| A heavy handed, highly colored mic that might just be the fit I have an NT1A. It was my second LDC. The first was a cheapo Samson C01. This is a very bright microphone, often, you'll need to use a desser.
The irony though is that for certain very low bass male vocals, this is the perfect fit along with the occasional female soprano.
It's also one of the better mics in the price range. It's only cardioid so you're not going to do a ton of different things but I like to point it at a hard wall and catch room ambiance for guitars and singers.
You're not going to love it on acoustic guitar, it's a little too top-end heavy for this application unless you're looking for the string-meets pick sound to be extremely prominent.
Extremely quiet and ultra-sensitive. It's hard to beat at the price point, then again, it's also in a price point where a little more goes a LOT farther. Not a bad mic, works well on voice overs specifically without getting overly boomy. |
