Maybe it was " a cheap RØDE".

Maybe it was your editing Simon's post down to:

"Sold quite a few Rode's in my day working at the local music shop,"

Your reply?

"So?"

What Simon actually posted was this:

"Rode mics are perfectly good, and reasonably well designed for the price.

When I was an audio engineering student, I had access to a plethora of mics ranging from cheap to pro. Neumann TLM103 and KM184, Shure SM7B, AEA R92, Audio Technica AT4050, quite a few Advanced Audio mics, Electrovoice RE20, AKG C414 B-ULS, and more. I liked all the above mics, but quite often I'd grab a Rode NT2000 since it was quite clear, open, and predictable. We also had a Rode NTK and a Rode K2, both tube condenser mics, which we (both students and teachers) all thought were at least equal to the list above.

Sold quite a few Rode's in my day working at the local music shop, and never had a dud. Can't even remember any refunds on them either...
