The Future of Immersive Sound
The RØDE SoundField NT-SF1 is a groundbreaking ambisonic microphone that brings high-end 360-degree audio capture to a broader range of creators. Born from the collaboration between RØDE and the ambisonic pioneers at SoundField, this microphone is the definitive tool for recordists working in Virtual Reality (VR), immersive film production, and spatial audio for video games. It allows you to capture the entire acoustic environment from a single point, which can then be "steered" or re-oriented during the mixing process.
Precision Craftsmanship for Spatial Accuracy
Spatial audio relies on absolute consistency between capsules. The NT-SF1 utilizes the TF-45C capsule, which is manufactured with sub-micron precision to ensure that all four channels are perfectly matched. This results in a highly accurate B-Format output where the spatial imaging remains sharp across the entire 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency spectrum, avoiding the "smearing" often found in lower-tier surround microphones.
Advanced Post-Production Flexibility
The magic of the NT-SF1 continues in the studio with the SoundField by RØDE Plug-In. This software allows engineers to change the microphone’s polar patterns in post-production—essentially creating virtual shotgun or omnidirectional mics after the recording is finished. It supports all major surround formats, from standard 5.1 and 7.1 to the height-enabled 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos® arrays, providing unparalleled flexibility for modern sound design.
The Professional Standard for Regional VR and Film
A vital asset for specialized production houses and immersive content creators across Pakistan, the UAE, and Africa, the RØDE NT-SF1 is prized for its ability to deliver world-class spatial audio in a rugged, manageable form factor. Its heavy-duty brass body and high-quality accessories, including the spherical windscreen and furry cover, make it a reliable choice for regional field recordists. For those in the region seeking a broadcast-standard ambisonic microphone to lead the way in 3D storytelling, the NT-SF1 is the ultimate choice.
