The pop shield does a good job, allowing you to get close in and exploit the low-end from the proximity effect.

The first two things we noticed about the NT-USB were that there was little in the way of self-noise and that the built-in headphone amp was loud and clear, providing plenty of volume in our AKG K702s. With a cardioid pattern, no pad and no low frequency roll-off switch, there's nothing to adjust apart from the recording level on your connected device (if needed) and your preferred monitoring level and mix. We used the mic to record into Logic on a Mac and Garageband on an iPad and found it very easy to use - it's a case of just plugging in and getting on with it.
