«  Cardio while "curves" »

Published on 02/10/13 at 16:47
I write this first notice to correct an assertion "jctroyes" and "Arieti"

the NT3 is NOT hypercardio, but only cardio!

It is a condenser microphone with external power supply (not electret!) With a relatively large capsule: 3/4 ".

It is particularly suitable for plucked instruments like the guitar.

It supports phantom power and 48V Power 12.24, or a 9v battery. The battery is not used when the Phantom is available.

Its frequency response curve is given for particularly flat.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few months, occasionally, according to my needs. especially in a simple configuration: acoustic guitar, or electro-acoustic + singing, rehearsal or live on a combo Fishman Loudbox Artist.

I love its roundness, its warmth, "smooth", and a good overall accuracy anyway.

I also like its versatility standpoint diet. I appreciate that its technology is not Electret! Build quality gives confidence (a big "block" metal). Its capsule is large enough that playing on the sound definition.

I regret a little "bundle", (too) classic compared to some competition, yet cheaper. I would like to see provided support anti-shock (sold separately at € 39.00!) = SM4).

Otherwise, the price is more than adequate given its quality and versatility!

In fact, I'm considering buying a second ... to the pair for various uses that do not necessarily match elements which require perfect stereo.
