Repairing the USB connector on a Rode NT USB microphone I got "as is" off eBay for relatively cheap. Turned out to be an easy fix and a decent microphone!
Get a Røde NT USB from Amazon (affiliate links = you pay no more, I get some money if you buy):
US: amzn.to/2X9SQzT
UK: amzn.to/2RvNEQB
DE: amzn.to/2N8jog9
The connector is a USB type B female vertical. I got this one from Würth Elektronik (Part number is 61400413321): www.conrad.de/...

Thinking about how much stuff just gets thrown away, wasting all the good resources. And most of it would probably be relatively easily fixable, like this mike. You are doing ecological work here as well.

@jaycee1980 5 лет назад

It's terrible how much stuff gets chucked away for small faults... and in the UK, you cant even save stuff from the recycle center any more ! They wont let you take anything, and if you do it's classed as theft

@raggededge82 5 лет назад

Great quick repair. I imagine that most of your subscribers would agree it's much better to keep something working rather than throw it away. Keep it up! Also I saw your package on the 8 Bit Guy's newest video, hope everything is going well in Germoney :)

@markomadic9234 5 лет назад

Man, so happy for you! To be honest I had a pretty high opinion of Røde but seeing how that USB jack was designed, I have to say my opinion has changed slightly

@JanBeta 5 лет назад

Thanks! I don't think it's bad design really, there's a screw to hold the USB jack in place and I also like the modularity of it. No idea how the previous owner managed to break it actually.

@markomadic9234 5 лет назад

@@JanBeta maybe the previous owner did a lot of traveling? i.e. packing/unpacking equipment, plugging/unplugging for gigs etc. That jack would be a stress point for a careless user... It's more of a studio mic though, so not sure if that makes much sense! :D I feel it could have been slightly better design with the jack mounted normally on a PCB, but then having an angled pin header that couples with the main board, rather than the straight pins.

@markomadic9234 5 лет назад

Had 10 mins free to procrastinate! Essentially something like this: imgur.com/a/iYJjNxi Although rewatching your video now, the design is not THAT bad. They must have had additional challenges like the placement of the 3.5mm plug to think about as well.

@dennisp.2147 5 лет назад

There should at the least have been some potting material to relieve the stress from those 4 pins. I agree, poor design.

@officermeowmeowfuzzyface4408 5 лет назад

Stress locations, it helps to put something there to strengthen it. Such as hot glue. It won't strengthen the solder connections, but it will provide the whole backend with support to the board. Resists vibration and movement. And its easy to remove. When used on wires soldered to pads or terminals, the vibrations of daily use, time, transport etc are absorbed by the glue, which has some "give" and retention; and not allow the wire itself, at the solder point, to weaken. Instead of a fixed point where all the stress terminates (where it is soldered), the stress is distributed across the entry point to the glue, and seen in parallel along the remainder of the wire to the solder. Love those easy fixes. But then I don't learn anything. And I love learning, more than I love easy fixes.

I just completed this same exact repair using this video as a reference. It was totally successful. Thank you Jan!

@Noises 4 года назад

I've been using Rode mics for my whole career, 35 years in audio. When I saw they had a USB condenser mic, I was interested to find out if it was up to the same standard as their stage and studio mics. My biggest concern was how the Analogue/Digital converter would sound, since they used the same capsule as the NT 1A and I know that cap works perfectly. Well long story short I brought one and I'm very impressed with it. They've particularly well suited to deeper male voices because of the better frequency capture in low and low mid ranges. To get the best out of it for voice work, sit very close to the mic and talk across it, not directly into it, to make use of the proximity effect. It will get every nuance of your frequency range for pants moistening deep boomy man voices that drives the girls crazy and make subs shake desks. Good score, and thanks for the teardown (mine has scratchy volume pot, needs a clean.)

@wimwiddershins 5 лет назад

Strange how much effort goes into the acoustic design with how little went in to the USB jack.

@JanBeta 5 лет назад

I guess the acoustic side of things was done by another team. The USB jack design is fine in my opinion, no idea how the previous owner managed to break it that badly.

@raggededge82 5 лет назад

Items like the USB jack are bought in bulk off the shelf from the lowest bidder. There are pros and cons to using industry standard connections; obviously they can be much cheaper but that also means that you don't control the quality. Back in the days when everyone made their own proprietary connectors, this was less of an issue, but then you run into the issue of inter-compatibility and not being able to find adapters. The nice part is that even though the part was of lower quality, replacement parts are very easy to find and work with.

