nt2-a capsule

[Max]

I really liked the sound of the nt1-a and was planning to buy one.
However I saw the nt2-a and the extra omni pattern and was wondering
if the nt2-a cardioid sounds as good as the 1-a. If anyone could
comment or has a mic comparison that would be great.

I'm sure the NT2A is a generally better mic than the NT1A. The only
exception would be if the NT1A does some magic with your voice (or some
other particular thing you're recording) that doesn't happen with other
mics.

The NT1A is an exceptionally low noise mic, so if you're recording
something very quiet from a distance, that could be useful.

The NT2A is a significantly different capsule and sound. The capsule is the
same as in the K2, and that seems less peaky and most extended at both ends.

I put a pair of the NT1's up as overheads in place of
MXL 603S's and I am really liking them.

You can hear one on male vox on a project I mixed at www .myspace.com/
borrowedtimerecords.

Also used as room mic when tracking drums on this project.
