I have it! Your tests on the NT1-A helped me estimate the acceptable
"uniform" coverage at about 60 degrees. (I arbitrarily use 5-6dB as
the high Hz drop-off maximum). Your chart makes some of the
advantages of a high end "bump" very evident, doesn't it?
If you do get a chance, I'd be curious to know if you feel the NT2000
(based on Rode's fuzzy charts) stands to be wider. Rob D.
Here are some relevant comparison charts side by side:
