Rode NT1-A Complete Vocal Recording Reviews

I use that mic in my home studio for recording vocals, acoustic guitars and room mic for drums, and i'm impresed, what an amazing sound!!!

Great Value Microphone

This is an excellent mic for the price. Clear tone and great vocal level.

Good for a start

I've been using this mic for recording vocals and sound effects. Recorded signal has quite mediocre quality, presence band is quite filthy but, nevertheless, it's a good mic for its price.

Really great mic.

I am really grateful for this microphone. I was singing on many microphones, including the best in industry and I thing price / quality for Rode is the best you can get.

Great mic

A solid microphone, especially for vocals, captures sound with no delay or lag, for beginners and professionals alike.

Rode NT1-A

Not recommended. The quality is fairly low. With some mixing here and there the problem could be solved, but the overall quality is just too low for professional recordings. If you are planning on releasing your material please do consider buying something in a higher price range. The investment is worth it. This mic is recommended for demo songs though, but when you are planning on releasing anything do not buy this mic.

Best for a price!

Its a really good affordable mic set, i do all my recording using only this microphone and never had issues with it.

High-quality sound with a modest price tag

Everybody knows that it is hard to buy mics without any test, but this won't let you down!

This is a great microphone for everyone, who is looking for a high-quality results with a modest price tag. Great quality, very sturdy! Very versatile. It works great on vocals and wide variety of acoustic instruments like pianos, guitars and other strings. Won't give an unnatural color - really clean sounding with lots of detail!

I have had this mic for over a year now (I have two of them now) and I can say over and over: great affordable home studio microphone!

I use this microphone almost everyday (i use this on everything in the studio) and it suits my purposes very well. It sounds like what you put in front of it. It can handle loud sources as well.

It is just like a Premium sounding microphone, and it's like a tank! :) The pop filter, shock mount and and the most important xlr cable are are big bonus.

Have an idea of pros, now about cons. As you may guess, it has only one direction of picking sound (not multi pattern). And sometimes highs are bit harsh (but very rarely). for me that's all.

long story short: it does what it does well.

Impressed

Very good piece of equipment. The clarity of this mic is incredible. Vocal Recordings are smooth, natural, and you can really hear the grainy texture of the artists voice clearly.

Superb mic

I'm using it in my home studio mainly for recording vocals and once in a while for acoustic guitar as well.

Pros:

The mic is well built and looks beautiful. The sound quality is top notch and I believe, unmatched at this price point.

Cons: none

Unbelievable Mic

So please with my NT1-A. Great Mic, great price especially as a bundle with stand. Would recommend to everyone!

High Performance & Low Price

I bought nt1a for game streaming and it works well.

Its my first microphone but im very happy with my choice.Really a solid microphone.

Pros: High sensivitiy, low noise.Solid body.

Cons: Doesnt exist.

Doesnt matter If u re an amateur or professional u will be satisfied.

Excellent Mic

Pros:

Really clear very low noise microphone,

great for capturing high detail recordings,

sounds great on singing vocals and acoustic guitar

Cons:

a bit basic in terms of features as it doesn't have a high pass filter or polar pattern switch,

I would have liked a mic case for it but considering you

get a cable and pop filter with it it's great value

Conclusion:

it's a basic mic but what it does it does exceptionally well it's honestly hard to find fault with it

it's outstanding level of detail and clarity are above anything at this price and rivals mic's several times the cost

i probably wouldn't recommend it for extreme metal or gritty voices as it's a bit too clean sounding but if you're looking to do voiceovers, podcasting or make music involving any kind of singing and want a great tone this might just be the mic you're after, it's clear and pleasing to listen to and has for lack of a better word an "expensive" quality to the sound that most mic's at this price lack, i have more expensive mics but for female singers this is the mic of choice more often than not.

The Standard Microphone to record Voice and Acoustic...

I purchased this unit to record my voice for some demos and I have to say that I am very very pleased with that.

Before I tried to record with a Beringer cheap mic, well you can guess the result...

With the Rode NT1-A, it?s another planet. My voice comes out really natural and much better than what I was expecting and it's very low self noise. It is basically the world's quietest studio microphone, even if it captures a lot from the environment...

I highly recommend buying this microphone because of it's quality and price. Great job guys!!!

Great clarity

I am in love with this mic. I am setting up a home studio and was advised this would be a great entry level mic. I am not proficient in the use of condensor mics or the tech garb that goes with it. But thus far I most certainly cannot complain.

The vocals recorded so far are crystal clear with a lovely, bright natural tone. The detail of the sound is amazing. I have tried it a couple of times in front of an acoustic guitar and am also happy with its performance here.

I have a friend with a studio with a wide array of mics from Neumann to Telefunken. He has a couple of NT1-A's and says he probably gets more use out of these than any other mic he owns. Would highly recommend to all who need a workhorse mic at a great price.

Very good

This my first good mic.Will use in home Studio. The store is great. Delivery to Russia very quickly. Thank you to all the store employees!!!

Amazing Budget Microphone

Hey guys, finally got this sensational large-diaphragm mic, so I'm here to share my experience.

For a long time I was using cheap dynamic microphones to record my home demos, so this is my first condenser mic. What can I say? Me and my musical friends were amazed by the quality Rode NT1-A provides to us.

Clean, quiet, yet very sensitive sound. We noticed how

good it captures the natural reverb of my bedroom, but not in the bad way, it is so smooth and warm. Rode NT1-A raised my music one or even two steps higher.

I plug my Rode into M-Audio Fast Track audio interface, record my Yamaha FG acoustic guitar and my deep baritone voice. That is the reason I got exactly this microphone. It does great work recording both of them.

There's only one con, for those who record in their bedroom. It will capture the sound of how your wife washes the dishes in the kitchen and other noises, with every door closed. So you'll have to work a little bit to isolate yourself.

Also don't forget that you need mic-preamp, because Rode NT1-A requires 48V Phantom power.

It's such a pleasure to work with such equipment, even though it is just a budget microphone. If you are a beginner musician, you will be lucky to have Rode NT1-A.

Very good mic

I was very impressed with this mic. I tried many other mics until I came across this one that is able to give me the quality in recording that I have been looking for - it's also very strong and well made. It should last a long time

rode are class

i love it, the best value you can get for such a decent price, i recommened the bundle
