Hi Klas,
the Sennheiser K6 was the less tested microphone; as soon as
possible I'll repeat the comparison with the Rode (my reference now)
and the others. But I would say that the K6 is more than 10 years old!
Concerning the Rode NT1A, I used them in very bad weather conditions
(temperature ranging from 4 to 9 Celsius, with fog, rain and wind); I
protected them with a cotton handkerchief and they worked reasonably well.
After that experience I did a wind protection for them by cutting two
soft wool socks!
By the way, I experienced the Murphy's law in a 3 days trip to record
deers at night: the first night was rainy, the second was foggy and
windy, the third night the weather was fine, but the recorder did not work!
