"Don Pearce Congenital LIAR"

The capsule of the NT1-A (unlike that of the NT1) is entirely
Australian made.


** Oh really ??????

And you know that how ?????


As for vocals - well you would not use it for stage
work with your mouth buried in it, but from six inches away behind a
pop shield (as you would use it in a studio), it is an exceedingly
good vocal mic.


** So it is a fragile, studio condenser mic - with all that implies.

And all if it unknown to the OP.


** I am particularly familiar with that mic and know
personally the folk who make it - ie the Freedmans
of Sydney, Australia.

How the company started out is a matter of neither interest nor
importance.


** That is a WRONG opinion you get to keep.


What matters is right now they are manufacturing the state
of the art.


** Yawnnnnnnnnn...

There is lot more "fart" than "art" in any Rode mic.
