ericthegreat « love this mic. »
Published on 09/25/11 at 23:16I think this mic is a phenom for instruments, acoustic guitar was awesome. Female vocal was also pretty awesome, clean, some make vocals are great on it if they are higher pitched. My rich baritone voice is not very warm on it though. Every one I record on it sounds great, the only one I don't like on it is me. I want to try a Neumann U47 or something to see if it's just in my head or is it really that good. I expect a warmer sound on me, more "Shocking warmth" but never quite satisfied.
My mic pre is the blue tube from presonus with a groovetube in place of the tube. I want to get the Presonus ADL600 or avalon AD2022 to see if the quality of the NT1a improves...Using a 192 delta audiophile card from m-audio and nuendos 4.
OVERALL OPINION
Overall, This is a great multi-purpose mic for any engineer. The sound is highly detailed and transparent. This mic made my guitar shine, even while connected to my lower end mic pres. Sounds good on everything I have tried it on so far...drum overheads, acoustic guitar, vocals. For the price you cant beat it. If you are in the market for an all-purpose, affordable mic, look no further. Very wamr , clear and crisp vocals that you will love for any genre of music. Not too mention they way it sounds with your guitar, it will be very clean. There arent too many mics out on the market that will give you the quality of this. Not too mention the price is great as well. You can compare this too some of the shure higher version mics. Make sure you have a shock mount with this mic though, you will notice a hugh difference if you don’t have one.
