NT1 : Detailed neutral recordings

5 years ago

In my opinion the NT1 is a great mic for smooth en detailed recordings. Because there is not a very prominent EQ character to it the RØDE is very useful for in-the-box coloring afterwards.

Its really beautiful on vocals, acoustic guitars and also useful for drum overheads when you got two of them.

I only find that the lows are a little bit boxy. It doesn't breathe as much as other mics I used in the €200-400 price range. You have to use an high-pass (not on the mic) to control this.

+ neutral but detailed

+ very low noice

- it lacks a little bit of definition in the lows
