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!

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.

"everything they say it is"

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...

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

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...
