The NT-SF1 combines the superior quality of RØDE microphones with the expertise of SoundField - a pioneer in ambient capture acquired by The Freedman Group through an acquisition in late 2016. With four all-new TF45C capsules in a tetrahedral array, the NT-SF1 produces natural and transparent recording on four separate tracks.

The aforementioned new TF45C capsules boast extremely low noise with incredible sound clarity and extended frequency range. The ambisonic layout is derived directly from cutting-edge SoundField technology, ensuring the most accurate spatial arrangement for 3D sound recording.

The NT-SF1 is the perfect microphone for a variety of applications. Whether you are creating surround sound for video games, sports broadcasts, feature films or virtual reality (VR) content, the NT-SF1 is the ideal tool for recording surround sound because it records in A-Format™ with easy conversion to B-Format™ with the ability to spatially manipulate in any direction in post-production.

With RØDE's SoundField (free download), you become the architect of the soundstage, so you can change microphone direction, position and rotation to easily create a full 7.1.4 surround mix with 360° sound depth for full-motion video. Whether you're recording opera, swamp sounds or a feature film, the NT-SF1 offers unparalleled quality and flexibility.

The SBR Plugin includes all standard surround sound setups including Dolby Atmos up to 7.1.4 and is supported by worldwide software standards such as ProTools, Q-base, Nuendo, Reaper and Logic in VST, AU or AAX formats.
