I find the Rode NT-1 a useful workhorse.

of Sydney, Australia.

The Freedmans made their name as the importers of
"Dynacord" valve PA gear into this country in the 1960s.

A name that will live on in infamy ...

Peter Freedman (son of Henry) is the proprietor of " Rode " mics
- a silly German sounding name he made up to HIDE the
Chinese origin of the mic capsules and other parts that
are used to make the thing.

In NO WAY SHAPE or FORM is the NT-1 a vocal mic !!!!

Using it for that purpose will very soon RUIN it !!

BTW:

The Rode NT-1 has a nick - which is suggestive of a rat.

The capsule of the NT1-A (unlike that of the NT1) is entirely
Australian made. As for vocals - well you would not use it for stage
work with your mouth buried in it, but from six inches away behind a
pop shield (as you would use it in a studio), it is an exceedingly
good vocal mic.

How the company started out is a matter of neither interest nor
importance. What matters is right now they are manufacturing the state
of the art.

** Yawnnnnnnnnn...

There is lot more "fart" than "art" in any Rode mic.

I've been told by a source I believe rather more than I do you.

That's right. What do you imagine vocalists use in studios? Have you
ever been in a studio? Have you even seen a picture? Vocalists use
(99% of the time) a large diaphragm condensor coupled with a pop
filter.

Thank you for your kind permission.

Rodent.

All that implies is you take reasonable care with it. Like you should do
with any precision equipment.

Indeed. Our Phil seems to think mics are only used on gigs.

I wonder...???

When I was investigating cheap mics a year or two ago a lot of roads seem to
lead back to an anonymous-looking outfit in China with a name or initials
beginning with 'Y' - I think, can't be sure now. (Note obvious pun
avoided....;-)


OK, I Googled and got lucky - I think it's ShuaiYin:

If you can't get anywhere with that (I gave up), there's a couple of

Yes, the Chinese do an awful lot of this stuff, both badged and OEM.
The NT1-A isn't part of it, though.
