The Best Beginner Studio Mic?, Rode NT 2a Options

[drewott]

Hi everybody! <said like dr. nick from the simpsons>

I've been doing a little bit of research on studio mic's and I think I have found a winner, but I would like you'all's input if you have any.

The Rode NT 2a seems versatile between the on-mic settings and any eq'ing done after the recording. My concern is that I know little about the company and quality of product. I am sure it's no chinese piece o' crap, but am unsure about it.

The goal is to buy 1 mic that can be used as a jack of all trades.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Thanks in advance for responding. Cheers!

I have 2 of the NT2's, and they are totally fantastic. For the money, I do not think that you cannot find a better universal mic for recording audio tracks. I have an Rhodes NTK , but many times revert back to the NT2's for the sound that I need.
