It would be a waste of money to set all that up unless you were a
manufacturer or such like. In the case of the NT4, the specs include
what they got.

The pillow method will get you most all you really need. Once you have a
mic the published specs get to be a lot less important than what you
find just using it.

I'll be interested to know what sort of sound the NT4's self noise is.
That's something it's very hard to get info on.
