The performance of this microphone has much more to do with the fact that it uses four preamps and four ADCs in parallel and then switches between them for the final output, rather than the fact that the final output happens to be in 32-bit floating point.

This. 32bit float is just a convenience, but a technically very useful one. You never exceed a nose floor that will ( with proper gain ) exceed 24 bits. A f32 mantissa has 23 bits and the exponent 8, you can have perfect gain with each of the 4 preamp / adc stages and pack them neatly with a well balanced decision rule (probably just based on rms and peak). Depending on the implementation you could also stack the most significant bits of each ADC and gain them just right for that. Probably somewhere in between. If you just recorded 4 separate takes, you could build a vector of 4 times 24 bit but that would be just wasteful and needs further processing. Neatly packing the data into 32f words is the way to go for ease of use and compatibility. You will not gain the theoretical maximum dynamic range of 32f but you don't need that since that much SPL will kill you anyway.

The final output being in 32-bit float is a bit more than happenstance, at least from what I can tell. Like, yes, the majority of the performance is due to the 4 parallel preamps and ADCs, but as I see it there's really only 3 ways to deliver that performance to the computer. Option #1 is to output a standard 24-bit signal and switch between ADCs according to some switching logic. In that case, the quiet bits of your talking come through louder and the loud bits of your talking come through quieter, but just imagine what would happen to your signal when the noise is hovering right near one of the switching thresholds. Either there be some sort of switching delay to prevent overly rapid switching which would allow you to still clip the mic, or your output stream could end up basically vibrating and leaving the mixer with a hellish repair job smoothing the levels as the mic has a spasmatic attack trying to figure out which ADC gets sent to your computer each moment. Option #2 is to output 4 parallel 24-bit signals; one for each ADC, and then rely on the recording engineer to set 4 parallel recording tracks and cut splice the 4 tracks as they choose. Not much technical issues with this option, but it does greatly reduce the convenience factor. And Option #3 is a 32-bit float signal.

32-bit float is the endgame. Nobody will ever need anything more. This goes well beyond the limits of human hearing with over 1,500 decibels of dynamic range; the loudest recorded event on Earth I think was around 1,200 decibels (a volcano erupting). About the only time we'll need more than that is if a nuke dropped and we wanted to record the explosion, but being dead doesn't really grant us the "pleasure" of hearing it in all its dark glory if ever technology managed, say, 64-bit float.

When you said "(...) it's a bit like RAW-shooting on a camera(...)" I got it and thanked God. But then when I heard the examples, I thought it was divine! Delicious. Thanks!

The NT1-A does not have the internal ADC circuitry. It can clip if the input exceeds 137dB, or if gain on your mic preamp is up too high. It’s a good idea to leave 18~12dB headroom on your mic pre. That still gives a 21-22bit resolution from a 24bit ADC, which is much higher than the human hearing-safe dynamic range. Record to 32-bit float files if possible. It offers some advantages down the line, but can't fix a file that has clipped at the mic, the mic pre, or ADC. The NT1 5th gen has an SPL of 142dB, and the NT1-A is 137dB. Either mic can clip if the input exceeds those levels.

Nice to see you using Reaper there for the demo. When I took a look at my project settings, I noticed that the default was 64-Bit float. Is this a case of Reaper going all the way up to 11, or is this a newer DAW-wide variant of 32-Bit float?

@ChaitanyaBhagwatChai

Жыл бұрын

reaper internally uses 64 bit floating point values for all its processing, up to the master output. all the clipping info when some tracks are marked red are only for information purpose, to indicate where according to the project settings (24bit or 16 bit) the audio WOULD have been clipping; no audio is actually being degraded. Reaper is not the only Daw that does this, though it was certainly a modern feature when they implemented it. The point here though is, that the PROCESSING is done in 64bit, but the files being processed are still recorded at whatever your project settings were. In general, pro studios nowadays have a standard of 24 bit, which is more than capable of low noise recording, IF you set the gain levels for your microphones properly. The difference here is that Rode is demonstrating an incredible 32bit floating point at the RECORDING stage, not at mixing. with 32bit float recording, the range of loudness of mechanical sounds that you can record is exponentially larger, so sounds as quiet as a whisper or as loud as a shout can still be recorded without setting a gain. The 'gain' refers to the output level of a 'preamp', that boosts microphone signal. I believe what Rode is demonstrating here is that the mic, when connected via USB might as well have a 'fixed gain' level, that registers the incredible range of loudness, and afterwards you can adjust the file loudness to match what ideal gain would have been like in a conventional process

