I'm going to start a new thread on small hypercardoids`, if that's ok.

The NT4 is actually the same guts as the NT5. The NT4 on camera must be a sight to behold.

If you recall, I've been a tad piggish lately but have to resume my spending habits

I bought a 302 mixer and a marantz PMD670 recorder in September. I also bought a AKG D230 (dynamic ENG Omni) an AT 899 omni lav and an AT 851 cardoid boundary.

I haven't fully explored any of the mics yet. I'm very happy with the sound on the AKG dynamic and the AT Lav. Both have very pleasant open sound. very rich and lifelike. The Dynamic really surprised me by knocking the crap out of the ME66.

The jury is still out on the boundary. I was going to use it a a hidden mic for interviews.
