This is exactly what I needed! I was thinking about these two microphones for my studio. I'm not sure which to get since they're so similar. When I sing, I am a baritone, and I occasionally do Voiceover. When you go right on top of the rode nt1 5th gen, the proximity effect is quite comparable to radio broadcast mics, which is perfect for VO work. The sE 2200, on the other hand, is a bit brighter, and according to many sound technicians, it is great for female vocals and voice over actors, but not necessarily male singing (it has some boosted frequencies that shouldn't be for male vocals). Just a thought, I truly enjoyed the video and hope others will as well. Cheers!
Happy New Year, James! Smashed it! Got it right in the blind A/B test! It's a really nice sounding mic, James, but I think for me, the title goes to the NT1. Great video! 👍🏾
Great review/comparison! I was able to correctly ID the NT1 by its wonderful smoothness across the freq range. The 2200 definitely sounds nice on its own, but in direct comparison, it strikes me as just a touch more “scattered” and less pleasing than the NT1. Definitely a fine mic in its own right though!
Awesome review James! 👍 I still prefer the Rode NT1 because in my humble opinion it sounded a bit smoother. Curious to see what others will think between both.
I bought the SE2200T back in 2010 love it but I haven't used it in a LONG time since moving. I am curious if this mic given the right filters would be good for voice over acting for content such as anime where different ranges of emotions will be going
Looking at the specs on sE website, I think the sE2300 is more adapted for home studio and Voice over. But I think most of sE mics are bright and clear. When I started to learn about all the recording part of the job you have to do as a vo working from home, I didn't have any preferred brands or technology. With time, sE electronics and Earthworks Audio became the 2 brands outside the giants who interest me the most. sE, talking about their mics, I cannot find any bad review like for some Samson mics (to compare Chinese brands) for example. And if they had durability problems in the past, it seems to be far behind them. Not like Samson unfortunately.
error in 1:12.. it is either 20 hz to 20 000 hz or it is 20 hz to 20 khz... you said 20 000 khz which is way beyond ultra sound, kilo means 1000.. also shame on the builders, there is no way any microphone so closely matches human hearing range limitation - sounds like a marketing thing they put on a box just to show that yeah every frequency you are able to hear it will be able to pick up. For example 15hz or 30khz audio has an effect on your recordings as well as in the air molecules being vibrated in the room. Digitally the ultrasound frequencies also relate to aliasing.

Loved the blind test!!! I found myself preferring B over A and I was super happy to find out that it was the microphone that I already have.

Actually the high mids of the NT1 made it brighter for me...

I'd love to hear what you mean by "smoother"
@@R.C.Bullarnot as much top end (brightness) as the 2200.
I feel the rode has a very small amount of more of a "hollow" sound, the 2200 has a bit more body but not much, for the price, the rode is amazing

I'm looking to become a voice actor soon. I have a very nazzely voice. What microphone do you recommend for me to try?

Lissgo new mic review dropped
Can it be used for professional song recording?
Most Definitely! :)

Nope, I just misspoke.
