RODE NT1-A Condenser Microphone Review / Test

  • Today, I have the RØDE NT1-A in the Audio Hotline Studio! I am just going to come out and say it... The RØDE NT1-A and I have been through a lot of good times together. I am a big fan of this microphone, especially for the price-point that it sits within and the quality it has. This mic may not be for everyone since it isn't a flat mic, but the sound this mic has right out the gate is quite good, and is a pretty good option for people that don't want to do much EQing in post. Since Rode made this frequency polar pattern pretty deliberately sound a certain way, it may not fit everyones voice, but it is for you to decide if it will work FOR YOU!
    In this review I go through what comes in the box, specs, audio tests, and much more (timestamps below). I do show some examples of songs that I recorded vocals with in this review. QUICK NOTE: I record and mix the way a band wants to sound... It is my job to make THEIR SOUND a reality, so although this is a way to see how the Rode NT1-A fits in a mix, I just also want you to know that each artist is different and wants a different overall sound and tone.
    Be sure to check out the testing and audio samples and see if this is right for you! Every person has different expectations of audio gear. If the features are what you need, and you like the sound, then it is right for you!
    Thanks for watching the Audio Hotline! I'll see you Audio Nerds next time!

    Great review. I took a sound engineering class at Collin College (north Texas), and in that class we reviewed several microphones, that was when I got acquainted with the Rode name brand. Our instructor had a highly favorable opinion of Rode and without a doubt, this is where one can find the more bang for the buck, these microphones are great at their price point even competing with more expensive European counterparts.

    This review has basically convinced me this is the one I need. You gained my like and follow, the whole video is perfect!
    My only question is: i know it's a condenser mic, but have you ever tried recording some metal growl/scream vocals or some high pitched voices on this Rode?

    • @AudioHotline
      @AudioHotline  2 года назад +7

      I am glad you like it!
      Yes, I have recorded a decent amount of metal/hardcore vocalists with the NT1A and I can say it is one of my favorite condenser mics for that style of vocals. It adds a cool clarity to screams, and by doing so it really drives the intensity of the vocals. It’s just awesome. If you are worried about the sizzle on the top end of this mic, the NT1 is also a good option and it isn’t as boosted in the top end. I personally love the high end of this mic for screams though.

My next mic, I'm thinking the lewitt 440 or NT1, or AT4047, or Stam Audio thingy 87. I'm going to try taming the NT1a top end with that dbx pre amp with de-esser first though. Great fun vids. 👍

    CAVEAT EMPTOR everyone: This mic, while a terrific deal in all the explained aspects, is not so easy to set up and get the desired results from if you enjoy de facto bass boost and excited enriched harmonics such as when you are crunching on your Feurich grand using a dynamic CAD. For a GoPro Hero 7 black user like me equipped with a studio audio interface made by Solid State Logic, here is what particularly worked for me: 1) Connect your Rode condenser mic to SSL2+ input socket of choice via the complementary XLR to XLR long cable, 2) Supply phantom power via its 48V button and disable its LINE and Hi-Z buttons while optionally activating the 4K legacy mode for crisper tone quality, 3) Turn its Monitor dial all the way to INPUT "with or without the stereo button pressed down" so that the captured sound will enter your iMac, 4) Setup iMac audio midi under UTILITIES folder so that SSL+ sends to output3 and output4 ports, 5) Connect an RCA to TRS mini cable all the way to Go Pro adapter from your SSL2+ output 3+4 ports, 6) Choose LINE IN as your input source in Go Pro. AND THAT's it! Don't forget to check your SSL2+ volume meter to avoid distortion however! Since this is not a stereo microphone and some distortion can be reached if you are not careful, the stereo button I mentioned is optional even though the LINE send is stereo. Cordially, Dr. Oz.

    As a spoken word guy I feel the NT-1 is the one to have. My voice is reasonably deep and even so this one is a little too boosted at the top for me, IMHO. Maybe I'd like it more if the NT-1 didn't exist.

    The Nt1-a was my first studio mic (I recorded a tone of songs with it) ... When I bought the Nt1 The Nt1-a just sat there... So I sold it. Did I regret it? not really, it's a bit harsh on the high frequenciessssss... The Nt1 takes eq much better.
    Great content like always

    • @AudioHotline
      @AudioHotline  4 года назад +2

      I agree, the NT1 definitely does take EQ way better. When I didn’t have the NT1 yet, and was using the NT1-A, I did find myself bringing down the top end with certain people’s voices. There have been times I have picked the NT1-A over the NT1, but it is usually the other way around... Having a flatter frequency response is just so nice when recording lots of different kinds of voices. The ONLY thing that has bugged me about the NT1, is reliability issues. I have gone through several NT1 mics, but the NT1-A I have never had any issues with. I know that isn’t the case with everyone though, I think I was just a bit unlucky.

