I have just one NT 1, not a pair, and I may say that this is the best mid-range mic Ive ever used. Silent, clear, sensitive, and at the same time it can hold a big pressure of a loud guitar combo. Self noise is absent! Only one cardioid diagram but tell me honestly how frequently you need anything else? Very, very recommended. Rodes are great mics.
