NT1-A Complete Vocal Recording : A mic for every application!

I bought the rode NT1-A a few months ago and it has practically paid for its self, Firstly it is best used as a vocal microphone, low frequencies are slightly cut, with a nice boost in the highs making it ideal for the typical male voice, a simple EQ can take out the harshness in the highs if that problem arises. It also works great on stringed intruments, especially guitar! Also used a pair of these in drum overheads and for room mics! Great value microphone with pop shield and a nice quailty XLR. Placement is key to get the best sound just use your ears. It can also pick up a lot of bleed from other instruments, I find it doesnt need a lot of gain so just reduce the gain to avoid this as much as possible anyway. Overall compaired to some of the more expensive mics iv worked with, it hits way above its belt, a must have! 10/10
