Rode is legendary for its microphone . They are considered to be top of the line. But say you're like me, an upcoming artist on a budget. You want a microphone that competes with commercial studio quality. The nt1a from Rode is the mic for you. It only cost 200 dollars. The quality is superb.

The Rode NT1-A is still a best seller for a reason. If you're looking for a good condenser mic to record vocals, this is a good choice whether you're upgrading to your first XLR microphone or replacing an old one in your studio.

Cardioid polar pattern; Flat frequency response; Premium all-metal build quality; Low self-noise at just 5dB; Decently priced

Sibilance issues mean you'll need a decent pop-filter; Requires another device to provide phantom power; Heavy due to all-metal body

I'd been in the market for a decent large diaphram condenser for quite awhile, but like most people, there wasn't room in my budget for something like a U87. I was holding out for one I knew would sound great on female vocals, and with budget mics especially, that's hard to come by.

The Rode NT1A is a large diaphragm condenser microphone which was designed and made in Australia. The original Rode NT1 was released in 1991. The company released the NT1A model in 2003, and have continued to manufacture it since. The NT1A looks fairly similar to the original NT1, although [...]

Highs can be harsh Included pop filter is low quality

I am using it to do voiceovers. Like everything about it. It was bundled with the Auray system. I did not quite know what I was getting and it turned out perfectly for my very live room that needed the shielding. Great bundle.

I bought this for my son for Christmas, for several reasons. Main one being, he uses Cubase for his and my projects, and the p4 is geared so excellently to Cubase. Also, my son had done a lot of research via videos, reviews and the Nektar site to get a good understanding of the p4 before making his...

The best mic ever

Comes with everything in the box to get started; Sounds incredibly great and I can't believe Newegg would sell it this cheap; What you get in the box: The mic (of course), A sac to put the mic in, an I love rode microphones sticker, A dvd, pop filter, shockmount, Xlr cable and a 10 year warranty

Rode's original NT1 was released around 16 years ago, followed by the NT1A a few years later. Now the company has gone back to the old name with a just-released new NT1 model that looks very similar to the NT1A but has actually been completely redesigned from the ground up, the only component in...

One of the best mics you can get in this price range. Great sound.

Pros; Clear Sound; Easy To Use

I like the ease of use. I appreciate the excellent and faithful reproduction it produces...It records like a dream and, if placed properly can capture exactly what you want...It's well built but I wouldn't recommend tossing it down a flight of stairs...
