Rode NT1-A microphone
The Rode NT1-A is a highly popular large diaphram recording studio microphone that's affordable for the home recordist.
Originally released in 1991 the NT1 microphone was one of the first condenser mics to bring decent professional performance to the new and growing home-studio market. The NT1-A edition has a low 5 dBA of self-noise, making it one of the world's quietest microphones and is ideal for acoustic instruments, vocals, voiceover etc etc. With a clearer and more articulate high end than the original NT1 with a hint of subtle warmth that's universally flattering on vocals, there's nothing "budget" about the sound of the Rode NT1-A.

The Rode NT1-A is a true externally-biased condenser microphone, like the most expensive large-diaphragm studio condensers.
State-of-the-art surface-mount electronics and transformerless circuitry make the NT1-A one of the quietest microphones in the world with a self-noise rating of just 5.5 dBA, the NT1-A is perfect for picking up detailed nuances of instruments like acoustic guitar, quiet violin, or delicate vocals. And yet, a maximum SPL of 137 dB makes it a go-to mic for loud vocals or drum overheads. It's this versatility that has made the NT1-A a first-choice condenser for home project studios.
