Rode NT2-A Studio Solution Set 5-stars Reviews

Идеальный набор за с&#1074

Использую как для записи акустики, так и голоса, и даже писал гитару с маршаловского стека.

Использовал с хорошими преампами/картами

- UAD карты (где тоже все в порядке с преампами),

- Focusrite Clarret 8PreX.

- Drawmer 1960 - the BEST

- Golden Age Project Pre-73 MKIII Plus - тоже неплохо.

unbeatable price-quality ratio

I'm really happy with this mic. it is really really good. with many features. not so happy about the antipop structure, but it's not a big deal.

really solid mic!!!

Amazing value for the price

I just ordered a range of condenser mics from €300-€900 for voiceover work and did a blind test. Of course, it's subjective, but for me this little beauty came out a close second, only beaten by a TLM102. Tons of options for patterns and low cuts, plus the stand and cable make this a really good deal, especially if you're just starting out and can't afford a really expensive mic.

Full of Feature

I was about to but the lower version of this but there's a technical issue when purchasing. I did not regret the money spent. This is the best mic I have ever had.

Pros:

+ The pattern changing option on the mic itself are very useful. If you only want to buy 1 mic, you should choose this. You can use it for vocal, duet, or instrument recording.

+ The pad is useful if you are in a small home studio. Sometimes you just need to sing and listen to your own voice through a speaker. The pad can help to minimize feedback even though the real purpose was to record high dB sounds

+ The noise level is at the absolute minimum. My DAW record the voice from the mic with extremely low signal yet when I normalized, the noise is still undetectable.

+ The sound color suits my taste, especially when I use mostly to record female voice and teenagers.

Cons:

- The SM6 shock mount makes it not possible to place 90 deg between you and the mic stand because where you mount the mic and the pop filter are in a straight line.

All in all, I like it.

Stop your research here uy it

Product was dot on Time and Packaging was awesome..

Product Quality : Mic is rock solid and heavy. the moment you grab it into your hands you will feel you have invested in the right product.. its robust.. coming to shock mount Its steady and heavy too. both mic and shock mount are bit heavy .. so you need a heavy duty stand for it..

MIC Quality: i have been using AKG p120 MIC for 1.5 years ... after plugging in Rode NT2A .. I felt like it gave me Wings to my vocals and to this price range its the best... low frequency are warm, mid is smooth and highs are crisp for vocals...

I also recorded Acoustic guitar and its really crazy.. i never expected this would really change the quality to this extent.

Before ordering the product i was bit skeptical weather to invest near to $280 for home studio. but its worth it and you can take it too if u can afford it...

Great Package

The quality of the mike itself is first class, it’s solid and well constructed and pretty heavy so feels like a quality product. Most importantly it sounds great, previously I had been using my go to stage mike (SM58) but for home studio use, the Rode is more fit for purpose. The cradle which comes with it works well as does the pop filter, though the latter is a little flimsy, so I’ll see how durable that will be over time, but useful nevertheless.

Initially I wanted the the NT-1 as I need it almost entirely for vocals so I thought I would never need the additional features on the NT-2A but already I have used some of those features and for just a little additional investment it seems well worth it and I’m glad I went for the upgrade.

Clearly you can spend a fortune on a quality condenser mike, but for real world, normal use eg a home studio, the Rode does the job and the sound quality Is perfect for this application. At this price point it is an excellent addition to my studio.

Not worth looking to buy something more expensive.

I bought Rode NT2-A Studio Solution Set for my home studio, and totally surprised with the quality and variability of the ways that I can use this microphone. I use it in conjunction with Ableton Live + Focusrite Scarlett 6i6. I can record from 1 to 4 or even 6 vocalists in one time due to three variable positioning polar pattern. Also i easily can record acoustic guitars, percussions like shakers etc. and even a piano.

As for sound quality - the recording is a little better I heard only at the Neumann microphones and old ribbon microphones - but it is another price category... The cable and pop filter that cames in set are okay! Very convenient when everything is sold in one set.

That was pros.)))

As for the cons - I can say that the microphone itself has no cons. But I think that the shock mount that comes in set is pretty flimsy, and I'm afraid it might tear. But maybe it's just my imagination.)))

And yes - the microphone sleeve looks really cheap - but who cares?...)))

I recommend this set to everyone who appreciates high-quality sound, and knows how to count money! Good luck! And long live rock'n'roll!!!

Great mic for the price.

Best choice for this price

After almost 10 years from purchase I'm still very happy with this mic. Works great and gives me clear vocal sound.

Great Mic

This was my fist serious mic purchase and i am really satisfied with it really. Previously i had an SM57 but with the RODE i feel that my vocals and recordings with my accoustic guitar now are on another level.

Came quick. In comparison with my old AKG 120 USB it`s like the next next level of quality. The sound is amazing even with the noise level in my apartment.

P.S. The box was damaged a bit.

Great Mic!!!!

