Bought this to replace my elderly and now dead Rode NT1-A. Ordered and it arrived to my house in the Scottish Highlands (But still Mainland UK) very quickly.
Opened the box and everything was packed extremely well, with no possibility of any sort of damage.
Needed this in the studio, and tried it out and it sounds a little better than the NT1-A. Having the included shock mount was a bonus, and it has certainly changed from earlier ones, this one seems to eliminate more vibrations from the mic stand.
The Mic is definately worth the money paid.
Then we have the bonus of being able to plug in the INCLUDED USB-C cable into the Mic and my MacBook, and use it without an audio interface, meaning if I want to quickly sketch a song while I am out and about, I have one less item (audio interface) to carry with me. Perfect.
Looking for a capable Mic for singing, cab miking, or even overheads? This may be the microphone for you.
