Full Description

Rode NT1-A Vocal Recording Pack

Ideal For Capturing Studio-Grade Vocals

The Rode NT1-A is a high-quality condenser microphone designed for capturing studio-grade vocal performances in immense detail. The NT1-A features a large 1-inch capsule with a gold-plate diaphragm and a cardoid polar pattern. These premium-grade components ensure you get the best possible performance from your microphone, capturing every nuance of your vocals and maintaining the tonal characteristics. The wide dynamic range spans from 20Hz – 20kHz, ensuring you capture everything from the bass in your voice to the high-end sparkle. The high sensitivity means even though its primarily suited for vocal recordings, it can also be used as an overhead microphone or for recording acoustic instruments.

Ultra-Quiet Performance

One of the most unique and prominent features of the Rode NT1-A is the ultra-low-noise performance. The self-noise level of only 5dBa makes it one of the quietest studio microphones available on the market. The low noise performance optimises your audio performance, with its minimal operating noise ensuring the best possible signal integrity and clarity. The NT1-A is also a true condenser microphone, with an externally biased design and JFET impedance converter with a bipolar output buffer.

Shock Mount, Pop Filter, Dust Cover & Cable

The accessory pack that comes complete with the microphone is designed to optimise your microphone’s performance. The vocal recording pack is comprised of a shock mount, pop filter, dust cover and 20 foot XLR cable. This provides you with everything you need to set up and get professional-grade recordings. The studio-grade pop shield helps to minimise sibilance and plosive sounds, boosting your audio quality. The shock-mount helps to hold the microphone in place within the cradle, minimising any operational or handling noise while in use. The high-quality microphone cable measures at 20 feet long, making it ideal for a range of spaces from studio to home recording setups. It also comes complete with a dust cover for preserving and protecting your microphone when it is not in use.
