Just got a used NTV. Not a bad microphone a good 12at7 was installed by the former owner. looks like AV polypro caps, a blackgates and a jensen output transformer. I did not trace the circuit yet. Nice heavy duty build.
I am not a fan of the rode capsule design: However this NTV sounds good with male voice. I think it is mostly how the grill and capsule "work" together the grill has a fine mesh. There might be hope for all the nt1s sitting in closets. Drop a ELA M250 circuit in the nt1 body or the Royer for more tube sound or a VM1 circuit for more of the grill and capsule and less of the electronics it might be a good setup
Next time I have the ntv open I will take some picures.
