The NT1-A is a progressive modern 1″ diaphragm condenser microphone by RØDE. Planned and made in Australia, the industry secures its with a leading 10-year guarantee. Although its housing closely resembles the NT1, RØDE has totally remapped it from the ground up. Their only shared component is the mesh capsule. The engineers of this company consider the NT1 is the marriage of development and convention that begins with the capsule; a totally modern plan. Codenamed the HF6, it is the idealized illustration of RØDE’s combination of imaginative design approaches and cutting-edge fabricating procedures. Moreover, it highlights a sound signature reminiscent of the celebrated microphones of ancient. Regardless, at the same time, it shows amazingly low noise.

NT1-A: Features

The NT1-A’s center on point by point midrange reaction couples with plush smooth high frequencies and warm, circular, bass generation. As a result, it creates an outright standout in its segment. The transducer itself suspends in the interior the microphone. To do so, it utilizes Rycote’s industry-leading Lyre system that minimizes outside vibrations at the capsule level. The capsule, hitched to high-grade hardware, supplies the most reduced commotion level of any studio microphone. Additionally, the NT1-A is an inconceivably quiet receiver; its measures are 4.5dBA of self-noise. RØDE machined its body from 6061 aluminum, after nickel-plated for resistance against erosion. Finally, its outer coat is a strong and military-grade ceramic layer. The manufacturer uses progressed electrostatic application procedures to guarantee an amazingly difficult wearing wrap-up that’s safe of scratches and marks.

Moreover, the NT1-A is provided with the SM6, a high-quality suspension shock mount that gives isolation from outside physical variables. In turn, these cause unwanted roll and vibrations within the receiver. However, it incorporates a detachable pop shield with two axes of alteration and an adaptive arm for extreme application versatility.
