The Anniversary Model Rode NT1-A is a complete redesign of the now legendary NT1 classic studio microphone. From the new nickel-plated body to the state-of-the-art surface mount electronic circuitry, the NT1-A will leave you asking "how can Rode offer a microphone that sounds this good, for so little money?" It takes advantage of the huge Rode investment in advanced large scale manufacturing allowing premium performance, durability, consistency and construction at a price that anyone can afford. With a self-noise figure of only 5.5 dBA, the NT-1A is one of the lowest noise studio mics in the world -- regardless of cost. Unrivaled low distortion, higher SPL capability, and extended dynamic range make it well suited for even the most demanding digital recording applications.
