Review of Rode NT1-A |
|
"Internally, however, a minor revolution has taken place. Rode has completely redesigned the electronics of the NT1, the result of which is the NT1-A – a microphone with improved tonal performance and vastly improved specifications. The impressively low self-noise floor of the NT1-A is its greatest attribute, making it well suited to the recording of quiet sound sources or anywhere where a noise floor is exposed. Sonically the NT1-A seems to have a little more in the extreme highs and less midrange presence than the NT1, making it a slightly smoother and more comfortable microphone to use on vocals and stringed instruments.If you don’t like hiss building up in your recordings, courtesy of noisy mics and preamps, have a listen to the NT1-A – you won’t hear a thing. It’s as quiet as a church mouse, relatively inexpensive and perfect for recording low-level sound sources onto digital formats. The cost of the NT1-A is, in fact, the same as the NT1, which will suit people on a budget.For anyone looking to buy a simple, cost-effective condenser microphone the NT1-A is an obvious candidate. It is well suited to a wide range of recording tasks, and is built to a high standard of manufacture. I would recommend the NT1-A to anyone. It is very simply a great microphone.

"The NT1-A is, at a glance, almost indistinguishable from the NT1", according to Liam Ruddell, Audio and Production Engineer of Lime Green Entertainment.
