Thank you for your detailed explanations. I recently bought a Rode NT1-A and 1402-VLZPro as well, and am very pleased with the very clear recordings I can make now. Up till now I used a pair of Rode NT55 mics straight into a Marantz solid state recorder. Still a good option, but the NT1-A is brighter, and the Mackie has very clear pre-amps.
