Roy, the guy wants to drop $900 on a mic. I ask you again, have _you_
ever used an RNP? I have, and compared it to both low end (Mackie
original 1202), middling (Mackie Onyx) and very good (Millennia and
Great River MP2-MH) preamps. The Mackies were not in the running, at
all. Neither are the pres in my A&H 2200.

Why spend twice the cost of a decent preamp on a mic that one will then
connect to a truly mediocre preamp? Please explain how that makes sense.
An RNP is half his budget. I may have saved him almost half a grand.

When you were mixing for bigtime broadcast, how many Mackies were in the
suite? How many Behringers?
