Better than more expensive mikes

Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2022

Model name: NT-USB MiniColor: BlackVerified Purchase

I do a weekly podcast, and I've struggled with getting a microphone that sounds good and does not get in my way when I'm trying to read what's on my screen. I also don't want something that's ultra-fussy.

I originally bought this to use when I'm traveling. It's small and easy to set up. But aI haven't been doing as much travel in the past six months as I expected to.

At home, after months of frustration with other mikes, some of them nearly three times as expensive, I set this up on my desktop. I must say I'm very pleased.

The base is heavy and sturdy, holding the mike in place with a strong magnet. I don't need a separate pop filter, and this is easy to connect to my Mac with a USB C cable. I worried that because it's pretty low on the desktop, it would be too far away. But it picks up my voice just fine.

I record in a quiet environment, so I can't comment on how well it filters out unwanted noise.

In short, I can't think of anything to criticize about this compact, good-looking and relatively inexpensive microphone.

A tiny tank built for performance and quality

Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2021

Model name: NT-USB MiniColor: BlackVerified Purchase

The first thing that comes to mind when handling this microphone is its weight. This little guy is deceptively heavy. That's due to its all metal framework. I'll never try it, but it really does feel like that if I tossed the mic across the room it wouldn't receive even a tiny scratch. Really impressive build quality for the price.

For just $100 I wasn't expecting very much in the way of sound quality but I can say that it makes my friends, all of which own Blue products and other overpriced microphones, quite jealous. The way this mic handles plosives is great. A built in pop filter adds some serious value to an already excellently valued product. The sound is also crystal clear. What you hear through audio monitoring is also what the mic output sounds like. No dips or hiccups when it comes to output.

The one complaint I do have about the overall package is its desk stand. While the desk stand is somehow ALSO tanky as hell, along with bearing a magnetic mount, It's always better to invest in a microphone arm. There are plenty of cheap ones on amazon, but given the fact that this microphone is EXTREMELY sensitive, I recommend buying a quality microphone arm with some sort of shock mount or pad to dampen vibration as the desk moves.

Also buyer beware: This microphone has only one polar pattern and lacks the multiple polar patterns that more expensive microphones have. That being said, this microphone was designed specifically for casual use, but delivers the cardioid polar pattern just as good as competing brands. If this is a deal breaker for you, I apologize.

Otherwise, the RODE NT USB MINI is a fantastic low cost, highest quality option for people in the market for such a thing. Whether it be for studio recording, streaming, or just sweaty gaming. This little monster does it all better than the rest.

One of the best small USB Mics you can buy

Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2021

Model name: NT-USB MiniColor: BlackVerified Purchase

Overall this a great little mic if you need some small for voice.
Pros:
Small size
High quality nylon and aluminum construction
Simple magnetic base
Strong headphone amplifier built in, able to drive many headphones, including those with higher impedance like the MDR V6 at 53ohms
Compact and portable
Solid USB C connection with a quality, adequate length included cable

Cons:
Limited to 96khz. People debate this, but 192khz does often sound a bit better to me, though it's not necessary.
Somewhat high noise floor - the mic can sound a bit sizzly
Included stand is very low, and easily picks up background noise. Depending on your use case you'll almost definitely need to pick up a separate stand that brings the mic within 6 inches of your mouth to take advantage of the proximity effect. You can get an aftermarket stand for not too much money, but frankly I'm not sure why they included such a short stand.
Depending on your voice timbre, it can sound somewhat flat and 'robotlike'. This is more a personal problem for since I have a very monotone voice. Different mics can make it sound better.
Overall, for the money you really can't go wrong. It's far better than any included headset mic, the headphone amp is very good, and it also sounds pretty decent for acoustic guitar.

I've been using this mic for 4 years for work Zoom calls, Youtube videos, podcasts, everything. It makes my voice clear and perfect. I don't leave reviews often but this mic is worth every penny. It was $99 when I bought it in 2020 and it's still $99. Can't imagine that there's a better value mic out there.

Impressive little mic

Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2022

Model name: NT-USB MiniColor: BlackVerified Purchase

Out of the box, I was impressed with the "density" of the Rode mini. It's small but quite heavy for it's size. I was also surprised by the magnetic mount to the base. Very strong. I only used it a bit since I just got it, but the mic's built in pop suppressor is quite effective. No explosive P's and B's.

