Per Tom's request, here are sound files using my virgin mike, the Shure SM 57 and my latest acquisition, the Rodes NT1-A.....anyone interested in comparing the sound difference, listen away!

They both sound good actually. I really like the Rode tho. Has a warmer, richer sound to it. Thanks Rob.

I agree with Tom.

The Shure mic is very good, but because your voice is naturally very crisp (that's a good thing, in my opinion) you don't need the enhancement inherent in the Shure. The Rode keeps the clarity and crispness of your voice and adds a fullness and richness which is a very nice enhancement.

Yep, the Rode wins!
Wow! Sanka. I've not thought of that in forever, or at least since I became a coffee snob.

I like the Rode better too.

And I've always hated Sanka. Wink

I am a non-caffeine purist, which means I don't even drink decaf because it has a small amount of caffeine in it...so fortunately I don't have to suffer through Sanka anymore....the copy was given to me by one of my VO coaches. I think it must be from the 80s or something. It's for a TV spot.

I definitely think the Rodes sounds better, for my voice anyway. The Shure might be better for me if I need to sound younger for some reason.
