Our take on the RØDE NT-USB

The RØDE NT-USB is a USB condenser microphone with a metal body, for streamers who want studio style pickup with a simple connection. It comes with a tripod base and a carrying case.

A mic stand mount is included, so you can move it from the tripod base to a stand or arm. Noise reduction is listed as a feature, and the listing names laptops, tablets and audio interfaces as compatible. Retailers rate it 4.7 across 12,693 ratings. On a desk it plugs straight into a PC, so OBS sees it as a standard audio device.

Pros
  • USB condenser with a studio style capsule
  • Tripod base, stand mount and case included
  • Works with laptops and tablets
Cons
  • USB only, so no XLR upgrade path
  • Tripod base needs an arm to clear your desk
