Rode Microphone NT-SF1 Ambisonic Mic

Product Description

SoundField invented the ambisonic microphone, A-Format and B-Format audio, revolutionizing 3D audio production. RØDE revolutionized the microphone industry, using advanced manufacturing techniques to deliver broadcast-quality precision microphones at accessible prices. Now, for the first time, the magic of these two iconic brands has come together.

The Røde Microphone NT-SF1 Ambisonic Mic records the entire spherical sound field. Every sound, every direction, perfectly. This means that later, in post-production, you can manipulate the sound. Alter the mic directivity, position and rotation. Create a full 7.1.4 surround mix. Create a fully head-tracked 360-degree soundscape for immersive video. Whether recording opera, a swamp or a feature film, the NT-SF1 offers unparalleled quality and flexibility.

The TF-45C capsule

At the heart of the NT-SF1 is the brand-new TF-45C true condenser capsule. This completely new design breaks new ground in precision manufacturing. Created in-house at RØDE’s Sydney HQ, it is machined to tolerances of less than 1 micron in Røde's state of the art fabrication facilities. The result is a capsule with breathtaking clarity, sonic purity and exceptionally low noise.

The SoundField by RØDE Plug-in processor

The new NT-SF1 is perfectly matched to the new SoundField by RØDE plug-in ambisonic processor. The plug-in has been designed to offer the most accurate spatialization and sound reproduction when used with the NT-SF1.

Accessories

The NT-SF1 comes in a full kit, including custom suspension shock mount, blimp-style windshield and furry wind cover. It is all shipped in a beautiful presentation box.

Applications

The NT-SF1 is the perfect mic for a range of applications, from music recording through to capturing 3D soundscapes for VR applications. As productions increasingly require the use of surround or multi-channel spatial reproduction, the NT-SF1 should be part of every sound recordist’s arsenal.
