NT1-A Complete Vocal Recording : Very pleased with the microphone

11 years ago

I purchased this microphone in order to use for vocal, acoustic guitar and electric guitar amp recording, but found out that it also handles low level sound recording very nice, probably due to a low self-noise.

It is very convenient that it comes with a shock mount, an XLR cable and a pop filter, which can save you some money. Personally though I would swap the cable, which is very basic, for a hard case instead of a bag.

The quality of the recording is very good,and it is most probably limited not by the microphone, but by the interface and signal chain that I am using. Nevertheless I have managed to record song demos which included guitars, vocals, bass and drums with very good results. Still, a cut filter on the microphone would be a great addition.
