection.
The only missing feature is gain level knob on the mic.
Yet, once again, if you have an acoustically treated room, and a fairly quiet ambience, then this is a great plug and play mic.
