The NT1-A Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone from Rode is a 1" cardioid condenser microphone. It has a self-noise level of 5 dB-A, making it a great choice for a vocal microphone, as well as for recording guitars and percussion instruments.
A studio-grade pop shield and shockmount is included, along with a 20' microphone cable, dust cover, and an instructional DVD with recording tips.
The 1" diaphragm provides a wide frequency response and excellent signal-to-noise ratio
The cardioid polar pattern of the NT1-A effectively minimizes off-axis noises such as room ambiance, monitors, and off-axis instruments
The transformerless output electronics result in quiet, noise-free output while maintaining maximum signal gain
The microphone uses standard 48V phantom power, which is supplied through the standard XLR connector
The accessory package includes a studio-grade shock mount with an integrated pop filter, a premium 20' cable, a dust cover, and a bonus DVD with microphone tips and techniques
