Rode NT1-A Complete Vocal Recording

I have many microphones of the same class. Rod points out and is proud of the noise level of 5 dB. So, this is the noisiest microphone I have. This is not a marriage. But he background noise is louder than AT2035 with 12 db. At the same time, the mouth is much louder than it is indicated in the specifications. They write that the sensitivity of the microphone is 16 millivolts, but in fact it is almost 25 in comparison with competitors. The microphone is made of high quality, an excellent spider and kit, looks cool and it's nice to use. The sound itself is too high-pitched and caustic, as it turned out, everyone is talking about it, it doesn't seem to me. I didn't have enough detail in the middle frequencies, as well as a calm transmission of hissing. I bought myself another microphone. But I'll leave this one too. The store's service is just great.

If you are looking for a high-quality microphone that can capture your vocals with clarity and warmth, you might want to consider the Rode NT1-A Complete Vocal Recording. This bundle includes the Rode NT1-A microphone, a shock mount, a pop filter, a XLR cable. The Rode NT1-A is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone that has a cardioid polar pattern, which means it picks up sound from the front and rejects noise from the sides and back. The microphone has a low self-noise of only 5 dB, which makes it ideal for recording vocals in a quiet environment. The microphone also has a wide frequency range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz, which means it can capture the nuances and details of your voice. The Rode NT1-A Complete Vocal Recording is a great choice for singers, podcasters, voice actors, and anyone who wants to record professional-sounding vocals at home or in the studio. It is easy to set up and use, and it comes with a 10-year warranty from Rode. The Rode NT1-A Complete Vocal Recording is an excellent value for money and a reliable microphone that will deliver consistent results. The only complaint that I have is that the delivery it was not at my door, so I had to go to the postal office to pick up

I use this one for vocal and instrument (classic guitar) recordings in my home studio.

I was amazed to be honest by the sound a cheap condenser microphone can produce, but to be honest that was my first cheap purchase from Rode as my band previously owned 2 Rode K2's.
The difference is huge. But I am not here to compare non-similar products.
I am just stating that this is a very high end to begin with condenser microphone. Especially for light studio work!
To make your recordings even better you can use the (the t.bone Micscreen XL) Thomann provides at a very reasonable price, especially if you have a not so isolated room and have various feedback (walls - glass etc.)

Pros:
+ build quality
+ Produces what it states

No Con at the moment.
(2 months light use)

With that all, you have a product you can use daily without being afraid to having it constantly connected on your Audio Interface.

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
