RØDE NTR Active Studio Ribbon Microphone Demo
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- We're trying out the very special new RØDE NTR Active Studio Ribbon Microphone - a ribbon mic that isn't like other ribbon microphones. We'll hear it in action on speech, drum overheads, guitar cab, piano and vocals - the NTR sounds fabulous on a range of sources you wouldn't normally consider a ribbon mic for! It's very versatile indeed...with its extended frequency range, built-in shockmount and amazingly high (and clean) output level, the NTR is probably one of the most useful ribbons you can have in your mic cabinet.

Love to hear spoken voice on this .... like audiobook.
+Kevan Brighting It's nice, isn't it?! Was thinking about picking one up for spoken word - the off-axis rejection is ridiculous as well - as in, if you talk 90 degrees into the mic, you hear nothing at all. So it's excellent in a studio situation, I have a loud computer and when you position the mic correctly, it just excludes it beautifully.
yes!
Sounds delicious! Nice and bright without sounding tinny!
+Lafayete No EQ on my voice on this. I may have added a touch of compression to even out volume levels a bit if I recall correctly - but nothing major.
@@SourceDistributionTV so where's the final track he was producing with those microphones?
that guitar sound was sweet...
it managed to sound good on vocals although seems like you have a wall right next to the singer
thanks for the demo, I bought a pair.
"Ribbon mics don't have an extended low end".... yeah, right!
It sounds amazing on the guitar amp. I wonder what slight distortion on the guitar might do.
I wonder how much of the pleasing sound of this mic has to do with the fact that it's has a Figure-8 pattern where both lobes of the "8" are equally sensitive and 180 degrees out-of-phase. Be interesting to experiment with an absorber on the back side to see how attenuating room reflections affect the sound quality.
All ribbon mics do that.
Put that mic in front of my trumpet to play (sweet) jazz standards (realbook) to record, also to record contrabas. This mic sounds "fair" and direct close and i can play with the soundcolor with a wide dynamic while i'm playing to get more emotion. The best mic I both until now.
Why not let us hear the entire track with all the different parts put together?
I want one of these so bad!
I have been planning to get the Røde NT1 at some point. But this looks so beautiful, and of course it's great. But do I really need it :P But it's so beautiful!
I wish they made portable ribbon mics for filmmaking. Ribbon mics sound so pure.
Isn't the Coles 4038 made for this kind of usage? Nice smooth and reliable ribbon sound in all kind of TV and broadcast related situations? I would imagine the Beyerdynamic M130 might work too, but you need a super good preamp for those, however they're tiny and lightweight. The downside is you might have to improvise wind protection, but that should be manageable.
That darker sound could be great on Jazz groups?
Yep , I use it for that reason
I would have miked the guitar amp at least 60cm back for a more accurate sound.
I know this is old but your killing me
I wanted to hear the entire song without you talking over it
Bummer
as I said many times, great mic. Downside: it is delivered with cardboard box and not any aluminium case for transportation. Not elegant or safe, the cardboard box, when you have to go to clients with that mic or a couple of. It looks like a prosumer device rather than a pro.
My dad bought one. Cool mike!
I'm really considering 1 or a pair of these. I'm generally not a big fan of cheaper rode Mics but these look cool! The other ribbons I'm considering are the AEA R84's and Coles! Any opinion's?
....maybe be a bit careful with plosives and high transients. I wouldn't close mic a kick drum or use it on vocals without a pop filter.
Cool stuff 😊
To mic my folk group - Yamaha nylon guitar with female voice - mellow ballad songs, gypsy etc, plus a balalaika and a mandolin/mandola. I prefer a set up where we sit in a semi circle so we can combine harmonics playing off one another. More like a quartet than a Bluegrass band. Have the Rode K2 - thinking of adding this NTR facing the vocal & guitar letting the back side do it's thing. K2 with figure 8 hearing L-R as other instruments are on either side of vocal - the semi circle. We play facing each other instruments to the inside of circle. Any opinions. Also for acoustic guitar work NTR? I like what you have presented. Otherwise two NT5 mics for other instruments?
This is a bit of a dark sounding mic. It's almost as if it's recreating the sound of a 1940's-50's ribbon mic.
That’s what ribbons do!
