If you are looking for an all in one mic, look no further. The cardiod Rode NT-1 large capsule is sonically what most audio engineers only talk about. Put to the test with acoustic guitars, vocals and even a flute, every capture was decent enough to mix and master. The NT-1 is immensely sensitive and the quality of the mic-pre amps you use with the NT-1 can dramatically alter the output if the mic. I would consider only using high end external hardware when using this microphone.

If you have an acoustically controlled room, this mic will be a great asset to your arsenal of equipment. When recording vocals, this mic reacts to the dynamics awesomely. It varies by tonality of vocal composition but works well nonethless decently with virtually every performer.

I have used the the NT-1 for roughly two years and have been happy with its performance everytime. Over the period I have gave my NT-1 certain uses for its unique sonic quality
but whatever the use, you will not need to worry about its performance and will be able to focus more on your creativity. The microphone comes with a handy leather bag to keep it safe...And the shock mount is very cool looking. So go and get it!
