I have the NT1-A but not the Rodb mic cable that comes with it. I got the Mic used for $80 and it seems to work except for the few od things about it
1) A "Standard" Neutrik NC3FXX just barely fits. I have to use WAY to much force to push the cable in until the lock clicks. I'll break something if I push harder. I think it is because the #1 pin (ground) is longer than the other two pins. Why is the pin longer than the others? Do other people have this same problem. I can't believe Rode would make a mic then does not worth with the most common XLR connector on Earth. No the mic is not bent, the threaded rings work smoothly to mount the NT1-a to the roe SM6 shock mount.
2) I connect this to a Presonus "Firebox" and need to turn the mic gain way up to 60dB. At this gain setting I get usable recording level but it's way down below where I'd like it. I thought this mic was more sensitive But the sound is good How can I verify the mic has the correct sensitivity?