I found your page from looking up ribbon mics and how they sound. I have just a bit of an interest - originally wanting to know how they work. Also, I was wondering (if you happen to know...) Do professional groups use ribbon mics in recording studios for the best sound quality over condensers and dynamic mics? Are ribbon mics "truer" in sound reproduction (assuming everything is figured correctly?) What I really would love to know - if you could give it a guess - is what type of microphone would the likes of Elton John have used - especially for his vocals back in the day - such as 1972 or 1973 - around the time of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road or Tumbleweed Connection? The studio recordings (of Yellow Brick Road, especially), are just INCREDIBLE! So much so, listening to it actually makes me cry because the engineering and choices made were so good. Anyway - I loved your demo and I was just wondering what you might know about good studio recordings and the equipment used. Have a great day - Robert (just felt like sharing my thoughts on Elton's recordings.) (smile)
Elton most likely used a Neumann U47 for his vocals. It was pretty much the go to mic in those days. Still is for those who am afford one. The thing is, what you are hearing is the mic, the room, the preamp and the mixer, compressor etc…a 100 percent analog chain…
@@officialWWM Thank you so much! Elton's recordings are the very cleanest I've ever heard in my life. And, the production decisions are incredibly purposeful. Even the ends of sentences and phrases are silky smooth in texture to your ears...and they even do their best in getting rid of hard "s" sounds and heavy breathing sounds. Elton and his crew and producers were creating real sound "art" with their productions. It brings me great joy to listen. Especially from the 70's and 80's.
@@robertkushner156 I have been lucky enough to have seen Elton live 7 times. He was the first live concert I went to when I was 14. That concert was at Western Springs in New Zealand. Since then, I have seen him play in Sydney, Melbourne, Hobart and Auckland. As far as I’m concerned, there is no better live entertainer. Now I’m going to go back and listen to those old recordings so I can hear what you hear. Thanks for reminding me :)
@@officialWWM That's wonderful. Please listen to "I've Seen That Movie Too" off of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. ua-cam.com/video/qmPf97rgoU4/v-deo.html
sound so clear I hear a little bit of background noise I will suggest no songs on the background.
How far away should I record my trumpet from the NTR?
Hi, can u answer please. What preamp you used when recorded vocal? Thinking to buy this mic.
Do u think this would be great for cartoon voice overs
I use a shure sm7b. Nice video
+Warren Kelly Thanks! Yes, definitely. There's a sort of classic tone to it, but with a pleasant high end too - I think it really suits voiceover, as well as all the musical applications we show in the vid! Here's another great vid we saw recently with a great speech sound: ua-cam.com/video/fumfg1YLH3M/v-deo.html
How do you record sound of this mic simultaneously with camera.
Can you please do a review on how to connect usb mic with camera.
Record the sound to a separate device (eg. Zoom H6), then line up the audio file with the video file in your video editing program!
+SourceDistributionTV so we have to sync the audio right
Correct
You’ve convinced meI want one! The only thing I don’t like is you saying you can use it for a BUNCH of things it’s not a banana of a grape! your English speak fucking English mate.
Ribbon now damaged. Pop filter?!!
I record myself at the grand piano and recently just got an Røde ntk (condensor). Now I am curious about if it would be advantageous to combine the ntk (cond.) and ntr (ribbon). The ntr would be used for the base to lower mid strings with left sided P
panorama and the ntk for the upper mids and tremble with right sided pan. I am pretty new to recording so if there are some oppions Id wish to hear them :)
always use the same mic model if you plan to have a pair on piano . Get matched pair if you can .
Yes, beatles did this.
guitar cab.
i have question, need phantom power or not ? (from chile)
+BeatMachinne Frente Lirico Yes, you need to supply it phantom power!
Thanks!
What interface do you use with it?
Is it an omnidirectional mic?
It's Figure of Eight - with effectively 100% rejection from the sides.
Is it best for pop vocals??
Prakhyat B nope, the modern pop almost exc. uses condensers.
Actually he bought 2.
I am confused with Active Ribbon Mics. I normally use mics like the Rode NTG2. So when I am plugging my Zoom H4N into an Active Ribbon Mics, what setup differences should I need to know about compared to setting up an NTG2?
i.e. Do I turn on 48V phantom power?
+raredreamfootage Yes you do, turn on phantom power and set gain to taste!
CRAP
Hey get some real musos . These clowns need to step aside and get back to selling used cars and flippin burgers
peterm3964 i think you can do better that that mate.
