NT1-A Complete Vocal Recording : Great for voice and acoustic recording

Bought this mic to record voice and acoustic guitar ? works great. Has a pop-shield and a shock-mount which is useful if you don't have any of these yet. Given the price and everything included ? I think it's a great buy for beginners looking to step into more professional territory.

I compared recordings from NT1-A to a Shure SM57 and Sennheiser e906. Latter two are dynamic mics, but work okay for voice recording. I found NT1-A has more natural voice recording (closer to the original voice I heard), slightly brighter than I expected but totally understandable for a vocal mic. Note, that NT1-A requires phantom power, so make sure your mic pre-amp has one.

Bottomline:

I found the recording totally fine ? no hiss or noise. Overall, it's a great, very safe buy.
