My Rode NT1a sat in the mic cabinet for over a year due to sibilance issues on vocals. I also ended up using other mics for other applications simply because I like them better on those instruments.
That has all changed now after getting my mic back from the
"Michael Joly mod on the Rode NT1a!" On vocals the sibilance is
gone! No more rushing to a de-esser. What really amazes me about this mod is the amount of detail that the mic captures! I haven't found anything that I wouldn't use it on now. In fact, I can now sell three of my mics that are really no longer of use! So, my NT1a went from a "not being used mic" to a "go to" after the mod. A complete transformation. Best money ever spent. Worth every penny.
