Now I've changed my mind a..... 57


So if the 57 and 58 are the same mic without/with a windscreen, why is the 58 (with the windscreen) cheaper?
it's not ....... everywhere I just looked, they were the same price.So if the 57 and 58 are the same mic without/with a windscreen, why is the 58 (with the windscreen) cheaper?
I've usually seen them as 58 for 89 USD and 57 for 99 USD
I just read about the Michael Joly mod. I'm going to both that and the transformer replacement mod. I'm glad to see that other people including Joly have noticed the same thing on these which is mid-range ridiculousness. Good to see that there's a way to fix that.
Absolute...... have you ever modded or had a microphone modded for you before?
It's cool and exciting! Ive a few modded ones and it's kinda like night and day.
Got one of my Rode NT1a's done by Michael and what a great microphone I got in return.

They are not the same mic. The 57 is spec'd down to 40hz. The 58 is 50hz so to me the 57 is a better all purpose mic for recording.
