Same as the old NT1a

I bought this expecting this to be more natural sounding than the old NT-1a, like they were advertising. Unfortunately I'm disappointed, this sounds just the same as the old Nt1, which is very bright, and borderline harsh. On the plus side, not too expensive, very sensitive for quiet sounds, and judging from other Rode products, I believe it will be reliable too so it wont break down in few years like the cheapest chinese mics do.

Surprisingly decent mic, with a great shock mount and pop shield

This isn't a bad microphone. It will be perfect for a home studio where you want a decent vocal mic without spending a lot of money. I've AB-ed it against some higher price ones, and while it doesn't quite match up, it performs reasonably. Accentuated high end makes it sound a little too bright and the mids sound a little brittle and unnatural. Having said that I've used it on a few demos and it ain't half bad. The excellently designed shock mount and pop shield are a huge plus.
