RØDE - NT-USB Mini

I have the Rode NT Mini USB mic. Works well and plugs straight in as an interface. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/NTUSBMini--rode-nt-usb-mini-usb-condenser-microphone?mrkgadid=&mrkgcl=28&mrkgen=&mrkgbflag=&mrkgcat=&acctid=21700000001645388&dskeywordid=92700080605831475&lid=92700080605831475&ds_s_kwgid=58700008755805609&ds_s_inventory_feed_id=97700000007215323&dsproductgroupid=2337469666535&product_id=NTUSBMini&prodctry=US&prodlang=en&channel=online&storeid=&device=m&network=g&matchtype=&adpos=largenumber&locationid=1026836&creative=708892062224&targetid=aud-297527862170:pla-2337469666535&campaignid=21573890532&awsearchcpc=1&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21573890532&gbraid=0AAAAAD_RQYnwnS3lPzdXb82EtaEWkXJGz&gclid=CjwKCAjw4K3DBhBqEiwAYtG_9Ac96iwo1YyMR2jWHk0CpUq_kQuTlvrRVcbUjPNjnZslL8Smeu-5DxoCAWsQAvD_BwE

I don't think it was mentioned yet but the Rode USB and USB+ are most likely some of the highest-quality USB mics (as of my time of buying) before you need to transition into professional AUX mics. Been using my Rode USB for about 4ish years now and never had an issue, simply plug in and go. They do have some newer offering now though so they may be better by todays standards.

I do use a rode caster duo with a podmic. Also I got rode nt-usb and the nt-mini.

If you’re on a tight budget and plan to use an interface, there’s no point in opting for USB mics. or consider a Rode USB microphone and take advantage of the Rode Connect software.
