Fantastic ... 1 1

On the company Rode I became aware through the M2 several years ago, which I used during an appearance and has very promised me compared to a Shure-competitive product.

When I was now looking for a decent microphone for home use, I became very quickly aware of the NT-USB microphone on very positive reviews and have ordered it directly in memory of the M2.

Rein of the workmanship could it probably abuse as a projectile, without that it would it go wrong, the NT-USB in fact seems to have been built for a long period of use, that is in times of planned obsolescence is actually a rarity and it's fun to work with a high quality product. Hard it is to do so.

The stand makes unfortunately a less good impression, he holds the mic safe but wobbles very strong at the slightest movement, and does not give the impression of being together with the microphone old when I but anyway fixed primarily on an arm at the desk have, that's not so tragic.

The pop filter do his job well, he can be attached nicely and looks dibasic.

The built-in USB sound card works great, whether on Windows or Linux, there were no problems with the establishment or recognition, even when going through a VM and the simultaneous use of guest and host system worked flawlessly.

The sound is gigantic, a noise is practically inaudible, even through headphones Assuming no noise true even vibration or slight movements of the microphone during recording can not be located in the final product.

Because my voice usually moves in deep pitches, it is difficult to find a microphone that does a good job here, especially bad experiences have I done with the class leader Neumann, he just did to "scope".
When Rode is different, the low frequencies are perfectly captured, you can hear every sound crystal clear and the sound of the voice is taken very extensively, you should therefore give up excessive EQing because so that the result can sometimes sound worse.

Even when recording acoustic guitars makes the NT-USB a great figure, the broad frequency response captures spatial sound of acoustic guitars a great for the higher notes could extend even to a special instrument microphone to make it sound the result of brilliant.

Even the 6m-USB cable is handy for shooting on the go, even if I have in the standard position it replaces with me by a shorter.

I would like to highlight the monitoring function, this works without any delay and is very precise.

Ingsgesamt I can every singer / speaker only guess the Rode NT-USB, or to try it, of course, preferred here each a very unique sound, but there is for me in this price range is nothing better.