Depending on the proximity between the hosts, we would probably suggest a dynamic microphone such as the Procaster is a better option if it is a tighter setup, as condenser mics are more sensitive and will pick up background noise (including other hosts) more easily.

... but we need that in our multi-input interfaces (such as the Steinberg UR 824) - unfortunately it is very difficult to add a single USB input to a setup like this in Cubase.

No it’s not. Just use Source Connect Nexus. This allows for virtual in and outs to be routed in and out your DAW through their plugin. But, you can also select any other sound source or destination that is present in your system. So also a USB sound source. This way it’s very easy to insert a USB audio source into any DAW, including Cubase.

That's great. Can you have a video to cover how multichannel is connected up or interfaced together. Would that only be compatible to Rode software? Is there a directX (PC) component so stereo (or more) could be widely used in real-time for various applications.

Very impressive and might very well make life easier for mix engineers with clients who just can’t seem to wrap their head around gain staging correctly. Bravo! Also impressed with the inclusion of onboard DSP for compression. All that said, I really think there should be a mic + interface option or, alternatively, the ability to plug a pair of headphones into the mic itself and have the mic itself act as a full if not full featured interface (I think Apogee has a sort of entry level product that does this, but correct me if I’m wrong). I think the same target audience that finds dealing with proper gain staging to be too much of a complication is likely to find the need to make an aggregate device just as much of a headache and with that aggregate device comes the potential for clocking complications, which will further complicate the workflow for the very people this is aimed at. My suggestion is to complete the product by having both A to D and D To A for the internal interface and throw a headphone jack on it. I think generally the crowd this is aimed at would love something extremely simple where they can track with just the mic, some headphones and the computer with the only computer GUI they have to deal with being the Rode software and the DAW. This comes so close to removing one of the biggest hurdles for self recording artists but I think having only a partial audio interface integrated into the mic itself stops short of where this product needs to be.

@ChaitanyaBhagwatChai

i think 'gain' as we know it is obsolete in 32bit float recording. more likely the 'gain' for this mic is a fixed value, ,giving you the range of 4db(though that's the noise floor) to 130 db( video states this to be the max spl) and always having an ideal flat response. Rather, preamps may still be useful to add color, such as from a focusrite ISA or some API or neve colouring. But this can be done with the signals after they have already been recorded, as opposed to being baked in like in current workflows Edit: I think the most immediate benefit of this tech is for podcasting and live interviews, since it can be *very* unpredictable how loud your levels are going to be, particularly with guests that don't have mic technique, or when you need to leave the studio and go to an event. In those settings, the more db range you have, the better. you can always boost the low levels, but fixing clipping is very very hard and usually not very transparent (even using software like izotope RX). 32bit float is ALL the range you could ever want. But in a studio, you have more control over the levels that are coming into your mic and preamps.

Whatever sound hits the diaphragm of the mic capsule will be recorded. Whatever analog system noise exists before the AD converters will also be recorded. This is not a noise reduction system.

What about the audio interface? If it cannot process in 32bit float then surely that's a big problem since whatever bitrate it is set to will have a very significantly lower dynamic range than 32bit float? Once inside the computer, of course, further FX etc processing can take advantage of a 32bit float setting if the project has been set to 32bit float. However, that's after the effect - the original recording going through the interface does not have the dynamics of 32bit float, unless I'm seeing this wrong?

This is nice to know

what model/device from Rode that offering 32bit audio instead of this new model?
