Rode NT1-A Complete Vocal Recording 5-stars Reviews

Great!

Good price, great quality... Recorded few songs with this mic already and i dont regret buying it. highly recommend this setup for beginners and more advanced musicians. It's all around great product.

Flexibility with an amazing quality

This microphone is simply the microphone of my dreams!

For the price of this microphone you will have such a professional microphone that can be used not only for vocals, but also for acoustic guitars, amplifiers, and even drums over mic.

And here is my evaluation for the types of usability:

Vocals: An amazing tone, it sounds like what your ears hear. The only cons, that is not actually a cons, is that it has no much bass. But if you are looking for a microphone that sounds like the professional studios microphone, this is the one!

Acoustic guitars: It's brilliant for acoustic guitars, such a tone, such a body! It's awesome!

Amp: If you place if well in front of the amp, it will get a very good sound of your guitar!

This mic is super flexible and for the price, you can't believe how good it is! I super recommend this microphone.

Rode NT1-A

It says "Rode NT1-A Complete Vocal Recording" but there's more than that.

You will get what you want with this NT1-A, from vocal to acoustic guitar, or maybe a cajun drum.

It is highly recommended.

Great sound, great price. It's my first mic so I don't have much to compare to but I can say I've been very happy with my purchase. I've recorded acoustic guitar and voice and this is a good mic for that purpose. If you're looking to record electric guitar check out dynamic mics like SM57.

Well worth it

Great sound. Though the spider mount is a bit heavy, great for a studio. Recommended.

Crystal clear sound and studio feeling

I am really enthusiastic about the Rode NT1 Studio microphone, what is optimal for home recording. I couldn‘t dream about so a high quality, crystal clear vocals and speech with a brilliant brights and fabulous lows. This low noise mic picks up all details through its awesome recording quality and amazing sensitivity. It has not only a fantastic warm sound and a sturdy design but also a beautiful, noble look and you have really a studio feeling. You can start to build with this micro and a good preamp a profi recording studio at home. All my expectations were exceeded, I am really happy and satisfied with this micro! I bought it in a set with a shock mount and pop filter, I can only recommend it for the price, you can‘t wrong!

Excellent All-Round mic

This mic has hugely helped my vocals. But has also worked really well for recording my acoustic piano (in conjunction with my RodeNT5 S mic). Very pleased indeed.

Love it

Great condenser mic. Has a really warm tone and works great on instruments as well as vocals. If you're looking for an entry level mic that isn't too steep I'd definitely go for this!

Star buy!

Top quality mic, pop shield and shock mount - you could easily pay this much and a lot more for a mic of this quality - so to get the rest bundle in is a steal - highly recommended - this is a stunning all round studio mic - and it's Australian too!

Very good for this price

I was a bit skeptic when ordering this but I was really impressed when I tried the first time. Great brights and very good lows for vocal and speech also. I wanted to try and by this mic to record spoken words, acoustic instruments plus vocals. I am really happy what this mic is capable. Real tones, good acoustics and the outcome is really impressing. My only comment is the pop filter is installed to the mount it cannot be taken off easily so it is not easy to direct in to any direction so because of this a little bit hard to record acoustic guitars. But its only a small issue and the price for this one is really great!

A very good Microphone for homerecording

I built my own little homestudio and for that purpose I needed an affordable microphone. I mostly record Rock Songs and and my voice is transported perfectly with this mic.I don't have to adjust that much with an equalizer. If you're looking for a cheap but good microphone, go for it! You won't be disappointed!

Not only for Vocals

I think this is one of the best sounding condenser mics in this price range. The characteristics of the mic remind me some higher priced ones. The vocals can be easy and very precise recorded in the studio. But I use this mic also for Guitar recordings. I record acoustic guitars and electric guitars with it. When placed in the right position in front of the amp the guitar sound gets very direct and comes with a super high resolution which can fit in the mix quite perfect. Acoustic guitars can be recorded so direct with lots of brilliance and with a well defined bass. The Pop shield is also a good gimmick.

Great mic even if you're not on a budget..

The Rode NT-1A is the best value for money in the microphone market in my opinion. It is has a crisp and clear response that capture’s almost any instrument with clarity. I have recorded anything from a male and female vocal to acoustic guitar to wind instruments like saxophone, trumpet and flute and it has done an exceptional job. OK, it won’t beat a Neumann U87 but it comes pretty close. There is just a little sparkle on the top end which you may or may not like, but all in all this a great mic, especially for beginners who are new to recording game. Definitely worth the money !

The best in its price range

It really is the best in its price range, I do not say this because he has a little noise. It surpasses similar microphones in all characteristics, perfect microphone writes vocal, guitar and tried record other instruments, and to my surprise he copes with its task.

Of course I'm not saying that it is superior to every microphone in its price category, I say that it is superior to other microphones on the number of tasks it can perform, thus perform at a decent level

If you do not wish to purchase a large number of microphones for each task is a great option for purchase but not the fact that the vocals your voice will sound in it, he did not come across with, but had heard about the problem with this microphone.

Good luck !

Bargain!!!!

This mic is fantastic quality. I don't have that much experience with different mics, I'm new enough to recording, but what I can say is that I have fallen in love with this piece of gear. I have recorded vocals, acoustic guitars and various percussion instruments (tambourine and cabasa etc.) and have gotten fantastic results. The sensitivity is incredible, the recording quality is great. For this price it's a steal, especially with the shock mount and pop filter included. I am so happy I purchased this, it's such a well built design, real sturdy... It really feels like a quality mic, i would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a decent mic at a decent price.

Great Purchase

This was my first purchase of a Studio Microphone and I am very pleased. Great Sound..

Rode NT1-A

I tried real cheap mics for home recordings then upgraded to the NT1-A the difference is like night and day,bottom line...if your getting into home recording GET THIS!

Amazing Value!

I Have used this mic for a few years now and the clarity is superb! Vocals are crisp and acoustic instruments are given an enhanced presence. In my opinion there are no better condenser mics' in this price range. FACT!

RODE NT1A

It is a really, really good microphone for home recording. Great quality sound plus it looks good, too! It is the first proper recording microphone I have had so I have nothing to compare it to but it sounds great: exactly like it does when you sing it. Really good mic. 5-star rating.
