It broke. So why did I give it 5 stars? Because Rode Mics went out of their way to make it right.February 1, 2013 Music Background: Hobbyist Before I get into that saga, I will say out right it is a beautiful sounding mic. It ha... read more [+]s a slight emphasis of the lows and highs and a slight de-emphasis of the mid-range, but I tend to prefer that. I like knowing that I am getting the full spectrum of sound, and then If I choose to run it through the EQ to roll of the lows and highs a little, I can get the exact balance I'm looking for. It's particularly nice knowing that the highs are there should i want them. Now, what truly made my happy with my purchase. I had been using this mic for 3 or 4 years when I realized that I wasn't getting the high frequency clarity that I should be. I did a couple test recordings, compared them to a couple recordings from when I first bought the mic and found that there was a very significant drop in high band frequency response. I went to my paperwork to track down warranty information and was disappointed to find that it only mentioned a one year limited warranty. I decided to contact Rode anyway even though I felt like it was a long shot that they would be willing to help me. I explained my situation, and made it clear that I hadn't mistreated the mic, and in fact that I hardly every even moved it once I got it on my mic stand. A Rode representative got back to me and told me that if I registered the mic on their website I could get access to a ten year warranty that I believe they instituted after I had bought my mic. They wanted the original date of purchase (which I of course could not remember anymore) and the proof of purchase (which I had sense thrown away or lost) to register the mic, but accepted that I could not provide them. There are plenty of electronics companies that would have happily used these as excuses to void the warranty, it you could argue that it wouldn't have been unreasonable, but Rode didn't. They sent me an RA# and address for a service department and had me send it out. Two weeks later I got word that they could not fix my mic and were instead sending me a replacement, brand new and sealed in its box. To me, that is a big deal. Maybe this is the norm in microphones or studio equipment in general, but have dealt with other electronics companies enough to know that this level of customer service is not the norm for everybody. I have since tried to find out if this is a common problem with Rodes, and have found absolutely zero reference to this problem online, so it seems very unlikely that this is a design flaw. The reality is that all electronics will have some non-zero failure rate. It doesn't matter if it's Neumann, MXL, Shure, or Rode, a certain percentage of their units will fail, and I just happened to draw the short straw. What matters is what the manufacturer does about the failures, and Rode's approach was exemplary. I would highly recommend this mic, just make sure you keep your receipt or packing slip, as it will make things easier if something should happen to go wrong. close [-] Very beautiful sound!

Ok, ok when I frist got this mic i was not too crazy about it. This mic sounds ok on any accoustic instrument I put it on in the studio. But when it's time for vocals this NT2000 is a beast! It's out ... read more [+]of the ordinary straight forword plain dry sound you get out of most mics like the TLM 103 before you master the track. The NT2000 has this agresive full body sound to it like it's a tube mic but no tube! LOL Just pure clean solid state warmth! I've been recording with mic for about over 2 years now, and I can safely say that this mic does have a very versitile sound and many many charictoristic textures you can't out of this mic depending on what pre-amp you plug this into. You can get smooth silky, warm and fuzzy, warm & clean, fully balanced body and sizzling highs... This mic is basicaly ear candy big time! I don't understand why this mic did not receive a Grammy award yet it has the exact same frequency reponce as the Rode NT-2A, this was a more improved version of the NT-2A that happen to win a Grammy award! Oh and when you record up to 24-bit 192kz audio from this mic you won't believe the amount of high quality and detailed sound you get like as if it was some $6,000 AKG or NEUMANN mic! This mic is truly a blessing, in other words the NT2000 was a great buy! close [-]
