Stereo matched pair of this class-leading condenser micropohone - Ideal for stereo vocal or instrument miking (shockmount included)
Say No To Noise
The RODE NT1-A is one of the most quiet microphones in its class.
Why is this important?
Light and dark, hot and cold, loud and quiet! These are examples of the contrasts found in nature. A low noise recording will give your work it's dynamics. It will give you the impact you dream of. Adding noise from any device, especially at the source, only degrades your performance.
The RODE NT1-A has a self-noise of only 5 dBA!
Low Noise is only half the story
- Multi award winning, and one of the world's biggest selling studio microphones, the NT1 original is now a legend. The NT1-A continues this tradition while improving specifications and tonal qualities.
- Using cutting edge technology for the electronics, RODE has implemented a computer controlled manufacturing line. Unlike many leading brands, all electronic boards are made without human hands assuring high specifications, tight tolerances and unsurpassed consistency.
- Built to last with a new computer controlled matching process. The body is then satin nickel-plated. The NT1-A is designed to last a lifetime.
- No PAD or Filters. Some microphone manufacturers include these in their budget products, but at what cost? The NT1-A can be used with very high sound pressure levels without perceptible distortion. Most people never use a high ppass filter on their microphones. Why pay for features you don't want or need at the cost of what is really important, true performance!
- Complete solution: The NT1-A comes complete with a dedicated shock mount and zip pouch. No optional extras to buy.
