I have no personal experience of that particular mic, but I trust Rode to produce good kit. YMMV. _________________________ Si hoc legere scis, nimium eruditionis habes.

It's a bit noisy compared to, say, an AKG414. But the 414 is over £400 quid. I think the AKG C3000 is also a good condenser mic for the price. I've used all of these mics for spoken word recording. Edit: The new adverts for the Rode NT1 claim that the "new model" is very quiet. I'd expect that we have the older versions here. http://www.dv247.com/invt/10229/ Edited by Annoying Twit (23/06/08 07:34 AM)

I've had one for a while and use it for everything that doesn't plug in (vocals, blues harp, sax, etc.). Needs a battery ... Canford do a replacement, or you can series-stack calculator batteries to provide the necessary 6 volts. Best mic I've got reproduction-wise so worth a look. Not made since 1992-ish so s/h the most likely option. _________________________ It ain't the blues unless you're an eighty year old ethnic person in a suit ... and you slept in it! http://www.soundclick.com/rojalesbluesband

I've had good results with it anyhow. Bill leader (google him, he know a thing or two) recommended a load of SE Electronics mics for both vocals and acoustic instruments.

The producer said it was about £40, which would probably indicate that mic as well. _________________________ PSN: stickyfiddle
