Rode Ntk Valve Studio Condenser Microphone

Love the Rode NTG-1 Condenser Microphone. I use it with my Canon Mark 2

I am using the Rode VXLR+ to connect an inexpensive plug-in-power (condenser) lavalier microphone (with male TRS jack) to my (female XLR) microphone pre-amp on a desktop mixer. The main objective was to circumvent the built in mic on my laptop when I am on web meetings. All I can say is Wow! Everyone says I sound crisp, clear, loud without distortion, and there is no external distracting noise coming through. I used this setup to make a recording of my voice and I was floored. This is a high quality connector with robust input and output jacks and delivers. I expect this product to last a lifetime. As always, B&H ordering, follow through and delivery was fast and flawless.

The Rode NTG 2 became my outdoor mic to compliment my Oktava mod MK12 condenser microphone. It has performed well and with it's battery power, can plug right into my iPhone4 (with the right cable) for quickly recording some foley in a pinch.

I have a RODE NT-1 Condenser microphone, which is a very good microphone, with a very nice sound for human voices. However, I was having to use the NT-1 in a room that is not sound proof and the NT-1 is VERY sensitive to background noises. After much research I decided to order the Shure SM7B and I am very pleased. I combined the SM7B with a FetHead inline preamp feeding into my RODECaster Pro. The signal is very clean, dramatic drop in background noise pickup, and the SM7B has a superb sound for voices. Add in the form factor on a boom arm is much less intrusive in front of the face than the NT-1 with the pop filter in place is and it makes using the SM7B much nicer when the camera is turned on. All in all a very positive purchase, would not hesitate getting a second (or third) SM7B if I needed to do a multi person web cast, or recording.

I bought a I bought a Rode smartLav+  Lavalier Condenser Microphone for Smartphones and this plug was needed to connect the microphone to the smartphone. (I believe these plugs come with the Smart phones but who can remember where you put it?) Just buy it and make your life simpler. Recommend both of these items together. Great for video posts. Thank you B&H for your excellent suggestions.

I use it with vocals an acoustic guitars, usually with a Neumann TLM49 or Rode NTK.I love the warmth of the tubes in the preamp. The eq is outstanding. The compressor section is very nice, but a little tricky because the attack and release times are a little bit slow and tends to sound too transparent. I compress a lot the vocals and bass and I really like the sound of the optical compressors. If you are good sound engineer an musician, Youll love it.

Clarity is key, it is one of the closest solutions you can find without purchasing a studio condenser microphone, yet it does have the ability to host such a microphone if necessary in production. Pure genius!!!

Looks as professional as you can get when coupled with the C01U Studio Condenser Microphone. Perfect for digital vocal recording.

Sturdy microphone stand purchased to hold a heavy condenser microphone in a studio environment. Gets the job done, and as a 5'8 guy, it is able to adjust to a great height for recording vocals while standing.

connecting the condenser microphone, quite functional
