Rode NT1 Signature Series Red Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone Recording Bundle with Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Gen USB-C Audio Interface, On-Stage MS7701B Euro Boom Tripod Stand, and 6-Meter Color-Matched Red XLR Cable

Rode NT1 Signature Red Recording Bundle: The Visually Distinctive Studio Rig

This bundle is built around the Rode NT1 Signature Series in Red — the same studio-grade condenser microphone as the rest of the Signature line, finished in a glossy red coat that stands out on camera. Around it, the bundle adds the Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Gen USB-C audio interface for clean preamp gain and zero-driver Mac and Windows operation, the On-Stage MS7701B Euro boom tripod stand for a rock-solid mic platform, and a second 6-meter color-matched red XLR cable for booth-to-rack or stand-to-desk runs beyond the cable already in the NT1's retail box. One purchase, full vocal recording chain, visually unified end to end.

NT1 Signature: 4 dBA Self-Noise Floor and 142 dB SPL

The NT1 Signature inherits the HF6 1-inch true condenser capsule from Rode's Lyrebird lineage — the latest refinement of the NT1 family that began with the original NT1 in 1991. Self-noise is 4 dBA, which makes the Signature functionally inaudible underneath any source — quiet enough for whispered ASMR work, voice-over breath capture, and intimate vocal takes. At the high end, max SPL handling is 142 dB, which gives the mic enough headroom for screamed vocals, brass, electric guitar cabs, and acoustic drums. Cardioid pattern, transformerless balanced output, gold-plated XLR — pro studio specs delivered in a microphone that arrives ready to track.

Built-In SM6 Shockmount and Integrated Pop Filter

The NT1 Signature ships with the SM6 shockmount and an integrated pop filter — accessories most condensers leave to the buyer. The SM6 mechanically decouples the capsule from desk thuds, footsteps, and HVAC vibration. The integrated pop filter sits in front of the capsule and scatters plosive air bursts from P, B, and T sounds before they reach the diaphragm. Two purchases off the shopping list on day one.

The Glossy Red Finish Makes the Studio Show Up on Camera

The NT1 Signature ships in seven colors. The Red finish is the one that streamers, video podcasters, and creators with on-camera home studios actually choose — it shows up cleanly under key lighting, doesn't blend into a dark backdrop, and ties together cleanly with red keyboard accents, RGB lighting, and themed studio aesthetics. The body is solid aluminum with a deep saturated glossy red finish, scratch-resistant for years of studio and travel use. The 6-meter XLR cable in the NT1's retail box ships color-matched in red.

Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Gen: 57 dB of Clean Preamp Gain

The Scarlett Solo 4th Gen is the cleanest single-input interface Focusrite has shipped — 57 dB of preamp gain on a combo XLR/TRS jack, -127 dBu equivalent input noise, 24-bit/192kHz conversion, and Air mode split into Presence (ISA-style top-end lift) and Harmonic Drive (transformer-style saturation) circuits. Dynamic Gain Halos around the gain knob shift green to red as the signal approaches clipping. The Solo bus-powers from a single USB-C connection, runs driverless on macOS and Windows, and ships with the Hitmaker Expansion software bundle (Ableton Live Lite, Auto-Tune Access, Antares preset packs, the Focusrite plug-in suite) free with the interface.

On-Stage MS7701B: The Tripod Stand the NT1 Belongs On

The MS7701B is the working tripod stand of the recording industry — On-Stage's best-selling Euro boom format. The 23-inch tripod base spread gives a heavy condenser like the NT1 Signature genuine stability, and the single-handed Euro-style steel midpoint clutch locks angle without re-tightening every adjustment. Height range is 36 inches at the lowest setting to 64 inches at the tallest, which covers seated tracking through standing performance. The 30-inch boom arm is removable, so the stand reverts to a straight floor stand for choir or instrument work.

Two 6-Meter Red XLR Cables: Long Runs Without Compromise

The NT1 Signature ships with one 6-meter color-matched red XLR cable in its retail box. This bundle adds a second one — same length, same red color match, same balanced 3-pin XLR construction. Why two? Most home studios need one cable for the primary mic-to-interface run and a second one as a backup, an extension for booth-to-rack distance, or a parallel run for a second mic on the same stand. Balanced XLR carries audio on opposite-polarity conductors plus a shield, with common-mode rejection cancelling hum, buzz, and RF interference across the full run.

How the Bundle Functions as a Complete Vocal Recording Rig

The NT1 Signature mounts in its included SM6 shockmount on the MS7701B's 5/8-inch top thread — the tripod base provides the stability a 4 dBA self-noise condenser needs to stay isolated from foot vibration. The integrated pop filter is positioned in front of the capsule for plosive control on close vocal work. The 6-meter color-matched XLR cable carries the balanced signal to the Scarlett Solo's combo XLR/TRS input. The Solo's 57 dB of preamp gain brings the NT1's output to comfortable tracking level with room to spare; Air-mode Presence or Harmonic Drive adds transformer-style top-end lift as needed. The Solo's USB-C bus-powered connection carries the audio to a DAW on Mac or Windows. The second 6m red XLR is in the box for backup or extension. Single signal chain, four boxes consolidated into one purchase.

For the Streamer Who Wants the Studio to Look as Good as It Sounds

First-time XLR buyers replacing a USB microphone get the full upgrade in one box: a real condenser, a real interface, a real stand, plus a spare cable. Streamers and video podcasters get the glossy red finish that shows up on camera. Vocalists tracking at home get the 4 dBA self-noise floor and the Air-mode preamp. Comparison shoppers get hard numbers — 4 dBA, 142 dB max SPL, 57 dB preamp gain, -127 dBu EIN, 6m balanced XLR — and a single bundled price. The NT1 in Red, the matching XLR cable, the black Scarlett Solo, the black MS7701B — a clean two-tone aesthetic for the visual studio.
