I am selling my Rode NTK with shock mount. It puts too much bass on my voice. I've had it for about 3 years but only used it two or three times. I would like to get $350 for it. Make me an offer. Here is a picture: http://www.buymyvoice.com/pictures/IMG_1207.JPG

What kind of preamp are you using for your NTK?

The Rode NTK is not everybody's cup of tea, but I've made literally tens of thousands of dollars using mine over the years. It's a good quality mic, but needs a decent preamp like any good mic.

I don't know the seller, but $350 is a pretty darn good deal for a mint quality Rode NTK. You can also upgrade the tube for another $40-100 and make it a lot better.

That's my unsolicited 2 cents!

Hi Tom,

I've been using the NTK straight into my Digi002 the few times I used it.

Not personally familiar with the Digi002, but it certainly qualifies as a high-quality piece of gear. So it must be that the NTK is just not a good match for your voice. Funny how that works sometimes.

A month or so ago, I did a shootout here comparing my NTK with a Neumann TLM-103 and a Neumann TLM-49 I was thinking of buying. The -49 was the most expensive of the lot and has a good reputation, but the consensus seemed to be that the NTK was preferred by most, the -49 the least.

Your NTK should find a good home somewhere!

Bernard:
Maybe EBAY is the place to sell it, here's what they've sold for.

Otherwise, just be patient. Someone will eventually want it. There are two used NTK's on Craigslist here in LA right now for the same price you are asking.

I like mine otherwise I'd probably buy yerz Smile
Play around with your eq. Maybe add more hi end or reduce the lows or a combo?
Try not using the preamp.. Just thinkin outloud.

I seem to recall that mic also had a JAN tube added as well.

Maybe try it with the Rode supplied tube? They tend to be a little more hi-mid'y. Email with a request...they'll send one no charge.
