"Best value mics"

Feature:
Cardioid and an optional omni capsule

Quality:
Satin nickel finish

Value:
Great, paid only £195 for brand new matching stereo pair with sequential number.

Sound:
Bright top end and a bit light at the bottom

Ease of Use:
I always struggled to get the correct polar pattern base cuts positions on my AKG C414, but with NT5s there are no other options, which make these mics very simple to setup.

Support:
An on-line product registration with 10 year warrenty

Overall:
Best value condenser mics with a great sound.

"RODE NT5 for choir"

Quality:
Solid, never give any problem so far. My only complain is the NT5 sticker at the bottom of the mic, easily peeled off.

Value:
I bought a new pair for less than USD 300 (in Singapore). For the price, I think it is hard to beat it. Quality / Price is very good.

Desirability:
Yes, would buy more pairs if needed.

Sound:
Bought a pair of RODE NT5, main purpose is choir miking. Have use it for more than a year, I would say these NT5 sounds very neutral. It is also accurate, so any flat or sharp singer could be easily heard. Tried for vocal as well, sounds neutral, but I prefer a warmer and thicker sound for vocal. I would easily recommend these stereo mics for choir and instruments.

Ease of Use:
Easy to use, fairly high gain before feedback.

Support:
Not needed so far, haven't tried.

Overall:
Good sound and quality!
