The RØDE's NT1000 1" studio condenser microphone has transformerless electronics, resulting in a low self-noise level of 6 dBA. It can capture audio for both vocal and instrument applications, great for grand piano and drum overheads. This microphone has a 3-pin XLR connector and operates on 24 or 48V phantom power, and a RM2 ring-mount microphone stand and a ZP1 padded zip pouch are also included.
