Rode Classic II - worth it?

[neversleep]

Hi...

I've been using Rode's NTK tube mic for a while now and really like it's character on my recordings.

But I've just been given the chance to buy an almost new Rode Classic II for a very good price.
I'm really tempted, especially because it offers switchable patterns, etc.
But I want to know if I'll get the NTK sound plus more if I buy the Classic. I don't really want anything sounding much darker than the NTK and I can't afford to keep both.

Anyone had experience with both mics?


Cheers.

i don't have any experience with i but i know it's considered to be one of two or three top mics for r&b vocals.

you should check www.prepal.com to see what these are going for on ebay. these are a major value when bought used.
