Officially the best mic in it's price range.

This mic from RODE is guaranteed not to disappoint you. It has a budget price but this doesn't affect the sound quality.
Pros:

  • low noise
Cons:
  • cheap accessories
  • no bells and whistles

Works like a charm

When I purchase the NT1-A I purchased the bundle and not just the microphone alone. It came with a shock mount, a pop filter, a 20 inch XLR cable and an instructional DVD.

Well made, good sounding, good value

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.

Excellent Quality for the Money!

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.

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...

i have had this mic for a couple of years and have used it to record pretty much everything; although its particularly good on vocals. the dynamics are sometimes a little wobbly, with big peaks appearing from nowhere. solid build. solid cradle.
