Rode NT1-A Complete Vocal Recording 5-stars Reviews

Studio-grade mic on a budget

Bought this microphone for my home studio, I mainly use it for recording vocals, which it does perfectly. It is also very good for recording acoustic guitar, and as drums overhead mic.

Although this is from a budget Rode lineup, the quality is outstanding, everything feels premium and durable. Sound quality is on par with much more expensive microphones, which makes this a great bargain for a home studio.

The only minor drawback for me is that the pop-filter on the spider-holder is not detachable, which makes a whole assembly a bit clumsy when you're not using it. Other than that, I'm 100% satisfied!

Crisp sound

This mic is very high quality and for a home studios the price/quality is perfect.

Excellent product. Very quiet

This mic is excellent. The level of noise is very low and noticeable for recordings and video conf (handy these days of working form home). I wish it will include the RM2 ring when the whole mounting kit is not required.

Great for vocals and guitars.

I am sure that higher priced models will give you better sounds, but this Rode is at an industry entry-level. I definitely recommend it.

Pros:

- Great set to start recording right away

- Great for vocals and guitars

Cons:

- No cons for the price tag

Crisp sound

Great mic. You can use it for so many things. Vocals, guitars, drums... recommended.

Great value for money

Super clear and sensitive sound. This mic will pick up if you drop a plektrum across the room. The pop filter is okay but a bit limited. I rather use another one that is attached to the mic stand.

Bang for the Buck!

Great mic for the price. Ideal for home recording.

Super

Super Sensitive and nearly no self noise. i use it with dbx preamp for documentary voice overs.

Rode Quality

Deluxe shock mount and pop filter is very good and useful.

I get recordings close to the professional studios.

Clarity is good.

Only mic I've used in 7 years

It's so versatile it sounds great on anything. Bought in 2013: Very happy with it and will be using it for many years to come.

As excellent as everybody says it is

Very good sound. Highly recommended.

I never in my life heard this much clarity from a microphone!

Very good mic

Very good mic considering price vs quality! A must have for all singers starting to record.

Good Mic

Does its job like it's supposed to

Very Nice Sound Quality

I bought this mic for 2 weeks and I have been enjoying the sound quality of this microphone.

I use the mic for recording tutorial and teaching material.

Sometimes I also use it for doing song covers.

I find the clarity is perfect and I like the sensitivity of the mic.

Pros definitely are the mic is clear and sensitive and I will definitely recommend to other who want to use the mic for recording speech or doing narrative stuff. It's just sound perfect.

Cons are sometimes the high frequency is a bit too much especially when you are recording a female voice or you are pronouncing the "shh" "Pa" "Fa" consonant , can be a bit frustrating , however, I will use the EQ is cut the high frequency a bit and this problems goes away.

I will strongly recommend you to buy this mic with a really limited budget, FYI, I have one which has used for 10 years, I'm just buying this to my student which she also enjoys it very much!

Hope it helps !

Best bijet microphone

Bought a microphone for a home Studio. The quality of the recording was pleasantly surprised. For their not a lot of money it is simply the best! Made reliably, as the microphone and its holder, all metal. Pop filter is double and telescopic. It can be placed at any angle and extended upwards. The microphone itself is very sensitive and catches all the noise, from the computer cooler to the steps of neighbors behind the wall. Therefore, it is necessary to equip the recording room well. The level of noise is minimal and it pleases, as less pass to clean the record. I recommend this microphone to those who want to make a high-quality record but does not have a large financial capacity. Cons have this microphone simply there is no.

Satisfied Musician

This mic is one of my dream in gears. Very much happy for the performance, and output quality.

Wow!

Had this mic for over a year and so far, I am astounded on how this mic sounds considering its price point. Sure there are better microphones out there but the clarity of the recording is one-of-a-kind.

The only thing I noticed is after a while, you'll notice some parts where the paint bubbles and eventually, the coating chips. Take note that this does not affect the sound quality at all and is very minimal. All-in-all, I am thankful for choosing this mic.

Great Value

Used it for all sort of things, including vocals, acoustic guitar and podcasting. Sound wise it may not sit well with all types of voices but for 80% it works great.

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
