I do a lot of voice over work for my work and i needed a dedicated mic for my sound booth. I read some reviews and took a shot on this one. I am glad i did. It sounds great. I will definitely look at ROde for future mic purchases.

Purchased this mic based on recommendation from a couple of musicians/studio guys I know. I've done trumpet and vocal tracks with the Rode and it works great for the applications I need. Price is very fair for what you get, and it's made in Australia.

Good but specific

Reviewed by Mihail Grumeza on Guitar Center

I use it for everything from vocals and guitar to using it in mid side recording as the side mic due to its figure 8 pattern that inst too common and comes on much more expensive mics. For the quality and price this is a must. I got it 5 years ago and still use it today.

The first one I ordered had a problem with an internal connection which caused static. GC replaced it with another without any hassle and the new one is perfect.

I have had this mic for a few years now and have yet to get a bad recording out of it. It's versatile, it's reliable and it sounds as good as mics that cost 5 times as much. I would not hesitate to get another one.

Excellent performance at a very reasonable price.

I picked this up to do some ADR on our short film. Simple and great sounding. Is it a Neumann U87? No, but I don't have the $$ to drop on a mic, and the NT2-A is a great mic for the price.
