Rode Microphone (The Less Expensive One)

[Sounder]

Anybody know anything about this "budget" mic? I've heard good things, but from salespeople.

I have been using it in a record and is great! Of course a Neumann is better but for the bux you spend is a heart shaped mic.
Has specially good bass....

I use two NT1's, and I find them to be a great value. They're not as sharp/precise as a Neumann, but let me put it this way : straight into the board (or Digi 001), even without any Eq, if you've got a decent vocalist you should get a very decent sound (good enough for most pro jobs).

There are some other mics around but for the price, I think this thing is almost unbeatable.

Good luck !

yes friends,

I used to rec acoustic guitas and vocals with my Rode NT2 and I have excelents results. Of course, a U87 is bettar than everyone other mics but it's very expencive...

I used to rec with the NT2 without anyone EQs...

I am using a CAD e-100 and am very pleased with vocals, horns, and it makes a good room mic too. It claims a razor flat response from 20-20,000 HZ and comes with a signed test document verifying the frequency response of my mic.

I use an NT1 with a JoeMeek VC3 ProChannel straight into the digi001 and for the price, you'd find it hard to beat. Everyone knows the more expensive Neumanns and AKG's are better but if like me you're trying to buy a range of equipment,price is a factor.
The Nt1 is quite crisp, a little toppy probably but defintitly worth a go. Even if you upgrade later you'll still find a use for it.
