RØDE NT‑USB+ – Professional USB Studio Microphone (EN)
Complete Product Description – English Version
The RØDE NT‑USB+ is the next-generation USB studio microphone, designed for users who want broadcast-quality sound without the need for complicated audio setups. With advanced onboard technology, a built-in DSP, high-end preamp, and modern connectivity, this microphone delivers crystal-clear recordings with zero latency, all through a simple USB connection — no external audio interface required.
This microphone is ideal for:
-
Podcasters and content creators looking for professional audio with minimal setup.
-
Streamers, YouTubers, and voice-over artists in need of a plug-and-play microphone with built-in processing.
-
Musicians and vocalists recording demos, acoustic instruments, or backing vocals in a home studio.
-
Remote professionals recording meetings, podcasts, or webinars in high quality.
Simply connect the NT-USB+ via USB-C to a compatible computer, tablet, or smartphone (with proper adapter/cable) and immediately access onboard audio effects such as compression, noise gate, and EQ using RØDE Connect or RØDE Central software.
In untreated rooms, the tight cardioid pattern helps reject background noise, while zero-latency monitoring allows users to hear themselves in real time, which is essential for vocal alignment, pitch, and performance.

No complex setup: compatible with Windows, macOS, iPadOS (via appropriate adapter).

Multi-unit support: connect up to 4 NT-USB+ microphones simultaneously with RØDE Connect for group podcasts.

In short, the RØDE NT‑USB+ is the ideal solution for users demanding studio-grade quality, plug-and-play simplicity, and built-in audio processing — all in a compact, durable form factor.
