The new version of the Rational Acoustics branded RTA-420 is a budget-friendly measurement microphone with an impressively flat response curve for its price, and as a result, it works well as a “starter” mic, a spare, or a “B” rig mic for use in tough conditions where the user might not want to deploy a more expensive mic.
The RTA-420 offers heavy-gauge steel construction and measurement performance similar to high-end mics costing many times more.
It is supplied with a mic clip and a bright yellow windscreen, which is helpful in seeing the mic in dark venues. It also includes a custom-designed soft-sided carrying case that accommodates and organizes two mics plus their accessories.
Like the previous version RTA-420, the new model is PIN 3 HOT.
The RTA-420 is available for purchase via the Rational Acoustics online store, at a retail price of $89 (USD). In addition, customers can contact their Rational Acoustics dealer or distributor for local pricing and availability.
