Boy Howdy!
I am investing in my first large condenser mic for my home studio.
I am considering the Rodes NT1A and the Studio Projects C1.
Can someone lend me there ears and tell me what to be aware of as far as performance and application?
I am planning on this being my vocal mic using my baritone voice.
I know the NT1A doesn't have a rolloff switch. I am starting out and have my M-Audio Fast Track Pro as my vocal preamp, so I don't know if this will ake any difference in my ability to adjust.
Also I heard that the SPC1 is a great vocal mic, ( some say it sounds like the Neumann U87?), and the C1 does have a 10db pad and a high pass filter.
Any opinions and shared experience will be greatly appreciated.
They are both retailing around that $200 mark, which is at the limit I can invest for my first real mic.
Blessings,
Johnboy

Both are good mics at the price point. I would opt for the Studio Projects.
Why? I feel it's a bit more versatile with the pad and filter.

I've got an NTA-1 and a fast track, and I'm very happy with it.
My fast track doesn't have phantom power, so you'll probably need that too.

I'd go Rodes in a heartbeat! If you're happy with plain-old cardioid pattern, another great mic is the AKG C3000B.

C1 all day. Those two are like night and day. It does sound a little like a U87 for the fact that it is airy. The original C1. I see they have re-released the C1...might not be exactly the same thing.
