Review on Rode NT5-MP: Exceptional Compact Cardioid Condenser Microphones - Perfectly Matched Pair by Joseph Winfrey

All that came to my house was a microphone box. Revain usually packs well and items come in an Amazon box/sleeve for extra protection (even if the product already has a box). was. I usually order audio equipment through Freshwater because I've never had problems like this before. Also, the mic is new, apparently because the warranty expired when I installed it. It just worries me when I buy a new mic and receive a package that looks like it has been returned or has been lying around somewhere for a very long time. I recommend buying this mic from Sweetwater to avoid such problems. Update: I received another one from Amazon, this time well packaged in a brand new box. At the moment I use 2 microphones NT5 for acoustics and Rode NT1A for vocals. The sound I get is amazing. The only plugin I use is some reverb. I'm just a little eq. Rode microphones are very high quality. If you are in a home studio. These are the only small diaphragm microphones you will ever need. Every Rode microphone comes with a 10-year warranty upon registration on Rode.com. That alone justifies the price. Most other brands give a 2-3 year warranty at best.