    • @kartanosaka
      @kartanosaka 3 года назад

      @@nyzer1620 Personally I think the STC-20 sounds (way) better. It sounds more natural by a mile. While the NT-1a has a low self-noise, it just doesn't work on everybodies voice (boxy sound), especially when your voice is on the rather deep side. But don't get me wrong: The STC-20 extremely quiet. So to conclude this thought: When you're on a very tight budget, then get the NT-1a; but if you've got about 30 bucks to spare, then get the STC-20 100%.

    Hi! Love your videos, very informative and entertaining. I wanted to ask you something. I'm a male vocalist and artist just starting out to do serious recordings, I have very bad mic right now (PreSonus M7). Now I want to get myself a mic just to record vocals and nothing else, and I want it to be good enough to release stuff with and stick to forever. How do you think does NT1A compare to Sennheiser MK4 if I can find them at about the same price? Is something like MXL 770 more logical to get to release earlier stuff on a tighter budget and wait for new microphones to come out, or should I get this one or MK4 and keep for at least the next 5 years? Thanks :)

I have it running through a mixer with everything set to neutral/zero and 48v phantom power, with a 2 track rca cable to single jack that goes into the mic input on my pc. Would the quality improve to match yours if I have a usb interface? Or is my mic bad?

    For a loud baritone singer, in rock music in example, this mic is a little too crisp and sounds a bit cold and tends to clip easily. I find it hard to sing dynamically with this mic as the vocal volume may differ in the same line. If your vocal line is very straight forward and low volume, this mic will do the work very well. In high volumes, it's hard to get that warmth and power into its sound.
    If you want warmer and fuller tone, I'd use something else. It is a good mic and it does what it promises, but its soundscape is quite chill and crisp, which definitely doesn't work for my vocals. For the price range as its gone down drastically in couple of years, this mic however isn't at all a bad choice to try. But you really need to reduce echo and room sound with padding, acoustic plates etc., because this mic will sound pretty bad, if the recording room isn't adequate for its purpose. So this mic is rather contextual and I recommend to try it out. But my experience with it has been that I've resulted using different mics altogether after hours of trying make Röde NT1-A sound good for my voice. So as the dude in the video said, it doesn't work for everybody's voice and I can second that.

    I got the NT1-A with the 2-layer metal pop filter included. Strange reactivity with the booth/face. I think it's reflectance (not transmission per se)They were right to go to a plain double fabric mesh. That's what I use now. Once that's squared away, it's a nice microphone, half like the expensive smoothies and half like the bright ones. The metal grid pop filter in this review works great too.. Experiment with your spacing....this wants 6-8 inches for the smooth effect..

      Adam Speaking my main interface is an Apollo twin, but not everyone has a nice interface/nice preamps like that, so I use the H6 because it has average preamps (similar to a focusrite) in it. With more expensive mics, I will use the Apollo, but I am basically just trying to deliver the sound that would be achievable given the price of the mic and who I assume would be buying it.

    I need help with gain staging this microphone with my Apollo twin x for vocals in music. I’m also using a neve 1073. I’m not sure at what level I should set the microphone since I’m also using a pre-amp. Does anyone know where to find this information or a good rule of thumb when gain staging?

    • @AudioHotline
      @AudioHotline  Год назад

      The way I have used external preamps in the past is by using a 1/4in TRS to female XLR cable. I plug the 1/4in cable into the input of the interface (apollo) and then the female xlr into the line output of the external preamp (1073). That way you are using line level, rather than mic level, which will make a big difference since line level is +4 dBu and Mic Level is around -60 dBu. At that point you will just plug the mic into the input jack on the 1073 external preamp. You'll have the interface's gain essentially set to zero and you will control the gain with the external preamp (1073).
      That's what I do and it works well for me.
      This is the cable I was referring to:

    I'm struggling with the decision which mic to buy, the decision is between this Rode NT1-A and Behringer B-1. It will be paired with scarlett audio interface. Honestly, I like Rode more because it sounds better warmer, has more natural tone, it's more pleasing to my ears when I listen to your both recordings and out of the box it sounds better but it's pricey. Behringer costs 106$ and Rode costs 226$ respectively in places that I can buy it. What is a better investment, your personal opinion as a professional, can I make Behringer to sound like this, I'm going to use mic for streaming, recording, and video tutorials?

    • @PRODBYPEPE
      @PRODBYPEPE 3 года назад

      the Behringer B-1 will do a really good job, wont sound exactly the same. if your just recording for voice overs then they are very similiar and you will get a very similiar result.... if your recording songs however the rode would give a more warmer and pleasant sound but honestly ive seen £40 mics do a good job for voice overs just do a bit of eqin and your fine.

      There can definitely be a few different culprits.
      Do you have a fan on or a loud AC or heating unit? Or even a loud computer fan?
      Also, what interface do you use to record and what gain percentage do you set it to?
      It could also come down to the cable, is it a pretty nice cable? It could have some sort of grounding issue.
