Rode NT-USB - Pros & Cons

durable and feel well-built
the design of the microphone is extremely nice
build-quality to match
NT-USB performs admirably
solid steel chassis of the NT-USB Mini gives it a marvelous heft
sound quality is decent and it works consistently
The plastic and metal construction feel good in the hand
an all-matte black and a clean design overall
compact size
affordability and audio quality
a significantly better capsule
solid controls and standard thread
It sounds very natural
clear and transparent
well-fitted pop shield and a decent mount
The Rode is easy to use for voiceovers
The components just fit together really nicely
Great out-of-box functionality with all the accessories
very well-built and sleekly designed
Installation is very straightforward
it looks pretty awesome and just oozes confidence
fantastic capsule combined with a great digital package
a quality aluminum and features impeccable attention to detail

only one directivity and no proprietary software
most of this equipment is made of plastic and can appear rather fragile
There s no pad or roll-off switch
tripod is a little too short to use as a desktop microphone
the audio signal itself is not EQed or dynamically compressed
lack of a gain knob-are a bit less
frustrating trying to prop up the microphone with books and boxes
control the gain via the knob like you can on other mics
flat non-adjustable base makes
limited control options and static stand makes its on-the-
a door opening down the hallway was also being recorded
Rode does not include a carrying case
the built-in headphone monitoring jack
single polar pattern and slightly unsteady tripod bring
the desktop stand it comes with is not collapsible
Stand does not fold and fit in case
there is no gain adjustment on the mic itself
The USB-Mini does not require an external power supply or drivers
not just buying a microphone
There are no corners cut
and not a single penny pinched
Flimsy control buttons on Blue Yeti have caused a lot of replacements
the price on amazon went nuts
Rode NT-USB is also less susceptible to vibration noise
Yeti still takes 1st place in the USB world
The monitor is quite loud especially on the highest setting
it s not only made for vocals
it isn t a USB microphone
It s hard to tell what is the front of the microphone
