Overview

Large-Diaphragm Condenser Studio Mic for Vocal & Instrument recording

Description

The Rode NTK Microphone is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone which employs Class-A valve circuitry resulting in a warm sonic character. The NTK is designed for vocal and general instrument recording, while providing the sonic character found in higher priced tube microphones. The capsule features a mylar dual diaphragm, sputtered in gold to provide transparent signal reproduction and wide frequency response.

The G.E. 6072 Twin Triode Valve is the core of the NTK's circuitry, providing an analog "warmth" and presence that meets the standards of the most demanding engineers. The microphone features a custom built, Mu-metal transformer developed by Jensen Transformers. The end result is quiet, noise-free output at high gain levels. The NTK features a separate power supply, providing +48 volt phantom power. In addition, variations of cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8 polar patterns provide a total of 9 selectable patterns.

    This is a big boy mic, but I was a bit disappointed about the harsh highs. So after hours of research I found a guy on gearslutz (dot) com... his forum name is BOWIE (profile image is Clint Eastwood) his real name is Christian Whitmore. He ships to New Zealand and he knows his stuff. He suggested replacing the tube with an Amperex Holland 6DJ8. These are pretty neutral, leaning toward warm and smooth. Now you know!
