Rode NT2A-Anybody have any hands on/ears on experience with this mic? Your opinion on this company's mics in general?

 

I have it and love it. Im no mic expert but I think it works beautifully for vocals and with almost no noise.

Id recommend it, you wont find a whole lot better in the price range.

What will you be using it for? Vox, guitar, drums?

 

I have a NT3 and it really works for me. Great bang for the buck. I use it on vocals, hi-hat, guitar amp, and snare successfully at all times. I don't have a great mic collection, but sometimes it gets chosen over my Audiotechnica AT4050 or my Shure SM 81. I don't think you can go wrong with them.

 

Vocals mostly. I think I am going to get a matched pair of something for drum overheads. I want an AKG414 but it is just not within my budget right now.

 

I borrow a friends AT4050 when he lets me. I like it on my voice very much. But If I spring for one of those, I won't be able to afford anything else for a while. I will give Rode mics some serious consideration.

 

Ill tell you save and save and save to get the right mic, try not to budget too much if youre gonna use it a lot.

 

I also own an AT4050. An excellent mic for the price *yes*

 

I went ahead and bought the Rode. Only been playing with it a little while. Just my vocal so far. I'll get my friends AT and do a side by side one of these days and let you know how it stacks up.
