RODE NT1-A Core Technologies and Features
1-inch Gold-Sputtered Large Diaphragm: The core of the microphone is its 1-inch gold-sputtered Diaphragm, precisely manufactured with sub-micron tolerances in RODE's advanced factory in Sydney, Australia, providing the legendary warmth of classic studio microphones without sacrificing Frequency Response or SPL handling capability.
World's Lowest Self-noise: The NT1-A is one of the quietest studio microphones in the world, with a Self-noise of just 5dB(A). This ensures that every recording is exceptionally clean, free from annoying hiss, even when capturing soft sound sources.
Cardioid Polar Pattern: The tight Cardioid Polar Pattern effectively rejects off-axis sound, precisely capturing sound sources directly in front of the microphone while minimizing interference from room reflections and background noise. Its controlled proximity effect delivers a rich and intimate sound, maintaining balance throughout.
High SPL Handling Capability: Featuring a Maximum SPL handling capability of up to 137dB, the NT1-A is an excellent choice not only for recording vocals but also capable of handling loud instruments such as guitar amplifiers, drum kits, and brass instruments without distortion.
Complete Recording Package: Includes the RØDE SM6 high-quality suspension shock mount, which effectively isolates the microphone from external physical factors that could cause unwanted rumble and vibrations. The package also includes a detachable pop filter and a high-quality XLR Cable, providing everything needed for professional recording right out of the box.
