Montage One
“The NTK blew me away the first time I used it - back in 1998 right there on the floor of West LA Music. I walked in thinking I came to get a U87 and left with an NTK, DBX 376 channelstrip tube preamp and still had some cash left over to make the CDs after I recorded the album!”
Montage is one of the hottest and most credible rappers and producers in the LA underground scene. A lover of RØDE mics after his own discovery in 1998, he swears by the NTK for studio front end applications, and rocks the M1 on stage.
