very popular and easy to "learn" mic May 17, 2012
Reviewer: Daniel Infield from Duluth, GA United States  
NT1-A is really the only mic in its price range that you'll keep around after you upgrade to the big boys.  As an LDC, it's a bit dark, but for cheaper mics that's definitely the better side to err.    Good for vocals and acoustic guitars; shines for female background vocals in full mixes.  Better S/N characteristics than other mics of its class.

A Mic for everything! February 29, 2012
Reviewer: Oscar Pestana from Sao Paulo, BRAZIL  
Excelent for Vocals but, beyond that, also great for guitar cabinets, Floor Toms, Room miking, acoustic guitars and so on. This is a gear that can be used on every king of recording with the correct Mic Pre. Rode did it again! Awesome!

NT1-A review December 20, 2011
Reviewer: David J. Jones from Selkirk, MB Canada  
The NT1-A is a great mic at its price. Sounds distinctive but in a way that conveys quality as well. Straight through a gain only preamp, it sounds like it's in the mid range of sensitivity and quiet. The good thing about the mic is you really shouldn't process it at all, because the the sound is slightly smooth as though it went through an expensive preamp. It was probably designed that way so home recorders can go directly in without anything between the mic and the deck.

Outstanding Value March 22, 2011
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Olympia, WA United States  
I have a decent home studio and for the past year the NT1-A has been my "go-to" mic for both vocals and acoustic instruments (classical guitar, jumbo dreadnaught,  acoustic bass guitar, mandolin and bouzouki).

I also use it to record djembe, cajon, timbales, rhythm blocks, tambourines etc.  Percussion mics are specialized and the Rode isn't very useful for a full drum kit, but for the type of solo percussion I'm into--cajon and djembe--it does an outstanding job.

You can spend $1500 on a  pro condenser mic that's slightly better (you might hear a difference in the studio but  not in a live performance), or you can buy an NT-1A  and have enough bucks left over to add a chunk of money to your Gibson fund (or whatever else you've been coveting).
