Rode NTK Microphone CUSTOMISED with vintage Telefunken Tube and RK7 Capsule.This was a pretty good sounding tube mic in my locker and then I bought some better ones and ended up not using it that much.
So I decided to customise it and now it sounds amazing. I bought a $400 RK7 Capsule (in the style of a Neumann U47) and a vintage Telefunken tube (100) and got the mic professionally modded with the upgraded parts and a new paint job.
It now sounds phenomenal and for several years has been holding its own against my Neumann U87 and Beesneez Sally, providing a little darker, smokier option to use in the right settings (unlike the slightly bright, perhaps aggressive sound of the un-modded mic).
However, most of my work these days is in live sound and I just don’t have the need for a large collection of mics anymore. So I’m reluctantly selling this beautiful condenser to some lucky individual who can hopefully show it the love and attention it deserves.
In the sale I will also include the original NTK capsule, in case you want to switch back for whatever (insane) reason, or decide to harvest the RK7 into a different body. It really deserves to be heard though because it’s just a fabulous mic.There are a few audio samples I can provide here where you can here the difference between the regular capsule and the new one, as well as the difference between my BeesNeez Mic and the Modded NTK (although these are recordings of the same singer in different rooms/preamps):https://www.dropbox.com/sh/yojbdzlkkraquwj/AAB2DG_8Cxg-fwJ_wmE9reDIa?dl=0
