For those who have worked with the NT4 and the Sony
957, could you describe the results you've gotten with
both? I'm in the same boat as the original poster -
little money, but looking to get one of these stereo
mics.
How does the Sony deal with humidity? I lost a Rode NT
mic in the past recording in humid conditions...
Thanks,
Brian
