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...
Again, so what? That is false equivalency nonsense because it has nothing to do with what I wrote.
I was referring to RØDE mics
in perfectly good working order that are well known for being sibilant.Not duds, not defects, not unhappy customers.
And to be clear, I
have had a RØDE dud (one of my NT3s) and it was replaced under their 10 year warranty (back when you had to ship them to Australia) and I still have it and it's great. Their customer service is excellent.
