Default Decent cheap mic for vocal studio use

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



** Oh really ??????

And you know that how ?????


I've been told by a source I believe rather more than I do you.


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.


That's right. What do you imagine vocalists use in studios? Have you
ever been in a studio? Have you even seen a picture? Vocalists use
(99% of the time) a large diaphragm condensor coupled with a pop
filter.


** 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.

Thank you for your kind permission.
