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

Product Information

In our tests, the JLab Audio Talk Go and Talk Pro microphones didn’t perform as well as their sibling, the Talk. This is achieved by sending the output of the microphone directly to the headphones in real-time, bypassing the computer. The Rode NT-USB Mini is a studio quality USB condenser microphone designed to deliver crystal-clear, pristine audio quality direct to a computer or tablet. This microphone was designed especially for the professional Court reporter and works with all Audio Sync programs. Over the past eight years, an ever-changing group of panelists in Wirecutter testing has consistently rated it the best or one of the best.

Many of those pricier options offer high-definition audio recording, but according to our experts and our tests, most people can’t tell the difference in the results.

Please Note: This is Isles within the United Kingdom only, it does NOT include islands such as the Republic of Ireland, Isle of Man, Jersey, Guernsey. Without this addition, you have to plug your headphones into your computer, and the resulting slight delay (due to the processing the analog-to-digital converter uses as it encodes your voice) can be infuriating if you are trying to match a beat or narrate over a video, or if you just don’t want to discover after your recording that all your P’s were popping.

But if, like me, you want it for singing it can be easily hand-held (although not obviously designed for this purpose) or fitted to a standard microphone stand with the adaptor as supplied. RØDE Connect is a simple and powerful software solution for podcasting and livestreaming with the NT-USB Mini.With its sensitive electret condenser, this handy mic provides great sound that far outstrips the quality of built-in mics. Once you have your replacement mouse skates in hand, it's now time to remove your old ones from the base of the mouse. The new model we tested is nearly identical to the one we loved the last time we updated this guide (shown in the photo above), except it now has important features that were previously missing, namely a headphone jack, headphone volume control, and gain control. The set up was fairly easy, although I did have a small issue with my laptop locking in the settings I was assigning to my input/output.
