The Rode NT1 Signature Series Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone in black is a high-quality microphone designed for live performance. With a maximum SPL of 142 dB and a cardioid polar pattern, it offers excellent sound quality and characteristics. The large diaphragm size, transducer type of condenser, and XLR 3 pin connectivity make it a versatile and reliable choice for various audio recording applications. The sleek black color and compact design add a touch of style to this professional-grade microphone.
Rode now has the NT1 4th gen, NT1A, NT1 signature series, and NT1 fifth generation. After listening to a comparison of all of these, the NT1 sounded more like much more expensive mics, with full body in the lower frequencies, and more neutral or smooth highs with less sibilance.
