The Rode NT1-A is another entry into the ever-growing field of affordable large-diaphragm condenser mics. It lists for $349, but I found $199 to be the common street price on the internet [Editor's note – scroll down to see all current online sale prices for the NT1-A].

Rode NT 1
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...

The Rode Nt1a Large Conderser Microphone
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.

Great over all mic for the price
This mic was the first mic I ever bought. 6 years later I still turn to this mic to give me the sound I'm looking for. Don't be fooled by the price tag. This mic is the quietest mic on the market and will provide you with exceptional quality.

Get Creative
I am using the mics for live theater. I know WHAT? But the specs make them work great, high gain before feedback and no noise (hum,hiss,ect) even being place right next to the high voltage light bars!

Rode NT1-A review
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.
Pros:
- Cardioid polar pattern
- Flat frequency response
- Premium all-metal build quality
- Low self-noise at just 5dB
- Decently priced
Cons:
- Sibilance issues mean you'll need a decent pop-filter
- Requires another device to provide phantom power
- Heavy due to all-metal body

Pros:

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...
