Product Description

The RODE NT2A is a professional, multi-pattern studio condenser microphone. The NT2A is based on the legendary NT2 - the tone behind countless recording hits of the last decade. A professional large capsule (1 inch) studio microphone incorporating three-position pick-up patterns, PAD and high pass filter switches conveniently located on the mic body. At the heart of the NT2A is the Australian designed and manufactured HF1 dual diaphragm capsule. The frequency and transient response of this transducer has been voiced to complement today's modern recording techniques, and yet still evoke the silky smooth character of the legendary microphones of the 50's and 60's. These features provide the flexibility and superlative audio characteristics that make the NT2-A one of the most versatile condenser mics available.

Rode NT2A Anniversary Vocal Condenser Microphone Package Review

First thing, this is a very nice mic. 2nd thing, do yourself a favor and get a nice, sturdy mic stand & boom. Even the good "on stage" stuff ain't gonna cut it unless you don't mind slipping & toppling due to the weight of this mic. Particulary if you gonna boom it out any, or use horizontal, and/or inverted positioning. At least go with something like the Atlas MS-20E stand which has a 12 inch die cast 14 pound base coupled with the Atlas PB15 boom which has a 3.5 pound counterweight, and a double boom lock option. Together that'll run ya about 125 bucks void a deal. Don't be an idiot a put this awesome mic on a piece of crap stand. Sooner, or later...you'll be sorry. 3rd thing...a decent pre-amp never hurts.

Enough about stands & stuff...I bought this mic specifically for recording vocals as a solo acoustic guitar player. And it's great for that, especially through a tubed pre-amp. But if you play an acoustic instrument while singing...it will pick-up a lot of the instrument using the card pattern in an upright position. Using the figure 8 pattern with a null area pointing towards the instrument is a big help with this. Enter the sturdy mic stand & boom, lol. The omni pattern is good for adding a little width to your sound when needed, and softening the forward gain just a bit. The omni is also fairly good for say 3 players playing in a tight circle, and the figure 8 for two across from each other. I do think it is a better vocal mic than instrument mic hence the 4 stars instead of 5. But it will do the job nicely assuming you manage it properly, and find a good balance, when using it in that manner. This mic will not let you down unless you're used to mics priced in the thousands.
