“Works” means the maker lists that platform for the connection shown; “Maker doesn't say” means it doesn't mention it either way. On a headset, it also depends on the edition you pick.

Choose it if…

  • You want a direct USB computer input without a separate audio interface.
  • You want to hear your own voice through headphones while you play.
  • You will use the supplied physical configuration or verify the mount before adding an arm.

Before choosing this model

  • Place it close to your mouth before reaching for noise processing.
  • It's USB only: pick another mic if you need XLR for a mixer.
  • A USB plug doesn't mean it works on a console: check which platforms its maker lists on this page.
  • Check the stand, thread and desk position before ordering a mount. Include attached shock mounts and adapters in the total weight. Arms rated for this mic →
  • Use the cable in the box; you only need an adapter if your computer lacks that port.

Questions about the RØDE NT-USB+

Does the RØDE NT-USB+ need an audio interface?

No. It is a USB mic: one cable to the computer, no interface or mixer.

Can I hear myself through the RØDE NT-USB+?

Yes: plug headphones into it and you hear your own voice with no computer delay.

Does the RØDE NT-USB+ work on PS5?

RØDE doesn't say. The PS5 takes many USB mics, but we only mark a model as working when its maker states it.

Set it up for game chat.

  1. Connect the parts shown in the diagram. If you use XLR, connect the microphone to the interface before selecting it in your app.

  2. Choose the intended input in the operating system. Run the Discord input check or use your console’s microphone test.

  3. Check speaking level and mute with headphones on. Change only one gain, sensitivity or suppression control between tests.
