Extended high frequency response is a characteristic of condenser mics, relative to ribbon or dynamic mics. Extended HF response is physics. |
Ty,
I agree that the NT3 wasn't designed exclusively for acoustic guitar. The Rode website shows it being used for vocals as well - ie as a general purpose mic. Personally, I use the NT3 mainly for the other reasons I mentioned.
However, I have compared the frequency response of the NT3 with that of my other condenser mics and it undoubtedly has significantly "better" high frequency response than all the rest. So it isn't simply the fact that it is a condenser mic - it is unusual even amongst condensers!
