Post HNMD! Rode NTK with a nice old t00b.
:nods: Rode NTK with a NOS Tesla 6922. And all the accessories. (Box, shockmount, PSU, cables, etc.) Ships out tomorrow morning.

From what I gather the NTK is very sensitive to tube swaps, and the top end can be a love-it-or-hate-it thing. With a nice proper tube in there, it seems like it's worth a shot for making big glossysounds. :D

Tube mics is fancypants. Now you will have redundant stocks of them. :panic:

You will be in good shape for the pants apocalypse though. The fancy ones will skyrocket in value.

EEEEeeennnteresting.

I'm curious to see what yer take on that critter is. i've thought of trying the tube route a bajillion times (especially recording gals a lot lately.. )-- but hadn't had the opprotunity.

i'd heard similarly that NTKs were sometimes super oresome, and others too bright as well.. eagerly awaiting news. ntks when they're loved seem to be decent value!

happahappanewmicday!

FedEx says this was in Maryland circa 6 AM yesterday and claims it should be here today. Took its sweet time, it did.

I want to know if you can overdrive the tube without destroying the mic. :nods:

Huh. I don't know. I suspect not as the specs say 1% THD @ 158 dB SPL. I have no fucking clue how I'd manage to get 158 dB. :shock:

I brought my Shure home to make some comparison clips, and I may be recording at my friend's place tomorrow. We'll see. So I may have the opportunity to stick it on a cab or in front of a drum kit.

I mean of course, in general. But also: a cannon would probably provide the recording volumes required.

Well, that goes without saying. A round of grapeshot off the port bow, or something.

Here's a test of the emergency broadcast system. Or, rather, me throwing down some halfass clip of Concrete Blonde's Bloodletting with an acoustic.

NTK for both the acoustic and the vocals. Overdubbed, not at once. No compression or EQ or anything at all.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13184331/BLOODLETTING_NTK_test.mp3

And with a bit of compression and EQ:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13184331/BLOODLETTING_NTK_testCOMP%2BE.mp3

Waves API 550B for EQ, Waves CLA 1176 for compression.

That thing would make an epic room mic for just about anything. So natural sounding.

It's pretty spiffy sounding. Not much on the EQ on the EQ'd version; +2 dB @ 20khz on both along with a -4 low shelf @ 40hz. +2 dB @ 3khz on the acoustic, -2 @ 8khz on the vocal.
