I guess Klause feels that some products are inappropriate for his forum, whereas I am curious about everything, especially cheap stuff. But then, that should come as no surprise, since I started out my new life in the recording industry as a "bottom-feeder". |

Anybody still owning an NT1a should try it on bass cab. |

Interesting to read the comments about Klaus' forum, since I get the feeling that I have just shown up at a Porsche Rally in a Honda, when I go there (which is infrequently). I can understand the "high-end only" attitude from a business standpoint -- more income for the least effort -- but I can't help but want to see a little of the hotrod approach. That is, take something somewhat ordinary and turn it into something quite extraordinary -- like a sixty-something Camaro that boasts about 900 horsepower. Surely there must exist a bargain mic that, with a tweak here and there, can deliver a no-excuses pro performance. |

I have noticed Terry Mannings website has a good rave on them so was wondering what others had to say. |

Wow...sounds really good!! How much does a 'Great River' pre sell for and is it a particular model #? Also...do you use an 'expander' to help with making the 'in-betweens' more 'quiet'? |

I've also found suitable voice to use the NT1000 on, but I'm still "searching" with this one... |

I was going to add an "nt" to the text on my RODE mic so that it says "RODENT" for a fun joke... but then realized it already WAS/// (RODENT 2000) .... Now that is a company with a sense of humor! |

Hmmmm It seems this post has been relocated here from Klaus Heynes forum which to me appears like Microphone snobbery. I would much rather an opinion from Klaus than just a removal so I guess maybe he just hasn,t either 1)tried the K2 or Classic 2)dosn't respect Terry Mannings opinion 3)or just hates these mics . Explanation ?? If it matters I own a U87 David Wilson ------------- |

FWIW I dig my NT1. Ive used it alot on vox/cabs. Mine is an original though so maybe thats the difference? |

The NT2 I own does not seem to like my ISA220,x81,x73 mic pres. . |

They did do that on purpose. That's great! And the windscreen for their shotgun mics is named the "Dead Cat." |

I have had my NT 2000 for about a month now (bought new). And I'm loving it. Awesome mic for the price indeed. Great on: Front Of Kit , Over Head, Vocals (male only so far), Bass cab, Djembe, .... Did NOT like it on guitar amps so far (rock music)... |

Check out the NT-6 with the optional awesome little gooseneck extensions. |
rankus wrote on Fri, 17 February 2006 18:59 |
Terry, How would you compare the NT-6 to the Sure [sic] SM81 sonically? ...His argument is that the Sure [sic] will hold value for resale, but the RODE is an unknown.... |

Just be careful about sibilance (too much "ssss"); once it's recorded, it's hard to get it out. Also, keep your recorded levels reasonably low. No need to get too close to the red on any track! If you haven't read it, check out this thread: http://recforums.prosoundweb.com/index.php/t/4918/6490/?SQ=1 04a59a8c184e4203aa47ad706cf3bff It's long, but full of information. Good luck. |
