Review: Really good mic for recording acoustic guitar - The mic works great with the focusrite solo I also tried the mic with the behringer umc22 interface and also worked well. High volume on play back. Have the mic on a boom about half a meter away from guitar on 95% recording volume I found this to be the sweet spot for the mic. I'm using Audacity audio software. Really good microphone.
Review: One of the best I have ever used - This is one beast of a mic but what a beautiful warm sound. Well built, complete with a mic mount and dust cover (and carriage screw), this is one really nice looking and nice sounding mic. If I have anything to say in terms of improvement... why at over £400 can't they provide an aluminium carry case for this? the box it comes in is very nice, heavy and very fancy but I would sooner have that money spend on a decent protective case - just a thought.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do I connect this to a pc?**
A: You need to have some sort of interface which coincides with the DAW you are utilizing. Focus rite or universal audio units are popular, but there are countless ones that work just as well based on personal preference and budget. Hook up via XLR cable and you’re good to go. No need for phantom power because the tube mic comes with its on preamp.

**Q: I bought a used k2 here and the cardio pattern does not work! if i put it in omni, then the back of the mic picks up.   anyone seen this? lemon?**
A: Sounds like a fault to me....They are built like a tank so try and swop the power supply to see if that is the problem.

**Q: Does it still need phantom power supply even with its own power supply unit?**
A: No it doesn't.

**Q: Is this a large diaphragm microphone?**
A: Yes, this is a large diaphragm condenser. It has it's own power supply, so it doesn't require phantom power. I believe it is a C12 type of capsule.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best I have ever used
*by J***E on 23 December 2019*

This is one beast of a mic but what a beautiful warm sound. Well built, complete with a mic mount and dust cover (and carriage screw), this is one really nice looking and nice sounding mic.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top quality broadcast microphone
*by B***O on 29 May 2014*

As a broadcaster, this is up there with the best microphones - and this NT1000 is far superior than the similarly priced, but poorer (I'm my opinion) Rode NT1A, which tend to come in attractively bundled extras. Forget the extras, get a top quality mic first, and this is it. Of course, the sound all comes down to the acoustics in your room/ studio - and any pre-and post EQ settings you use via your mixer, but this is the mic of choice!