@Netaction 5 месяцев назад

@@raggededge82 The socket is fine. But the mounting is wrong. The socket has two lashes for mounting that are not used. It could have been glued or clamped in position. But the full force is on the pins that are not made to maintain the forces. This is a bad design from Rode.

This helped me. There was loose screw inside that i heard falling around in it. Was able to fasten it again!

@RobA500 5 лет назад

Seems to me there is a bit of a design flaw with that. The two metal lugs on the shield should act as a strain relief for the connector, as they are not used the strain is taken by the pins that flex slightly with constant plugging in and out the cable. Hence the connector eventually broke off.

@SaintKaede 5 лет назад

@janwiersma1449 5 лет назад

nice fix. Jan. but the last clip from about 16:50 is the only piece of audio cumming via the Rode, and it has quite some noice and reverb from the room your sitting in. to be honest, sell it for 100/120 euro's and keep your AKG goeing, it fits your type of filming much more. that one sounds so clean and direct, dont change that!!! this is more like a podcast thing you have to put your whole darn head into this thing. ;) this Rode is always in the way on your desk, and pretty directional. hey it even sounds like it is sampling at a low sample rate in AudioMaster. LOL. *** with other words, your audio was PERFECT as it was!!! thumbs-up.***

@Ikrananka 5 лет назад

I had to get a warranty replacement for my Røde NT USB microphone due to exactly the same failure. This really is a very poorly designed part of the mic - the USB connector should have been properly mounted to a PCB. I suspect this is a pretty common mode of failure for these mics. I used to remove the USB cable from the mic when not in use but now leave it in there and instead disconnect it at the computer. Hopefully, this will prolong the life of it. That said, I really didn't connect/disconnect from the mic that much so it didn't last anywhere near as long as it should have.

My Rode NT USB began to be detected in the Windows system as a USB PnP Sound Device. I reinstalled the USB drivers, I reinstalled Windows, I changed the cable, I connected it to another PC, but nothing helped. What could it be? The microphone works, but is recognized in the system as a USB PnP Sound Device. Although previously it was defined as Rode NT USB

@comicsgrinder 3 года назад

Let me ask you a question that I hope makes sense. When I attach this microphone, the NT-USB Mini to my Macbook Pro, nothing shows me that it is actually working! I compare it to the built-in mic in my Macbook Pro and the Macbook Pro works great! I've tried both back and forth and I can't tell any difference. I can't tell if it is even working. No light. Nothing. The Macbook Pro indicates it is on but that is it.

I remember having to use quite a lot of force initially (I had already opened it before when I shot the video). Maybe just try brute forcing it some more? I can’t imagine that they used glue or anything on these. It’s probably just very tightly screwed on.

@TehBarr3t 3 года назад

Hey Jan, I followed this video in order to fix the loose USB (bad contact) from my RODE-NT Usb, but the first time I assembled it on the opposite side, so the power was not enough to even light up the blue light on the mic. So then I soldered it the right way, and the microphone gets the power correctly(and the led light lights correctly). But my issue is now that my PC does not recognise the microphone. At times, when I plug it in really snugly it works and it starts installing the drivers on my pc, but it quickly disconnects. I have asked several places in my city, but nobody seems to know the solution. I wondered if you or anyone in the comments section would know what could I try/do since I don't have a warranty to send it to official RODE, and they might charge me more money than what I paid for this.

Use a better quality USB socket (like I have in the video), use leaded solder (which is a tiny bit more flexible and less likely to crack), put some strategic dabs of hot glue or non-conductive silicone glue around the connector. Not much else you can do, I guess. :)

The solder joints and the connector get a lot of physical stress this way. Poor design choice for sure. Although the mic itself is excellent.

This microphone for me was a disaster, bought it for 150 euros exactly in late 2022, and few months has passed only and that USB connector is broken, im talking on discord and it goes quiet, or completely disconnects... I opened it like how you opened it, and well, i did it before i watched your video, i was astonished, the build quality is barbaric, found stripped screws, (one of the four which hold the top part on) they just screwed it half way in because it stripped... and not gonna talk about the bad design of the USB connector.. This is just industrial trash.

Wow, that sounds like a very low standard of quality control. Mine was at least assembled properly (apart from the shoddy USB connector). :/ It’s a shame that they put so little effort into the construction. I’m still very happy with how the mic sounds though!

`USB Type B jacks suck ... I've yet have one that didn't get loose and loose connection ... and I've yet to replace the jack and get rid of the problem. It's just a lousy mechanical design.

I really like detailed repair videos but 18min for 4 solder joints is a little bit excessive...

@JanBeta 5 лет назад

You are probably right... The most difficult part was probably opening the thing up but it didn't take that long. Sorry if you feel you wasted your time on this!
