I were about to buy a new mike a month ago. Then I managed to borrow a Rode
nt1a and an AKG Perception 400 over a weekend from a music store over the
weekend.
The NT1a had a lot of trebble. Like if someone boosted the trebble on the eq
quite a bit. So I think that affected the overall dynamics when we did some
vocal takes with it. SOunded really nice and crispy on steelstring acoustic
guitar though. And then the output from the mike was extremely loud
compaired to other mikes. The input level had to be on the lowest possible
to avoid distortion. I didn't like it so much. Maybe nt2a is better.
I liked the AKG Perception though. Great one for vocals and works quite well
for acousttic guitar and some allround stuff.

Hi Dave,
 
Thanks for the info about Rode microphones, and thanks for mentioning Studio
Project microphones.
Which of the Studio project microphones do you have?
 
I'm using a Shure Beta 87A for my live Shows, it suits my voice well, I just
think I need something a little more studio dedicated for recording.

hi Steve, i really like my NT2A as is good for many uses, and very good for
vocals. Use mine on acoustic guitar, precussion, and even used it on guitar
amp. The NT1A works very well too but NT2A has choice of different paterns
which can be handy. To be honest, think you may want to check out the Studio
Project microphones as well. Used my NT2A exclusively til I bought one of
theirs. Have had many different people use it and all have been amazed and
had to go out and buy one of their own. You can't go wrong with either one
but since I got the Studio Project mic have pretty much just stuck with it
and the NT2A has been in its case for a while. Dave

Hi All,
 
I'm aware that quite a few of the people who post on this forum use Rode
microphones for studio projects.
 
I'd never heard of them until I read about them on this forum, I've since
taken a look at the reviews about Rode on the net, I'm very impressed with
what I read. 
 
I just wondered, which one of the rode studio microphones would you
recommend as the best one for lead vocals and voice-over recordings?
