Not inexpensive but a great mic for the money

Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2020

Model: NT1 4th GenColor: BlackVerified Purchase

I wanted a good, large-diaphragm condenser mic for recording the double reed instruments I play. After using it for the past several weeks, I can say I got a great mic. I really love this mic. It's really quiet (noise <5db). Response is dead flat out to about 12K with only a very slight fall off thereafter. It picks up the nuances in the sound-for good or bad; unfortunately, now, I can't blame the mic. ;-)) With other mics, I used to reach for some reverb; now, I just love the sound even if it's bone dry. The mic appears solidly built and is a bit heavy. The kit came with a great anti-shock mount and a very effective two layer metal pop filter that fits into the mount. The mic is not inexpensive but considering the quality, it's a bargain. For recording woodwinds, it's great. For voice or other instruments, or other applications, you may well end up preferring another condenser mic or a dynamic or ribbon mic, but at least give this one a try. You'll be pleasantly surprised (and it'll set you back a whole lot less that some other condensers or a ribbon mic).

The black ceramic finish is cool to the touch and looks very sleek

Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2018

Model: NT1 4th GenColor: BlackVerified Purchase

I am a voice-over artist from the San Antonio area. I bought this microphone for my home studio where I record professional works, as well as practice. The first thing I noticed on this microphone was the build quality. Compared to previous Rode mics, the NT1 has a quality weight to it that really speaks for its durability. The black ceramic finish is cool to the touch and looks very sleek. Coupled with the SMR shock mount, the NT1 microphone is a sleek, sexy looking microphone that performs as well as it looks. The audio from this microphone is amazing, providing crisp and clear audio from any source you're recording. The Rode NT1 provides a unique sound; with bright highs, solids mids, and warm lows, it covers the whole spectrum and sounds very natural. My only two complaints both come from the new SMR shock mount. 1. The included pop filter, though very sleek, is not always effective. It does a fantastic job about 95% of the time, but occasionally some breath can get through, especially if you are doing an excited voice over. 2. The SMR shock mount is EXTREMELY effective and offers amazing external noise isolation. However, it lacks the ability to swivel left or right, which if you are trying to work in smaller quarters, may prove unwieldy. I myself have space to work with, so it really isn't a big issue, but it is something you should consider. I use this with the Rode swivel arm... Don't use other cheap brands for swivel mounts, this is an expensive mic, so treat it with TLC, lol.

Rode NT1

Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2019

Model: NT1 4th GenColor: BlackVerified Purchase

Worth every penny. Amazing quality and clarity regardless of closed or open back headphones, great directly out of the box in general, pop filter it comes with has to be one of the best I've used. Plooms tank at least by 50-60% and at a perfect distance to from the mic to really make it of value more over. Though I have two major gripes, one being the shock mount is more or less a cup holder than it is a mount let alone shock resistant. It just sits in a hole and has the easiest time taking any vibration or anything. And the pop filter doesn't have the ability to be mounted to anything but that shock mount... Frankly too the shock mount just is solid plastic and looks "over production design" and not very practical. Especially coming from someone who uses boom arms and clamp stands, the mobility and angles the shock mount has are zero. Front and center or not at all. I like to speak into my mics at an angle to really avoid plooms, so it hits hard for me. Regardlessly, great pop filter, great mic. Bad mount. Definitely buy a real shock mount like I did. Works better.

The good things reviewers say are TRUE!

Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2015

Model: NT1 4th GenColor: BlackVerified Purchase

Wow! The good things they say about this mic are true. I'm upgrading from a Sterling Audio ST51and Sure SM58. I record my own music for fun. I don't have a premium mic preamp (iRig Pro) so i was concerned that the improvement would be negligible. I was mistaken and I'm SO glad. Instant clarity, consistency, and a true HiFi feel. The improved quality, even just recording vocals, affects the whole mix drastically. Mixing a song is easier and more satisfying. I'd read that tracks recorded with the NT1 are respond well to EQ and Compression.... why yes they do. VERY well. Extremely well.

This morning I sat in my car after recording the major track groups, with my laptop plugged into the aux input, so i can listen to real life audio system (what music get heard on most often) and also quickly compare to radio music. In 1/4 the time it usually takes to get satisfactory results i got the best mix i've ever done! Very straight forward. I'm shocked, thrilled, and rambling. When my wife listened to the mix she immediately said there's much more clarity and balance. This mic is GREAT. I'm gonna buy another when i save up the money so i can record in stereo..

PS. I recorded myself and my wife in one take with the NT1. We sing harmony, i play acoustic guitar, and she plays the cajon. It's a fun and surprisingly flexible and full sounding setup. We sounded better than i've ever heard recorded though the NT1.... smooth and transparent, yet the transients still had some punch. I've also got to say i'm super impressed with the iRig Pro. VERY satisfactory results.

Great quality microphone!

Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2023

Model: NT1 4th GenColor: BlackVerified Purchase

I had been using an Audio Technica AT2020 for voiceover work, but this one is even better. They are both budget friendly, but the NT1 is more sensitive (requires less gain), it behaves better (some of the background noise doesn't make it into my recordings) and the tone is better. It's an all around great microphone! Wish I had bought this one sooner.

Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2022

Model: NT1 4th GenColor: BlackVerified Purchase

THE MIC! One of the best I ever had. So silent! Record my voice as it is! Excellent quality!
The only BUT i had is the XLR cable that comes with it. It generates some buss (when I touch the connector that goes into the mic, the buss stops). Really unpleasant defect! I am using another XLR instead.

Beyond Expectations

Reviewed in Canada on January 10, 2023

Model: NT1 4th GenColor: BlackVerified Purchase

I expected this to be a decent sounding mic when I was ordering it. But when it arrived and I tried it out I was blown away by it's sound. I'm using it with a Focusrite 8i6 interface and with this setup it has the rich, flat, "fat" sound that I was looking for when choosing a mic for vocal recording in my very small studio. It is worth every cent of what it costs.

It is solidly built all around. It has good weight but that caused a bit of a problem for me. I want to use a desktop stand sometimes so I ordered one. But I discovered that it can't use it out of the box because it tips over from the weight of the mic. I'm a bit of a DIY guy so I already have a plan to modify it.

The included xlr cable is much too long for my needs. Luckily for me I have a short, good quality cable that I'm going to be using. Also, the pop filter's ring is made of plastic. Not that really makes any difference to me because it works just fine.

This is a fantastic mic... I highly recommend it.

It's a great mic and probably the best in this price segment.

Reviewed in India on April 17, 2021

Model: NT1 4th GenColor: BlackVerified Purchase

It's a great condenser mic for the price (with the kit). The frequency response is too good, its internal noise is so low that it's called the quietest condenser microphone. Built quality of the mic and the shock mount is really good. And yes, what I like the most about this mic is the flat sound output it provides. In this price range, this is the best option I guess.

P.s.- Do check the mic, cable and the shock mount after delivery. Amazon's packaging was so bad for this particular product. I had to replace 3 times. For the first time when I received the package, a duplicate XLR cable came out of it that was not working. So I replaced and second time after seeing the original cable, I came to know that the first one was duplicate. So match the photos given on Amazon to check if the product is original or not.

A great quality mic and I'm a happy buyer

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 10, 2018

Model: NT1 4th GenColor: BlackVerified Purchase

Everyone tells you how quiet it is; and it certainly is. Everyone says it is great for vocals; and it is. Much better than the sub £100 competitors many of which I have moved on in the past.

When I was looking for a new mic I read all the reviews and set my price limit quite low (no Neumanns). The nice thing about this mic is that although I may choose other mics for a different sound (SM57, SM58, SM81 SE Z3300A are all in my cupboard and lots of cheapies discarded and sold) it will make a useable result on everything I have tried so far (vocals, electric and acoustic guitar, mandolin, small percussion). Not only that, and most important to me is that the sounds combine in a mix without too much effort and even sounds that are mixed low are still audible. It does this very well.

I like the shock-mount / pop screen - it works well and seems reasonably robust.
The physical weight is sort of middly - feels robust without always needing an upgraded stand.
The sound doesn't get too boomy or scatchy, - boosting either bass or treble or both, results in warm true bass and / or clean silky tops.
My voice comes out very natural and eqs well to match the mix.
Acoustic guitar - I find the mic can be placed close to the strings or body without picking up string slides or too much boom.
Off-axis sounds stay quite natural.
10 year warranty when registered - how many other manufacturers would risk that?

Less good - very little really
Picks up room and outside noise more than dynamic mics but that is only to be expected.
The shock-mount mounting ring isnt captive so I'll be careful not to loose it.
It would have been better to have a plastic box for storage.
Doesnt make me sing in tune!!

Summary - Great mic certainly for the money which I'm sure will stay at the ready nearly all the time. A good first do-it-all mic and if I had only £200 to spend it would be a toss up between this and an SM57 and SM58 combo.

Great value, very solid microphone. Retailer fantastic.

This microphone is as good as worth double the price I paid. I cannot think of a equal microphone at the price.

The low noise is great for me coupled with the sensitivity. Not having a perfectly quiet booth, I can get away with it as I don’t need to bump up the gain as much as other mics.

For me there is something about condenser microphones for voice over and vocals. To my ears they just sound better then anything else. The NT1 is a microphone I can use for my lifetime I hope. It’s great on my voice but that will be something for each person to weigh up. I suspect though for anyone serious about recording it’s a valuable option to have at the price especially if it’s your first and if you already have a few. I’m raving about this microphone, extremely pleased.

The supplied shock mount is good! I do prefer the SMR which I have. However the SM6 is fantastic too. Just a bit too heavy for me. SM6 is 660g and the SMR is a third of that. They are both good and it’ll just come down to your preference and use case. The SM6 will withstand more crash and bash, but both isolate the mic just fine. The SM6 is probably a tad better at isolation.

Note it comes with a 10 year warranty which requires an invoice to register and the retailer Harris technology provided the invoice without any delay or trouble as it’s not automated through Amazon the app sends a message to the retailer requesting and they were super responsive
