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.

  • very good sound
  • high bang for the buck value
  • low noise
Cons:
  • cheap accessories
  • no bells and whistles

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.

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].

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.

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.

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...
