Tape around the mics.
Fun experiment. The tape takes out the trebles a lot it seems. I wrapped a AKG Perception 150 and a Rodes NT5 with tape around those vents at the tip.
No tape: Tape version: What this proves? Who knows

It settles the question about me ever loaning you one of my microphones.

Those 'vents' are part of the microphone's design that gives it a directional polar pattern (i.e. cardioid, etc).

Yes. Covering them with tape will mess with the polar response of the mic.

Fill the vents with Crazy Glue....far more effective.

We are an ingenious bunch
While I think experimentation is key to learning and ultimately great recording I would definitely be disinclined to put tape on any of my mics just sounds so wrong to me ...... ?

That's interesting... I didn't know that. Makes sense. I wonder how Roger Daltrey did it... he slung his mic around so hard, the roadies used duct tape all over it to keep it attached to its cable. Maybe the tape didn't reach up high enough to disrupt the polarity.

I kind of liked the taped sound better on my end, I did two more records that are on my soundcloud where I moved back a few feet from the mics.
I think the real answer is to move back from the mics. I may get a Zoom H? later on this year which would free me up a little regarding where I record and then maybe do something with movable panels.

Rode sells omni capsules for the NT5, the NT45‑O. Perhaps you should consider getting of pair of the omni capsules and swap them with the cardioid capsules you already have. They just screw on and off of the mic amp body. |

Duct tape is thicker than the tape I used and cheaper than $89,

If I am singing into a mike the duct tape had better be all over it! That includes the pointy end that you sing into. The poor audience would clear the house faster than if someone had let Pepé Le Pew loose in the place.
