I have several condenser mics, but this is my personal favorite. I use my MXL-4000 regularly as well, but the NT1-a is my favorite. from Musiciansfriend.com This mic outperforms many mics in and above its class. Just look at the specs. from Musiciansfriend.com But its about your lyrics.....the mic dont get you signed..the lyrics do...but on down the road you might wana sound better and just get new equipment. if you are lookin to sound great. Get This Mic......it has the same ability as the Audio Technica 3035..but the Rode nt1a is alot warmer Ease of Use: plug and play Support: be careful and dont drop- this one from Zzounds.com I am a home recording engineer and had been recording for about 6 months or so with a shure SM58 until I found this. A shure is a great mic for live. But in the studio is nothing professional. When I got this mic, the quality of my sound immediately shot up 10 notches. from Musiciansfriend.com I recently purchased the Rode NT1-A condenser mic after doing extensive online and publication research. I have to say all of the reports I read were correct--this mic is incredible! from Musiciansfriend.com I researched this mic for a long time, and am extremely happy with my purchase. This mic is the one to do most thing's for your home recording purposes. Great job Rode! from Musiciansfriend.com I would recommend saving a little more and getting an NTK or something in that price range. Ease of Use: Very easy to use, just plug into preamp or mixer and go. Support: Havent need support Overall: Im replacing mine with a Rode NTK or K2 from Zzounds.com The only problem that I have found with this mic is that if you have a bass type voice it doesn't record that well. That's fixable with the right equipment though. I highly recommend this mic to anybody starting off in recording whether it's home studio products or professional recording! Ease of Use: Self Explanatory! from Zzounds.com Feature: includes a shock mount, and also a pop filter (although that may have been included by the retailer). I have not had any problems with them, although I do not routinely mount and unmount the mic Quality: sturdy, well built, professional looking Value: There are some cheaper large diaphragm condensers in the $100 range, but like most rock-bottom accessories you buy, you will wind up wanting something better very quickly. Not so with this mic; it will last you until you start wanting something in the $5k+ range. from Zzounds.com I've used it on vocals, acoustic guitars, drums as an overhead/ride mic as well as a room mic for ambience. I also have a matched pair of NT 5's that are also absolutely amazing. Rode is a great Australian company that makes amazing mics with a 10 year warranty; yep...10 years. Get one, you won't be dissapointed. from Amazon.com
