Luxurious Alcantara® cushions with our revolutionary CoolTech™ gel ensure maximum comfort, particularly for long-format content creation, and the fully adjustable headband with our innovative FitLok™ locking system provides the perfect fit every time. Your search for the perfect headphones is over.

Audio as it's Meant to Be Heard
The NTH-100s are meticulously crafted to deliver exceptional sonic performance for critical listening, from monitoring to mixing to mastering. Featuring custom-matched dynamic drivers that have been painstakingly tuned for an incredibly accurate frequency response and extremely low distortion, they are remarkably natural-sounding headphones. These qualities are further enhanced by the unique contoured earcup construction, which is optimised to ensure exceptional detail and clarity, and memory foam cushions for excellent passive noise isolation. They are precision-crafted to retain every detail and every nuance of sound they produce. In other words, audio as it’s meant to be heard.

Incredible Accuracy, Exceptional Clarity
The NTH-100 drivers feature a custom voice coil with a four-layer ultra-high-tension aluminium alloy at its core, which is coupled to an ultra-stiff triple-layer Mylar® diaphragm. Combined with a rare-earth neodymium magnet and innovative phase plug inspired by the award-winning NTG5 microphone, these high-grade components ensure an accurate frequency and phase response across the whole audible spectrum for an incredibly articulate listening experience.

The Most Comfortable Headphones Ever. Period.
When it comes to creating, comfort is everything, and the NTH-100s promise comfort like nothing else. The luxurious Alcantara® earcup and headband cushions offer a premium feel that enhances the sensory experience from the moment they are put on – supremely soft and highly breathable. Underneath the Alcantara is a layer of our revolutionary CoolTech™ gel, which absorbs and dissipates heat, actively cooling your head and ears to significantly reduce wearing fatigue. The unique ergonomic design of the earcups is also extremely comfortable, with bi-directional movement and memory foam providing a custom-fit feel for any head size or shape (even if you wear glasses), and the fully adjustable headband with our innovative FitLok™ locking system ensures they feel exactly the same every time you put them on.

Style in a Class of its Own
The perfect marriage of classic aesthetics and cutting-edge industrial design, the NTH-100s are instantly iconic. With clean lines and sleek, high-grade finishes, including the unique ergonomic earcup design and premium Alcantara® cushions, they look as good as they feel. Customise the NTH-100s to suit your style, with high-quality cables available in four vibrant colours: pink, green, blue and orange (matched to the channels of the RØDECaster Pro and RØDE Connect). Available in 1.2m (3′11″) and 2.4m (7′10″) variants.

Built For Creative Endurance
The NTH-100s are built to withstand the rigours of creating day in, day out. Every component is designed to endure, from the high-strength spring steel headband with its scratch-resistant coating to the highly durable Alcantara® cushions to the locking cable connectors. The cushions and cable are also user replaceable. This modular design ensures maximum longevity, even with vigorous daily use. Every pair is designed and made in RØDE’s precision facilities in Sydney, Australia using high-grade materials, so you can take on any creative endeavour knowing they’ll be with you for the long-haul.

Revolutionary Acoustic Design
The VideoMic NTG features the same annular line tube technology as the NTG5, which employs acoustic perforations along the length of the microphone in place of the linear slots found in other shotguns and on-camera microphones. This revolutionary acoustic design delivers unmatched transparency, and a natural, uncoloured sound. Add to this an incredibly flat frequency response, highly directional supercardioid polar pattern, and very low self-noise, and what you have is a compact on-camera microphone that contends with the world’s best shotgun mics.

The Most Feature-Packed VideoMic Ever
As well as sounding outstanding, the VideoMic NTG is extremely flexible, with an array of tools and features to help you take on any recording situation. Digital switching gives you access to a high-pass filter (at 75Hz or 150Hz), a high frequency boost for enhancing clarity and detail, a switchable pad (with a -20dB cut), and safety channel, which records a separate channel at -20dB in case the main recording clips – an absolute lifesaver.
The VideoMic NTG has a few new tricks up its sleeve too, including a unique infinitely variable gain control that allows you to precisely tailor the output as you need, and an auto-sensing 3.5mm output that detects what device you are connected to (camera or mobile) and switches to accommodate – no more messing around with TRS/TRRS adaptor cables! There is also a handy dB peak warning light, so you can always ensure your audio isn’t clipping.
The VideoMic NTG runs off an internal rechargeable lithium-ion battery that provides 30+ hours of recording – more than enough for the most demanding shoots. This is charged via USB-C (empty to full in 2 hours), meaning continuous recording is also possible with a power pack.

Unmatched Versatility
The VideoMic NTG is so much more than just an on-camera mic. As well as pairing perfectly with DSLRs, compact cameras, and smartphones – either on-camera, as a boom mic, or on a pistol grip – the VideoMic NTG is also a fully-featured USB microphone that can be plugged into a computer, tablet, or smartphone, perfect for recording voiceovers, podcasts, gaming or livestreaming. On top of this, the 3.5mm jack doubles as a headphone output for seamless monitoring of audio while using the USB output. This is adjusted by the variable gain control, which can deliver everything from mic to line to headphone level.

Single-channel Audio Interface
The AI-1 is a professional-grade single-channel audio interface that delivers exceptional audio quality for everything from bedroom music recording to livestreaming and podcasting. Featuring a studio-grade preamp, a high-quality Neutrik™ combo jack for connecting microphones or instruments, and a high-power headphone amplifier for crystal-clear audio monitoring and playback, it’s the perfect interface for recording studio-quality audio at home.

Studio-quality Sound With Ease
With a single input and streamlined controls, the AI-1 is incredibly simple to use – just connect it to your computer, plug in your microphone or instrument, and hit record. Under the hood, the AI-1 packs plenty of punch, including an ultra-low-noise, high-gain studio-grade preamp for recording pristine audio, balanced ¼-inch outputs for connecting your favourite speakers, and a high-power headphone amplifier capable of driving professional high-impedance models for flawless monitoring.

Get Connected and Create
The AI-1 features a high-quality Neutrik combo jack for connecting both XLR and ¼-inch cables, so you can plug in your microphone, guitar, bass, or synthesiser with ease. Switchable phantom power ensures any microphone is accommodated, while the simple indicator LED allows you to monitor your input level for crystal-clear audio every time. Every AI-1 also comes with a free version of Ableton Lite, so you can get recording right away. Whether you’re livestreaming or making multi-layered music, the AI-1 will capture your sonic vision in every detail.

RØDE Central is an easy-to-use companion app for the AI-1 (and other RØDE devices) that allows you to access device information and update to the latest firmware.
