Saved up some money over the holidays and am looking for a brand new Large diaphragm Mic to complement my studio gear. Looking for something around $200-$500 (this is Us $) with a freq. range of 20hz. to 20Khz. that'll go well with my 57 backing up guitar amps. Something along lines of Rode Nt 1.?
Any suggestions or reviews?

Feb 17, 2005 12:32 am I think mostly Instruments, but I would like to record some vocals.
Mostly Rock/pop/blues apllications
Feb 17, 2005 07:03 am ya can't go wrong with the Rode NT1A
Feb 17, 2005 07:34 am I hear this often....I have the B1 but I think I will be getting me a NT1 at some point in the future...
Sounds like a nifty little mic for sure.

Feb 17, 2005 08:59 am Yup yup, The NT1 is a great 'all around' mic. I have two and love them. A little crisp on the top end but beyond that very little coloration. The NT1 is a great 'first large diaphram' mic for any studio as it will find a place in the mic closet with the most expensive mics as time goes by. It's lack of color makes it a keeper. And with some eq, tube warming, etc. it can model a lot of mics really well. Later down the road when you start booking Whitney Houston, Erykah Badu, and Barbra Stristand you can pick up a Neuman or a Blue and let them pay for it!
Feb 17, 2005 05:26 pm Hey coco, do you like the qualities of the B1 mic.? This is also another possibility Im looking into.
Well thanks Presley and walt, im definitely leaning towards the NT 1 at the mo'
Walt, how does the Senheiser range of dynamic mics pair up against the SM 57?
Cheers

Feb 17, 2005 05:33 pm Aye...and I'll tell ye this - for the money - its class man! Ye canny whack the Behringer gear.
I am due to post a wee collab soon (more details later) I recorded all vox on it with the B1, so, ye can hear it for yerself.
But aye, its sweet. Presley used it on a lot recordings too and his stuff sounded excellent. Its warm and sweet...aye - good mic. Also, if ye get a cheaper mic like the B1, leaves ye more cash for more stuff (I bought a cheaky wee Virtualizer with the dosh I saved!! Niceeee).

Feb 17, 2005 05:43 pm Thanks coco, looking at the reviews im probably leaning towards the NT 1 at the moment.
Does any body know if there is any "super" diff. between the qualities of the NT1 and say the NT 1000 (which has a super flat frequency response!)?
Feb 17, 2005 09:46 pm Oh and hoorah for my neeeewwwww RODE NT 1.
Feb 17, 2005 10:44 pm Colonel,
Great choice!
The Sennheiser E835 Vocal is head to head with the 57/58 line. Some folks like the Sennheisers a little better, others prefer the Shure. Real close race.
Feb 17, 2005 11:16 pm So what about you walt? Do you like the shure or the sennheiser ranges? And what are the differences?
