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...
