The Rode NT1000 is a side address, large diaphragm microphone intended for vocal and general instrument recording. The NT1000 features a gold plated large diaphragm capsule with a cardioid polar pattern. The cardioid pick-up pattern is effective in minimizing noise from off axis sections of the microphone. The capsule is internally shock mounted further minimizing handling noise as well as protecting the capsule from potential damage. The NT1000 provides a wide frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz. High quality output electronics provide transparent audio reproduction at high output levels while maintaining a low noise floor. The NT1000 is powered via +48 Volt Phantom Power and includes the Rode SM1 microphone mount.

Comments about Rode NT1000 - Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone:
These are great mics, once modified mind you. Stock, they are passable, but fraught with problems. Peaks in the high-end, thin sound, etc... But with a little work by a mic mod expert, they become amazing.
