 I highly recommendOct 29, 2008
By E. Dutt
This is a great mic. The design makes it really easy to set up for recording, and its quality gives fantastic sound. I have primarily used it for recording acoustic instruments (grand piano, 12 string guitar etc) and because I am not a sound engineer with years of experience, I find that I get great sound just by having the parameters of distance and angle to fool with. Frankly the extra parameter of distance between two mono-mics is just annoying for me. I want to play music and record it, not fool with mics all day. I can't wait to try it on live recordings of choirs etc.
Drop by the Røde website and have a listen to what engineers say about this mic.

Great unexpensive accurate Mic!May 07, 2009
By Francisco Aguilera De Alba
"Francisco"
I bought this microphone about 6 months ago. I've been recording mainly acoustic pianos and orchestras with it. It's not a Schoeps microphone, but it's far from being a cheap microphone. Great dynamic range, very good frequency response (although sometimes I feel like it's lacking a little bit of bass response, but maybe it's just me, or the placement), and most of all: incredible place-and-record ability. Highly recommended for engineers or musicians who don't have much time to play around with two microphones. As I wrote before, it's not a Schoeps, but to be honest, if somebody asked me for a very good stereo mic under $500 for live-sound or for a quick recording, this would definitely be my choice.

Live recording with a Rode NT-4Apr 03, 2012
By Wednesday
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R39F7LEUVN00EV I started recording my sons playing music a number of years ago. Always searching for a better way to get the best sound. I went from the mic in the camera, to a separate mic, to getting the sound from the sound board. I was never happy with what I got. When you get it from the sound board you are at the mercy of the equipment they use, and their adjustments to eliminate feedback, etc. I finally decided to take a chance and get a top quality premium microphone. I also wanted some stereo separation as everyone that plays this back is playing it on a stereo system. The video you see here is our first try at using it. We fed the bass and the two mic outputs into a Zoom r16. So be advised that the bass you hear is not from the Rode. It was a separate feed into the R16. The Rode actually did not pick up the bass very well, and we had not planned on that, either. All three tracks were taken from the Zoom and then mixed with a slight amount of tweaking. All in all I was very pleased. This is the best sound I have ever gotten since I started recording. Now I will say this, as I write this review the file is uploading, so I have not heard it after Amazon does what ever they do to it. It sounded great when I uploaded it. If it sounds bad just go to you tube they are probably higher quality. My two sons are Matthew (fiddle) and Christopher Arndt (banjo), they are playing here with The Early Edition. There are a few more of the videos up on You tube. We started using this mic in March of 2012. We also will experiment with placement. If you can see it here, it is behind the condenser mic used by the sound crew. I wanted it higher but was over ruled for aesthetic reasons.
Very nice soundstageJun 17, 2010
By Martin Eikmeier
I'm from Brazil and o bought this mic for ambiences,foley and rehearsal recordings with my theater group.
I did some recording of the cheering for the first Brazilian match in the world cup with North Korea in São Paulo,
with the NT4 and the internal mics of my marantz PMD661. The difference is huge.
The Nt4 gives us a very nice sound stage. Since i was in a neighbourhood with lots of residential buildings we can here a lot of sounds coming from everywhere and NT4 delivers it. We listen not just sounds coming from left and right but also the depth. Realy amazing.
In the theater we get also great sounds. I left it perpendicular to the stage and we hear very good relation with instruments, singing and acting. Very nice.
Love it! It's my first choice now, very versatile

 1/8 inch stereo input not for computer or DV cameraNov 21, 2010
By Mario J. Santonastaso
I looked for recommendations from other sources on a mic that would be capable of being connected to a laptop mic input or DV camera mic input to give high quality sound recordings. Since this mic comes with internal battery power, I thought it would be ideal as the mic also comes with a 5 pin XLR to 1/8 inch mini stereo cable. The output for a computer or DV camera is very poor. If your looking for something that works with a portable recorder or with XLR inputs, this is a great mic. Rode should be clearer with its description of how the 1/8 to 5 pin XLR should be used and its limitations. If your looking for computer recording with a laptop mic input or a DV Camera external mic, there are a lot of choices that are made for this purpose, but the NT4 is not one of them.