I have been using this mic for many years now. And only after years, I am giving this review.

I am no professional just a hobby musician who likes to record stuff.

In the last years, I have used the Rode NT2-A with different People, with different vocal ranges. Male and Female.

My observation is that male voices are recorded without any problems. And the results are beautiful.

I ran into some issues recording female voices.

I tried to record a very strong altone once and the mic would cut her voice of all the time. I had the same problem with a strong Soprano.

I am not sure if the Mics Membrane couldn't handle their voice.

We solved it by just moving them farther away from the mic.

I really like the feature of changing the characteristic of the mic, as I have used the mic to record sessions with friends just sitting around the mic and singing and playing a different instrument.

To my eyes, it looks well built and its durable.

It needs Phantom Power for people who are new to recording.

To my ears, it records a very clean, brilliant sound. Almost no noise. Just a little bit which is easy to remove afterward.

I would always buy it again. And it's my first recommendation for people who just start recording.

very good mic!! i really recommend to buy

lovely mic with good sound quality!

very sturdy

mybe not the best mic but a very good one if you cant afford a top price mic

A really nice mic

I've been using this product for over 2 years now in my home studio, and I'm totally satisfied with it. I read about the features of it at the time of the order, and the product lived up to my expectations.

It is amazing how versatile this microphone is. I hook it up to my Steinberg UR44 audio interface , switch the phantom power on, and it is ready to record speech, singing, rapping, acoustic guitar, bass guitar from an amp, cajon, darbuka, various noises, or even low volume ambient sounds.

In addition to the Rode NT2 A condenser microphone, there are some other items in the package:

- a Rode SM6 shock mount with a pop filter (easy to use and adjust, and the pop filter part can be bent away in seconds if not needed)

- a 6 m XLR cable (I have never had any problem with it, the quality is great)

- a dust cover bag which comes really handy (I can leave the microphone on its stand and just put the cover on it)

All in all I am really satisfied with this product, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to have a solid all around condenser microphone in their home studio. :)

:)

I have quite a few dynamic and condenser microphones at various price points (some well above this price point), but I wanted the NT2A strictly for it's optional Figure8 pickup pattern as a side microphone in a mid-side stereo recording array. Absolute tonal quality was therefore not vital to me.

Having previously owned Rode's slightly cheaper fixed cardioid NT1A microphone, I was expecting the NT2A to exhibit a similar sonic characteristic... i.e. sibilant, overly bright and difficult to use in an untreated room, but with the added convenience of 3 selectable pickup patterns.

Well I can tell you the NT1A and NT2A are different animals, and irrespective of the added features the NT2A is a much better microphone.

Used in cardioid mode as a vocal mike, it is much more natural sounding than the NT1A and does not exhibit any of the sane excess sibilance or 'hyped' top end.

I put it up against my more expensive Shure KSM32 (a £500+ single pattern microphone) and it did not disgrace itself. In fact it sounded better in some circumstances.

With it's selectable pickup patterns, great sound quality, and bundled cable and shock mount for £209 all in (at the time I purchased it), The Rode NT2A studio pack is really great value.

If I'd discovered this model earlier, I probably would've saved a small fortune by not buying much more expensive models from other manufacturers.

Any downsides? Not really. However a word of advice to novice recording artists... if you need to maximise subject isolation in an untreated room, you might be better off with a good dynamic model (e.g. Shure's excellent SM7B) as they tend to pick up less of the room.... just be aware that if you go that route you'll need a pre-amp with at least 60db of clean gain. The NT2A does well off more modest pre amps.

A good condensner.

perfect for vocals and acoustic guitars!

good features for getting the maximum out of the mic.

MEGA BOM

Comparando com o Microphone que tinha este é um dalto em toda a linha, uma renovação na minha captação, Rode da uma clareza e veio certamente melhorar a minha qualidade.

Fantastic asset in the studio

Working with this mic is a real pleasure.

I use it with a line 6 studio ux2 with pro tools and the results are immediate.

Nicely defined high end but also good results in the mid and low range.

Great for recording acoustic guitars and vocals. Also use it for some voice over. This is the best 300¤ Ive spent in a very long time. I'd make that purchase again eyes closed.

For the money its remarkable

For the price, this microphone is simply exceptional. My room is now the problem, but I can still get great quality vocals and acoustic guitar. I will probably buy a second one to pick up on sounds from the neck of the guitar.

Great Microphone for an recording setup.

I've used it a few times for voice work and the sensitivity of the unit is simply outstanding. We were recording in a very remote area of West Cork and still picking up tractor noise 500m away. It took me a while to figure out what the noise was until I saw my neighbour arrive at the top of our driveway. :)

The sound is very warm and the unit didn't add any unwanted additional colour to what we were recording.

My daughter has also used it a few times with her musician pals without a hitch which is great since the unit is so easy to set up and use.

I've just also bought a Rode Camera Mic recently and am looking forward to trying that out.

I'm a fan.
