Product information

General

If you have any knowledge about studio microphones, you´ll instantly recognise the Rode NTR for a special model. It is a carefully designed ribbon microphone! Most ribbon microphones are not clear and detailed enough for professionals. The NTR is different, however, as it accurately picks up your vocals and provides excellent reproductions of higher frequencies, so that you can register sources that would usually require a more sensitive microphone capsule.

NTR: top-quality studio microphone

Every part of the NTR is designed and made in Rode's own factory, in Sydney, Australia, so that top quality can be guaranteed! This ribbon microphone with matte black finish can also be used in professional recording studios and concert halls. Of course, the home studio is also a suitable spot for the NTR. Connect it to a mixer, preamp or interface that provides 48 volts of phantom power and you can get started! Thanks to the active electronics, the powerful gain that is needed for many other ribbons isn't required.

Super-thin ribbon

The NTR features one of the thinnest ribbon elements in the world - only 1.8 microns thick. It was selected to allow for the highest possible sensitivity over the entire frequency response. Furthermore, this isn't a handmade element, it has been carved out via laser technology. This way, ragged edges are prevented, resulting in a longer life span. The mic's internal shockmount is so good, that you needn't use an external one.

Rode NTR ribbon studio microphone

NTR arrivé a la maison ! déballage et belle surprise , il est encore plus beau en vrai ... massif et lourd , il inspire immédiatement la qualité !

passons on son : je le joint a un neumann u87 pour une prise de voix en studio. En premier lieu la sensibilité et quasi la même que le u87 ! mais la comparaison s arrête ici ! Niveau son , c est incomparable ! beaucoup plus doux et velouté qu un u87. Certains dirons moins chirurgical ! qu importe on achète un micro pour son caractère et a coup sur ce NTR n en manque pas . Je dirais qu il est trés important de lui donner un bon preampli micro pour en tirer la quintessence ! dans mon cas il a fait merveille avec le neve 1073 et c est révélé redoutable sur un tonelux ! en toute franchise , je commence a aimer ce micro car il est atypique ! préférez lui des prises de son sans gros déplacement d air .... évidement il n est pas fait pour repiquer une grosse caisse mais soyez en sur il fera merveille si vous cherchez de ne pas ressembler aux autre et de donner une signature sonore différente a vos pistes ! bref je l adore déja !!!!!!

Rode NTR ribbon studio microphone

Prachtig concept en heel degelijk gebouwd.

Geeft een heerlijk warme klant. Vergeleken met condensors en andere ribbonmics. Hoorbaar verschil.

Delicaat in het gebruik. Bij het transport moet de schroef bovenaan vast zitten, of je membraan schokt mee.

Rode NTR ribbon studio microphone

Een erg degelijk gebouwde, zeer dik en natuurlijk klinkende ribbon microfoon.
Al jaren ben ik op zoek naar een betaalbare ribbon mic om trompet mee op te nemen.
Deze microfoon klinkt minstens zo goed als Coles of Royer mic's.
Het kan flinke volumes aan en heeft een groot frequentie bereik. Het laag klinkt heel vol (ook van meer afstand tot de geluidsbron) maar heeft veel definitie. Het hoog klinkt mooi vol en rond, zeker niet schel.
Aanrader!
