Mic shootout: RODE NT1 vs Neumann TLM 102 vs AudioTechnica AT2035. I did a comparison of those three large diaphragm condenser microphones on vocals and acoustic guitar.
Microphones used:
Rode NT1 (https://amzn.to/3CU4tvZ)*
AudioTechnica AT2035 (https://amzn.to/3mfyOim)*
Neumann TLM 102 (https://amzn.to/3AMjP3H)*

Interface:
MOTU M4 (https://amzn.to/3m9ws4K)*

Acoustic guitar:
Gibson J45 Standard (https://amzn.to/3CRUUgN)*

No EQ or effects were added and I adjusted the volume the best I could. The vocals were recorded simultaneously, the acoustic guitar separately (30cm from the 12th fret).

I used parts of my own songs for this demonstration.
