Turn the NT2A's switches to Cardioid, No pad and remove impendence options. You've got yourself an Nt1
Outof the NT1 & P420, definitely the NT1 anyday! Out of the NT1 & 440, definitely the NT1! Out of the NT1 & the NT2A, the 2A has a bit more colour and punch to it, but I still prefer the NT1’s somewhat neutral sounding tonality, the NT1 wins! Hah!!!
I love my NT1. In a treated room, it is absolutely fabulous.
It is one hell of a mic...ill give you that
Good video - good style --- I have both these mics and they are both quite excellent.
Djed a marathon drunken karaoke night (6hrs). However got a rode nt2a, a ddj sx, and a rode mic arm for my time. Best payday i ever got. Amazing mic. So sensitive it will pick up your thoughts.
What would you reccomend for recording and testing audio equipment?
My favorite is NT2, brighter than Nt1, darker than Nt2-a, just in between, just how i like it. Too bad it discontinued but still i have one.
Thanks mate
The NT2A seemed to capture that little bit of extra bass in your voice I feel...maybe I'm hearing things or maybe it is too subtle to make a difference but I feel it did pick that up a little bit better.
Yes NT2A is a little bit more mid forward cm. NT1 is a bakanced microphone.
Actually NT2A is basaay. NTI is best for budget.
I am a singer and voice over artist. Which one should I prefer Rode NT1 or Rode NT2A? Budget for buying any mic is OK for me.
I like the NT2a.
The difference in sound is subtle, but I kinda like the 2A better. I have the NT1, good mic, never been in love with it.
I have an old MXL 3000 I think sounds much better than the NT1, weirdly, but the noise floor on that baby is 19! Something about the 2A seems a wee bit more premium, both in sound and build. I read somewhere that the build of the 2A is more robust, using a brass body (I could be wrong), which you hardly see anymore. The NT1 body is aluminum, so at least not pot metal.
LOL amazing podcastage sticker reference
Would you choose the NT1 4th generation same today after 2 years uploading this video or do you think there is actual other better mic as the NT1? I got a new Rode NT1 Signature Series for test and I was really disappointed how many EQ I must level in later in post to bring it sound smooth…
Dollar for dollar...I don't think there is a better .ic than the NT1...
And with the new signature so cheap...it is hard to argue
the rode is good but even better once you get the steadman metal pop filter
Nt2A is way more crisp.. NT1 is smoother. I bought NT1 for flute recordings, although their price is almost the same in my country.
I do think the NT2A sounds better than all of them, especially on your voice!
Excellent review and nice video making! NT2A has more pronounced low and mid than NT1. NT1 seems more natural.
Bhoot junki make a video of Rode nt1 vs at4040...
And he said he like the at4040 more... What do you think of at4040 vs nt1 vs lct440 pure??
❤️❤️❤️
At4040 is better then both… honestly it’s better then any mic under a grand… and for a grand it’s the at4050
The NT1 got a special place in my heart and ears. I use the figure 8 on the nt2a a lot for duets. But for VO the NT1 slaps as the kids say 😂
Great video, thank you
Is that the shock mount/pop filter that came with the NT1? Mine came with a rebranded Rycote and metal pop filter. Looks more like the NT1a mount and pop filter.
!
Wow...where did you buy it?
Yeah...it comes with the Rode shockmount!!
Make sure yours isn't a rip off
@@DarkCornerStudios B&H, fully registered on the Røde site. The mount has apparently been changed in the last couple years. I'd post an image but RUclips no like that. It is an obvious Rycote rebadge with a rectangular two-layer metal pop filter.
BTW, always register large Røde mics on their site. It extends the warranty up to ten years.
!
@@BangsNaughtyBits nice!
Honestly with Rode I have never had issues...even outside of warranty...but nice insurance though
It used to ...but they changed it 🙁💔the metal pop filter is more better cancelling the proximity sound
@@DarkCornerStudios The Rycote Branded Shock mount was what the NT1's used to ship with, then I suppose Rode decided to cut some costs. Any Rycote Rebraded Shock mount would have been earlier new stock
It is officially said by the rode that nt1 is better for recording instruments and nt2a is great for vocals.
Not really a thing anymore.
Mics are mics.
The multiple polar patterns on the nt2a are great for instrumentation....and the NT1 is well known in the voiceover field
@@DarkCornerStudios I used nt1, I felt It has more sharp high end and less natural sound. When the sound recorded, It feels like somebody put a multiband compressors at the very high frequencies
@@DarkCornerStudios I have not tested nt2 yet, but I have ordered it, let me see how does it sound. If they increased the prices, there must definitely be some upgrades and differences.
@@zian3694 Nt2A is way more crisp.. NT1 is smoother. I bought NT1 for flute recordings, although their price is almost the same in my country.
@@mustafaunsoy hehehe, I think you need ear training. NT2 is records almost your real voice. it doesn't add anything to your voice. I have purchased nt2 and tested both nt1 and nt2 and found that nt2 is way batter than nt1. that's why you pay more. I am also excited to test more expensive mics. my next target is tlm 103.
P420 👍🏻 and NT-1 👍🏻
If you consider Buying a entry point Mic. get yourself the Rode NT1 the Sound is so Amazing it does not make sense buying a 500 euro mic get yourself the NT1 Learn to use it properly and then Consider getting a better one. But the Rhode nt1 is just amazing.
NT-1 better for a deep voice?
Why?
Why is nt1 better for bassy voice?
If you look for a mic to compliment the lack of high-end range of your voice then NT2A (and lewitt lct 440 pure) are better options. If you want the mic to embody a detailed image on the mid and lower range of your voice then NT1 is better.
What happened to the tree?
What tree?
Sovix?

NT 2A I ❤Røde
NT 1 mid high microphone
What are you talking about nt2-a being brighter ? Are you deaf or something ? or are you listening on earbuds ?
NT-1 is better for beginners because the low floor
Enjoyed your demonstration 😎. Makes it fun. I like the sound of the nt1.
The Lct 440 definitely adds crispness. I use the lct 440 at least once a day during my work day.
Btw… your intro was hilarious!
Nt2-a in all chapters...
Yeah...NT2A sounds more broadcast ready.
Just play for us man! Forget about the mics. ❤️🙏
Thats comin!!
Stay tuned
Your wife said it all, I have nothing to add.
Lol...she is inspiring
3:04 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾 🎤 😄😄😄
She obviously LOVES all things about microphones
I wouldn’t call that a cheap microphone
Within context...it ACTUALLY is.
For one...this was framed in the context of voice over...which THAT makes it a very cheap microphone.
Also...from the comparison of the midrange mics that I was comparing it to...it was in fact the cheaper of them all.
if you don't talk directly to a cardioid mic you cannot properly test it...
This is a little advice for you, sir. If you are doing comparisons like this video, you really need to pick your conclusive decision of which among the items you are comparing is your choice or the best among them. The reason why people would want to watch comparison videos like this is to know the choice of that video comparison maker. it will help them make choices too or clear doubts. What you did here in this video is clearly making your viewers waste their time. I couldn't believe that you are asking your viewers which of the items you are comparing is better, when it should be that you are the one giving your opinion and decision here because that's the reason why they watched this video. I just hope that you would consider this advice because for example if you would ask me, I would say that you wasted my time here.
No need for advice.
I'm good...
NT1 is best. Only sensitive people know this.
Say what !

Neither. Buy a good microphone.