The sound quality is quite good and you can affect the tone by speaking closer or further away, getting more bass with proximity. Lastly, the lag-free headphone monitor is terrific. This is the first USB mic I've used that does not require you to adjust sound settings in your computer to monitor yourself. It's like there's a tiny monitor amp in the mic itself, and one that is capable of decent volume if needed. But you still get audio playback from the computer when you need that too.

I already own way too many microphones. I work in audio and they are a bit of an addiction for me. But the Rode mini was recommended to me by a radio station manager who had to issue mics to her staff during COVID lockdown so her deejays could work from home. I can see why now.

Vi reseñas donde se podía usar con el smartphone usando otg o directo con cable usb c a usb c,pero no logré hacer que funcionara con la camara principal del celular.
Obvio en su área el microfono cumple muy bien, conectado a la Mac funciona perfecto.
Hice pruebas de audio en todas las formas posibles y el micrófono cumple muy bien, su calidad es un standard.
La calidad de los materiales no tiene duda, es pesado aun sin la base que es magnetica, aunque el sistema se me haria viable si asi como es magnetico para el soporte que viene incluido, se pudiera montar en un brazo para microfono sin tener que quitarle la goma que viene en el microfono, creo que el iman solo esta en la base redonda que esta incluida.

Entrega a qualidade que promete!

Reviewed in Brazil on July 14, 2022

Model name: NT-USB MiniColor: BlackVerified Purchase

O microfone realmente cumpre o que promete, tendo um bom alcance cardioide, posso coloca-lo contra uma fonte de ruído que deixa muito fácil a remoção deste nos softwares de edição de áudio (Uso o Adobe Audition para a pós produção).
Não tive problemas de compatibilidade com nenhum software e sistema operacional, não ocupa espaço físico, muito bom de equalizar na pós produção e aprimorar frequências tanto graves como médio graves e até mesmo agudos.
O retorno da voz é excelente também, muito fácil de ser configurado e ideal para ajuste de posição seja do microfone quanto minha (locutor).
Recomendo!

I love the Rode NT USB microphone.
These microphones are essential for my work and the Rode mini ticks all the boxes.
Only downside with this particular purchase was understanding where to find the tracking information. The order was supposed to take less than 48 hours and eventually took a week.

Reviewed in Germany on January 2, 2024

Model name: NT-USB MiniColor: BlackVerified Purchase

Das RØDE NT-USB Mini Mikrofon ist in meinem Home Office zum ständigen Begleiter geworden, vor allem wegen seiner kompakten Größe und hervorragenden Audioqualität. Es nimmt den Klang klar und deutlich auf, was es perfekt für professionelle Anwendungen wie Videoanrufe oder Sprachaufnahmen macht. Die Fähigkeit, Umgebungsgeräusche zu reduzieren, ist ein weiterer großer Pluspunkt.

Die einfache Plug-and-Play-Installation macht das Mikrofon extrem benutzerfreundlich. Es war ein Leichtes, es direkt aus der Verpackung heraus in Betrieb zu nehmen, ohne sich mit komplizierten Einstellungen herumschlagen zu müssen.

Ein Nachteil, den ich jedoch festgestellt habe, ist das Fehlen eines Mute-Knopfes. In einem Home-Office-Szenario, wo man häufig schnell das Mikrofon stummschalten muss, wäre dies eine sehr nützliche Funktion. Ohne einen dedizierten Mute-Knopf am Mikrofon selbst muss ich mich auf Software-Lösungen verlassen oder das Mikrofon manuell im Betriebssystem oder der Anwendung stumm schalten, was nicht immer ideal ist.

Insgesamt ist das RØDE NT-USB Mini ein solides Mikrofon mit exzellenter Audioqualität, das sich ideal für verschiedene Anwendungen eignet. Wenn man über das Fehlen eines Mute-Knopfes hinwegsehen kann, ist es eine hervorragende Wahl für jedermann, der ein zuverlässiges, qualitativ hochwertiges Mikrofon sucht.
