Rode NT1-A Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone,XLR

I use this whilst working with my hypnotherapy clients and to make recordings. It makes my voice sounds fantastic, far superior to even to of the range plug and play microphones. It needs a little more equipment. I use mine with a Focusrite interface.

Unfortunately, I’m very disappointed with this microphone. After some time, noticeable spots and marks started appearing on the surface, even though I’ve handled it carefully and kept it clean. For a premium microphone, I expected much better durability and build quality. Sadly, this issue really takes away from the overall experience

I am very disappointed that despite the Anniversary mic pack and the original Rode NT1-A voice pack being the same apart from its packaging there is a big price difference of £185 for the former and around £140 for the latter original one which I thought I purchased. I feel gutted with the overpricing!

The product was received on time. I had tried it, it worked perfectly, nothing to complain since its Rode after all, they have a standard guaranteed warranty policy for upto 10 years. If your looking for a 1 time investment professional recording microphone, look no further, infact if your lucky you might get an even better deal now, for ramadan offers.

Okay here comes my review on Rode NT1A- 5 stars for the mic. Important points- What else do you need to use this mic ? - A usb audio interface ( phantom powered ) , Laptop and recording software. What is expected from a microphone - A microphone is required to produce a good and strong output with lowest noise and hiss.Rode NT1a is the best microphone in terms of self noise. Self Noise - What many people don’t know while buying a mic is always check the equivalent noise or self noise of a microphone. If it is less than 8db, it will be a very silent microphone in terms of noise and hiss. You can record high volume audio signal with literally no self noise. For making acoustic covers low self noise is very important. If you compare any other microphone at this price range or any starting price range of say Rs 5000 you will notice that no one is even close to the equivalent noise of 5db provided by rode NT1A For anyone having a home studio , this should be the cheapest mic to be placed. Any specification below this will disappoint you. Performance - This microphone is not flat. That means it adds a little bit of color to your voice or instrument. It is a very good microphone to record your voice or violin kind of instruments but I didn’t find good results with acoustic guitar. My guitar is quite an expensive one. I think tube mics will do a better job recording acoustic guitars. Product Unpacking- The DVD which comes along with it was missing but the microphone is working fine.

Compré éste micrófono, pues es mi segundo NT1-A de la marca, nada más que el primero lo compré hace unos 4 o 5 años y sigue funcionando como nuevo. La calidad de estos micrófonos es muy buena. Me gusta que resalta bien los tonos de la voz, pues lo uso para voice-over, lo cual es muy importante para este tipo de uso. Lo ví a buen precio y pues lo adquirí para tener un repuesto, pero será usado también. Muy recomendable sin "romper el cochinito", pues lo conseguí a un precio justo.

I selected FREE shipping, and I live in Ontario. The product arrived from Delta, B.C. in two business days, which was very impressive on Amazon's fulfillment part. I am yet again pleased with the service speeds they provide. The product came in a classic Amazon-taped box, with brown packaging paper for protection of the product. It was very easy to open. The product packaging itself is very frustration-free, and is very organized. Safety foam inside keeps the cord and microphone individually held in place in a safe environment. The SM6 shock mount and pop filter were in a separate box within the main product box. I immediately noticed upon taking the XLR cord out of it's bag that it is quite long, which is very nice to have instead of buying one separately. The shock mount/pop filter are one piece, with many adjustments, and I am very appreciative to have these all come with the microphone as a bundle. I must say that the microphone is very high quality, even though it does not have much weight to it. You can notice the detail the Rode manufacturing puts in their products one by one. Setting up the microphone was easy as pie. It sounds absolutely beautiful, and for the price, it is SO worth it. Very very crisp vocals. Really can only imagine that you are getting less than ideal sound from it if you have no acoustic treatment, or are screaming into it with super high clipping-levels manually. I have not tested that though. Regardless, you can listen to any video on YouTube or any song recorded by the NT1A, and it is so much better than other ones in this price range in my opinion. I have used many microphones but this takes the cake. No doubt there will be somewhat better ones in the price range of a few thousand dollars, but if you don't have that budget, go for this. Any studio, whether a home, bedroom, or professional one needs this microphone. Especially at the price, you will get nothing like this. Rode does an excellent job, and I am pleased to be their customer. Thank you Rode, and thank you for reading.

Muy bueno, lo amo
