The Rode NT 1A is a cardioid, large diaphragm, side address condenser microphone intended for general instrument and vocal recording. The NT 1A features a 1 inch large diaphragm with gold-plated membrane resulting in wide frequency response and exceptional signal to noise ratio. The cardioid polar pattern provides attenuation at the off-axis sections of the capsule, minimizing noise caused by room ambiance, instruments, monitors, headphones etc. Balanced, transformer-less output circuitry results in quiet, low-noise signal reproduction at high output levels. The NT 1A is powered via +48 Volt phantom power and features a wide frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz.
