Since most people start out just recording vocals, the “classic” large diaphragm condenser is the perfect starting vocal mic.
The NT1 vocal sound is crisp and detailed with plenty of warm low-end body, nothing missing or exaggerated in the midrange and an airy clarity in the top end, plus the included double-meshed pop shield does a great job and conveniently sits unobtrusively exactly where you need it.
This is probably the most affordable professional-level large diaphragm microphone on the market – and it comes with a 10 year warranty
