The NT-USB is powered by your device’s USB port, meaning that in most cases, you can just plug the microphone in and get started right away. You might need a powered USB hub for non-standard USB ports. So just purchase a USB PC data cable cord if one wasn’t provided with the microphone, and you should be set. If you decide to go for the Rode NT-USB mini, a USB-C to USB-A cable should be supplied with the microphone to connect it to your computer. If your device has a USB-C input, use a USB-C to USB-C cable instead. This is also compatible with the iPad Pro, which has a USB-C port.
