I read recently (can't recall where, maybe here ?) that the electronics
inside the Rode NT5 were modelled on or closely resemble that of the Schoeps
SD family. Thus I'm wondering whether it might be possible to use the NT5
body with a Schoeps MK capsule (eg 2S or 2H or 4)and gain most of the
Schoeps sound at something of a discount price ? Perhaps someone owning both
might like to try this and comment on the results ? I can't think of any
reason why it might prove a risk to either of the items electrically, but
I'd have to add the caveat of "do it carefully and don't bugger up the fine
threads on the capsule" since that is the most likely source of
incompatibility ! Would love to know whether its a feasible idea or just
hare-brained ?
