Hi Andrew and well spotted yes its a Rode NT1A. Only other mics I have a dynamic so the Rode gives me a different overall characteristic. I find it slightly less harsh at frequency extremes than the shure sm58 but also more picky about where it's sited and isolated. I found that it needs to sit slightly off axis and, for me, about 1 metre back from the speakers - too close and it gets mushy wiht a bit of sibliance . It's also picky about the direction of the cardioid - gold spot on the mic casing faces speaker for me. Other way round volume and frequency range drop. Both of them together fattens up the sound into my desk nicely. Let us know more about the K2 - i'm considering getting a new mic so I'd be v interested . Cheers, Tony All I can say is that it is amazing I was stunned by the step up from a reasonable dynamic mike (SM58) to the NT1-A, and expected that due to diminishing rteurns there wouldn't be as big a difference between the NT1-A and the K2, but man I was wrong! I think a big part of it is the fact that it has an omni parttern rather than cardoid - cardoid mikes use baffles to direct the airflow and get the desired response pattern, and I think that makes the sound a little ... restricted (hard to explain until you have heard the K2). The K2 has a wonderful open, unrestricted clarity to it that the NT1A just can't match, in part due to the omni pattern but also I think the valve circuitry does make a difference. The K2 is the first mic I ever recorded myself singing with that didn't make me wince when I played it back Works great on vocals and on Acoustic guitar if you take the time to find the sweet spot - never tried it for miking an Amp though.

I'm moving into making my own gear these days, I'm trying to get serious with my playing by practicing to the metronome etc, but I also want to know my equiptment inside and out, so what better way than to build it yourself? There's quite a bit of info out there on the net for anyone else looking to do the same thing.
Heres the amp I finished about a year back my tonebender copy I'm currently waiting on my warmoth guitar parts to come so I can assemble and set up my own guitar. I currently play a usa strat, and I've always liked strats but I want something that sounds a bit warmer than the guitar I currently have, so I've gone for black korina body and mahogany neck, cbs style headstock and all natural finish with gold hardware and a couple of gibson '57 classic pups. can't wait If your interested in hearing what it all sounds like you can check out my ex-band over here www.myspace.com/parmavioletsband -Adam Bradley This post has been edited by AdamB: Aug 6 2007, 10:06 PM |

Is it a tube amp? Maybe I'll build one too - I built a solid state 75W combo when I was a kid ... any links for decent tube amp designs? -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
