The bestseller with expensive accessories

--8th. April 2015
The microphone ISTT arrived now, I've just connected: I have it with the XLR cable to my DBX 286s, then with another XLR cable to a Behringer XENYX 802USB and then connected with a last XLR cable to my PC. I have made the first test recording and am thrilled completely. The sound is incredibly clear (I had a cheap China-microphone, the difference has me so blown away), the voice is clear and no incredible bass sound (by that I mean that the sound is not too dark).

I had been looking for a good microphone for recording YouTube, and I thought that everything would be okay to 200. This microphone was therefore in the budget there.

The downside to the Røde NT1-A is that it requires phantom power. There are the Behringer XENYX 302USB 502USB and that each cost 50, however, these only !! 15V phantom power !! The NT1-A but needs 48V, so you come to the consoles from 100+ not around. There is the opportunity to buy a phantom power adapter (for example, the Pronomic P2 for 19,90) but these have a wrong connection and do not fit into the mixer!

There is one last possibility: the Rode NTUSB you can buy (10 cheaper), it has an integrated audio interface, which means you do not need a mixer! The sound quality is in my opinion the same, but as I could read with reference to several reviews, is there more plastic than metal, so I prefer this Røde ago. Luckily I had already these two consoles, so it was no problem.

## I will soon make an update, if my program Audacity recognizes the microphone and then how it sounds in the video (after rendering, etc.)
