i've been waiting to get my hands on a matched pair of SDCs for a while, but haven't been able to get anything yet due to my inability to choose a set and/or a budget. i think i've pretty much narrowed my pricerange down and i've gotten 2 sets of mics that i've looked at: se electronics se1a and RODE nt5. has anyone used these sets before that can offer some advice on what i should pick up?

Which would you rather go for, they are basically the same price around $400 for a pair?

Any have them or used both?

Will be using them for drum OH's and acoustic instruments.

Hi ppl...

First of all, sorry for my bad english, i`m brazilian and i`ll try my best here!

I got a pair of NT5's and the other day i muted the 2 channels i wanted to connect them to, then i connected them, and then i turned the phantom power on and what i got was a trip back to the retailer where i got them and they traded them out for a new pair.

i know this topic has probably been done before but...
...i'm in the market for a set of small diaphram condensor mics to work as overheads/acoustic guitar/etc and looking to get a pair.
are the RODE nt5's a good starting point? if not, can i get any suggestions on other mics in this price range that'll do just as well? thanks.

Does anyone have comparison advise for these two condenser mics? I am looking for a pair, mainly to mic upright piano. As I live in Australia it is cheaper for me to buy NT5s though the reviews I have read seem to favour the MK012s.

i was wondering what would be better for recording cymbals the nt4 or the nt5

looking to purchase a pair of small condensers for Micing overheads and acoustic guitar - which pair would you choose, and why - or is there another pair in this price range that you'd recommend? thanks,

brandon

how do the RODE NT5 condensers fare as drum kit overhead mics?

Hey Kurt.
You recently mentioned the Studio Project C4s in a different post. I was curious to get your opinion on how they compared to the RODE NT5s...on acoustic guitar, for example.
