Review: 5 stars for the microphone - Okay here comes my review on Rode NT1A- 5 stars for the mic. Important points- What else do you need to use this mic ? - A usb audio interface ( phantom powered ) , Laptop and recording software. What is expected from a microphone - A microphone is required to produce a good and strong output with lowest noise and hiss.Rode NT1a is the best microphone in terms of self noise. Self Noise - What many people don’t know while buying a mic is always check the equivalent noise or self noise of a microphone. If it is less than 8db, it will be a very silent microphone in terms of noise and hiss. You can record high volume audio signal with literally no self noise. For making acoustic covers low self noise is very important. If you compare any other microphone at this price range or any starting price range of say Rs 5000 you will notice that no one is even close to the equivalent noise of 5db provided by rode NT1A For anyone having a home studio , this should be the cheapest mic to be placed. Any specification below this will disappoint you. Performance - This microphone is not flat. That means it adds a little bit of color to your voice or instrument. It is a very good microphone to record your voice or violin kind of instruments but I didn’t find good results with acoustic guitar. My guitar is quite an expensive one. I think tube mics will do a better job recording acoustic guitars. Product Unpacking- The DVD which comes along with it was missing but the microphone is working fine. Review: Excellent Condenser - Excellent Microphone. Have done thorough research on the same with various studios here and found this mike as cost effective and with excellent warm voice capturing. Though this condenser has the lowest self noise Beware - This condenser is very sensitive and capture all small noise nearby. Therefore you would need a acoustically treated room for using this. Anyways I loved the voice quality and would recommend it to all. The condenser is made in Australia and of good quality but all other free accessories are made in china but of OK quality and quite heavy too. ## Features - NT1A has large diaphragm 1” gold-sputtered capsule - Ultra low noise, self noise of only 5dB (A) - Cardioid polar pattern - Complete Vocal recording solution package contains Rode SM6 shock mount, pop filter, microphone cable and dust cover. - 1 Year of warranty with extension of 9 years on registration on Rode website - For service support or technical support write at support@t ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002QAUOKS | | Antenna Location | Recording | | Audible Noise | 5 Decibels | | Audio Sensitivity | 5 Decibels | | Box Contents | NT1-A (1U),Shock Mount (1U),User Manual Guide (1U), Safety & Warranty ManualCable (6m) (1U), Dust Cover (1U), | | Brand | Rode | | Brand Name | Rode | | Colour | MultiColored | | Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Connector Type | XLR | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 2,419 Reviews | | Frequency Range | 20Hz 20kHz | | Frequency Response | 20 KHz | | Impedance Unit of Measure | 100 Ohms | | Item Dimensions | 38.7 x 11.4 x 27.9 Centimeters | | Item Type Name | Condenser | | Item Weight Unit of Measure | 2.09 kg | | Manufacturer | Rode Microphone, 107 Carnarvon St, Silverwater, NSW, 2128 Australia | | Manufacturer Part Number | NT-1A | | Microphone Form Factor | Microphone Only | | Model Name | NT1-A | | Model Number | NT1 3rd Gen | | Number of Batteries | 1 Lithium Ion batteries required. | | Number of Channels | 1 | | Packer Contact Information | Trimac Products Private Limited, D-40, DSIIDC Packaging Complex, Kirti Nagar, Delhi 110015 | | Polar Pattern | Unidirectional | | Power Source | AC | | Recommended Uses For Product | Recording | | Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 75 dB | | Special Feature | RODE's NT1-A is one of the world's quietest microphones!
