NT-SF1 Premium Ambisonic VR Microphone Kit

The NT-SF1 by RØDE Microphones is a revolutionary ambisonic microphone that captures high-quality 360° surround sound (including height) in A-Format™ on four separate tracks. This microphone is the result of a collaboration between SoundField, the original brand behind commercial ambisonic microphones, and RØDE Microphones. The NT-SF1 is crafted from solid brass and utilizes four RØDE TF-45C ½” true-condenser cardioid microphone capsules arranged in a tetrahedral array to capture the entire spherical sound field with precision.

The TF-45C capsules are machined to incredibly tight tolerances of less than 1 micron at RØDE’s Sydney headquarters, resulting in capsules that deliver exceptional clarity, sonic purity, and minimal noise. Whether it's for video games, sports broadcasts, feature films, or Virtual Reality (VR) content, the NT-SF1 is perfect for all types of surround sound recording. The recorded A-Format™ can easily be converted to B-Format™, providing flexibility for manipulation in post-production.

With the free SoundField by RØDE Plugin, users can control the mic directivity, position, and rotation, allowing for the creation of a full 7.1.4 surround mix or a fully head-tracked 360-degree soundscape for immersive video. The SBR Plugin supports standard surround-sound setups, including Dolby Atmos up to 7.1.4, and is compatible with Pro Tools, Cubase, Nuendo, Reaper, and Logic in VST, AU, or AAX formats, all designed for RØDE’s legendary ease of use.

The NT-SF1 comes in a complete kit, including a custom suspension shock mount, blimp-style windshield, and furry wind cover, all neatly packaged in a beautiful presentation box. This ambisonic condenser microphone with a tetrahedral array of four subcardioid capsules is truly a game-changer in the world of surround sound recording.
