Rode NT1A Studio Condenser Microphone

| By Gheorghe Farcas | Category: Microphones Showcase

rode-nt1a-bigThe Anniversary Model NT1-A is a complete redesign of the now legendary NT1 classic studio microphone. From the new nickel-plated body to the state-of-the-art surface mount electronic circuitry, the NT1-A will leave you asking “how can RODE offer a microphone that sounds this good, for so little money?” It takes advantage of the huge RODE investment in advanced large scale manufacturing allowing premium performance, durability, consistency, and construction at a price that anyone can afford. With a self-noise figure of only 5.5 dBA, the NT1-A is one of the lowest noise studio mics in the world — regardless of cost. Unrivalled low distortion, higher SPL capability, and extended dynamic range make it well suited for even the most demanding digital recording applications.
