LARGE-DIAPHRAGM XLR CONDENSER MICROPHONE
RØDE NT1-A: 1-inch Gold-Sputtered Capsule
The RØDE NT1-A is a 1-inch cardioid condenser microphone for studio vocals, spoken word and instruments. Its 5dBA self-noise and wide dynamic range suit recordings where quieter details matter.
Use it with a compatible phantom-powered XLR interface and a secure mount. Microphone placement, a pop filter and a controlled room help make the most of its sensitive studio capsule.

Explore the Features

FEATURE 01
1-inch Gold-Sputtered Capsule
The large true-condenser capsule captures fine changes in voice and instruments. Speak or perform towards the front of this side-address microphone.

FEATURE 02
5dBA Self-Noise
Low self-noise keeps the microphone’s own electronics quiet behind softer sources. It does not remove air-conditioning, reflections or other sound already in the room.
FEATURE 03
Cardioid Pickup
The directional pattern favours the front of the microphone. Turn the back towards unwanted sound where practical and adjust distance to control the low-frequency balance.

FEATURE 04
20Hz–20kHz Frequency Response
The rated range covers the audible spectrum for vocals and instruments. Try small placement changes before applying large EQ boosts or cuts.
FEATURE 05
137dB Maximum SPL
The capsule can accommodate high-level sources within its rated limit. Set interface gain separately so the next stage of the recording chain does not overload.
FEATURE 06
Internal Capsule Shock Mounting
Internal suspension helps reduce vibration reaching the capsule. A suitable external suspension mount can further isolate handling and stand movement.

FEATURE 07
Balanced XLR Connection
Connect to a microphone input with P24 or P48 phantom power. This model does not have USB conversion built in, so a computer needs an appropriate interface.

FEATURE 08
A Versatile Studio Role
Use the microphone for sung vocals, narration, acoustic guitar or selected instrument positions. The best angle and distance depend on the performer, room and sound you want.
Make It Work in Your Setup
Use a stable mount, a suitable pop filter for vocals and a phantom-powered XLR interface. Keep the mic away from direct air blasts and adjust placement while listening through headphones.
Use a compatible suspension mount and pop filter for vocal recording. Ask AX Store to confirm the included accessories for the supplied kit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the NT1-A need phantom power?
Yes. It requires P24 or P48 phantom power from a compatible microphone input.
Is it a USB microphone?
No. It uses XLR and needs an interface for computer recording.
Is the NT1-A the same as the NT1?
No. They are different microphone designs; the NT1-A is specified at 5dBA self-noise.
Where should I speak into it?
Address the front side of the capsule, not the top of the microphone.
Can I use it for acoustic instruments?
Yes. It is suitable for a range of studio instruments as well as vocals.
Does low self-noise mean it removes background sound?
No. Self-noise describes the microphone’s own electronics, not noise in your recording space.
