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.

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?
