Rode NT1000 Microphone

The Rode NT1000 Studio Condenser Microphone is a versatile microphone designed for various studio-recording applications. The NT1000 is a great all-round microphone boasting a 1-inch capsule with gold-plate diaphragm with a cardioid polar pattern. The true condenser designed provides a full frequency response, designed to capture every nuance of your source audio in great detail. The Rode NT1000 features transformerless circuitry resulting an ultra-low noise performance. The microphone is ideal for recording grand pianos, drum overheads and vocals. The internal capsule shock mounting and heat-treated mesh head improve signal integrity for the best possible audio performance.

The NT1000 Studio Condenser Microphone from Rode is one of the most versatile and affordable condenser microphones available on the market. The flexible design makes the microphone a great all-rounder, allowing you to record various sources with the best possible audio fidelity. At the heart of the microphone is a 1-inch gold-sputtered diaphragm featuring a HF2 condenser capsule. The true condenser design (externally biased) boasts a cardioid polar pattern resulting in a wide frequency response. The wide dynamic range and cardioid pattern, ensures the microphone captures every nuance of your source audio, paying close attention to the subtle details for optimal audio fidelity. The resulting audio is full-bodied and defined with a defined low-end and sparkling highs.

Ideal For Vocals, Pianos & Drum Overheads
The thing that sets the NT1000 from conventional studio microphones is the flexible design. The microphone is great for recording numerous audio sources, with great results when recording grand pianos, drum overheads and vocals. The wide frequency range not only helps to capture the nuances of your performance, put provides high-definition audio that translates into any mix. The transformerless circuitry and ultra-low 6dBA self-noise design ensures optimal signal integrity, in turn providing maximum audio fidelity.

Sleek, Robust Design
Not only does the microphone provide exceptional audio performance, the NT1000 also looks great. The sleek yet robust design features internal capsule shock mounting, shielding the capsule from operational noise and more for improved signal integrity. The high strength welded and het-treated mesh head helps to minimise sibilance and plosive noises before the hit the capsule, providing a cleaner recording.
