Rode NT1-A Complete Vocal Recording Reviews

I couldn't say nicer things about this kit. It sounds very clean and "deep". It can handle gentle soft singing as well as some heavy screams (have tried both), maintaining a crisp and clear sound. It also does a great job at recording acoustic guitar, with a very warm sound. It's a very good bang for the buck, no doubt. All the finish is flawless, and it looks very professional and high end. Would recommend and buy again

Excellent beginner microphone and shock mount.

Excellent price point.

cannot fault it so far and have been using it for over a year

Very Good

This is the best budged microphone you could ever get.

No brainer..

Those looking for a no-frills, workhorse mic for use in the home studio can't go wrong. Would happily recommend to anyone.

Very good sounding microphone for its value, probably the best value I ever paid for any new gear. I've recorded 3 albums with it, and will keep on recording with it.

Great bundle.

Everything you need for a quality voice and acoustic instrument recording.

For this price? Wow!

NT1-A is a solid Microphone, excellent for voice recording.

Well built, noise-free and clear sounding. There's nothing to complain about it, specially in this price range. Most people might use it for many many years before actually needing to spend more money on more expensive mics.

I recommend .t whieheartedlyol

Sensitive and considerate

The further away you are from the microphone, the more the surroundings come into the mix.

I most definitely do recommend you get a reflection filter also when you sing in the higher registers, but when you stay in the lower registers, like with some Hip-Hop, just getting close-up to the mic will eliminate most problems with room acoustics.

The mic does everything you expect it to do. Study what the effects are of positioning it, straight up, sideways, diagonally; and look into room acoustics. That will help you get the most out of it.

Rode NT1-A Complete Vocal Recording

Excellent value for money, clean sound and complete equipment for semi-professional use. A microphone that can't miss in the home of a lover of music and singing. Good frequency response

Rode NT1-A gets 5 out of 5 on build quality, it is sturdy and well-made. It is little heavy for cheap mic stands so make sure you have a good stable stand.. I honestly can't say for how many years it will stay this way but it seems it will probably resist the years of abuse... It picks up a lot of floor noises and wall reflections 'though, it demands proper sound proofing & acoustic treatment in where you record. Once you do that (which I did!) it is pretty noise-free and super clean. But if you don't have any precautions, you end up getting a lot of very ugly mud in the 200-400Hz range and that is something you cannot EQ easily.. Also the cable came with the mic is very good, it is very well balanced and noise-free. This is a very good mic to record vocals and especially acoustic guitars. If you don't have enough money in your bank, you can also try Tascam TM-80 which in many ways very similar to this Rode NT1-A and cheaper... and lighter... My overall for NT1-A: 8/10

good quality

this product help me a lot easy to use and amazing quality and pair price.i should buy more of this in the future for my other stuff.

Studio Mic

The best choice of every Studio

Perfect

Very good quality, not expensive. No cons.

A Big Step Up!

Microphones of this kind can be very expensive, but I find this RODE recording set perfect for what I need. Alot of Youtuber use it just as a speaking mic, but it is also really good for singing. Don't let the price make you think it isn't worth it because it made a whole lot difference for me. Before this I was recording with my stage mic, but this is much better, it captures the sound really well.

If I stand far away it captures the guitar and the vocal and if I want more details for the vocals I move closer and record guitar on a second line. So its very versatile this way.

This is a very good recording mic. If you're buying your first one I would recommend this one without a doubt. I do recommend a good quality stand with it, its a bit heavier than a stage mic so you will want to fix it a bit better than a stage mic.

For the money you are paying, you can not go wrong. It is pretty clear and colorful.

Awesome Mic for Vocal

I use this mic as the main one for recording vocal at my studio.

Pros: high clarity, low noise, the filter is adjustable and works perfectly by filter out all the unwanted noise.

Cons: None as it does what it says.

pristine sound

Very clear and noiseless mike. Material quality is good. Use it with a good interface :-)

Good value for money

I got both the Rode NT1-A and the Shure SM57 LC because I was not sure what would be the best option. My goal is to record music at home. I play a variety of instruments, from deep drums to high tuned thumb pianos. The Rode NT1-A is a clear winner over the Shure SM57 in terms of sound quality. It has a crispness that couldn't be beat, especially on the high tone range instruments. On low range instruments it is a close call. So if you're like me, and not sure which one to get, I would definitely recommend this one.

The Millenium MS 2003, which comes in a bundle with this recording set, is not a good tripod for this microphone and I would recommend getting a slightly more expensive (more stable) one.

Very true sound

These mics are true. They record sound so accurately. Perfect for vocals, but I've used them for acoustic guitar and an amp room mic.

Build is tough, and packaging is just top notch. You can't go wrong with this mic.

Best budget microphone. Very well built, good warranty, excellent sound.
