If you are in to producing/engineering and want a super mean condensor mic without spending alot of cash, this is one to get; very cheap with an extremely expensive sound. It does not have any polar switches or any built in eq’s, but most all DAW’s do have eq’s and phase reverse abilities. Plus, its better to cut freq’s that are there, then to try and boost freq’s that aren’t there; the latter is impossible actually. I’m telling you, don’t let the price tag throw you off; this baby makes everything sound good. I’ve used it on vocals, acoustic guitars, drums as an overhead/ride mic as well as a room mic for ambience. I also have a matched pair of NT 5′s that are also absolutely amazing. Rode is a great Australian company that makes amazing mics with a 10 year warranty; yep…10 years. Get one, you won’t be dissapointed. Remember though, bad acoustics = bad recording sound.

Great for vocals, acoustic guitars, pianos
and other strings. Don’t know about bowed
strings but I imagine it would work out fine.
Very versatile, True and accurate recording.
Won’t give your voice an unnatural color.
NT2 has more features for a bit more cost
I think I might have gone with that if I had
done more homework.
