NT5 MP : nice mic and in budget pair

5 years ago

nice mic for me to record a group of eastern orchestra.

I have tested among some mic such as nt2a, akg c5, behringer c02, akg perception 120, shure beta 58.

nt5 gave me confidence to buy. I have bought 4 pairs of nt5 and 2 nt2a.

if you want to use this to record, I think it is less noise comparing with c02. c02 seems receiving too much unnecessary voice. (maybe mid level frequency).

nt 5 is weaker than nt2a. maybe the point is diaphragm size.

akg120 is omini mic less attractive then nt5.

akg c5's voice makes me feel that it has more low freq.

in conclusion, nt 5 is in budget and reliable. I also feel like high standard voice in low budget.
