Record. Everything.

The NT-SF1 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.

he 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 our state of the art fabrication facilities. The result is a capsule with breathtaking clarity, sonic purity and exceptionally low noise.

The SoundField by RØDE Plugin processor

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