Hi Rob,
After reading charts and many posts on this site, i am considering
buying the Rode NT2000 instead of the AT2035.

I have seen some photos of your twin mic setup, and heard some
samples, and they sound great.

I am hoping to use it inside the empty yoga centre (emtreemly quiet)
to record voice to later process with Audition and burn to CD for my
students.

And also possibly put on a stand beside me as i teach a yoga class, to
experiment with different settings to pick up voice from a live class
teaching. (Students are usually reasonably quiet). Do you have any
suggestion for an arm to support the mic which could fit into a
regular mic stand, so the stand can be out to the side and not between
me and the students? I hope to put mic higher than my head height.

Looks like by buying the NT2000 i will also be able to use this in the
field to record nature sounds. And then at a later date, possibly to
buy a second one to use to capture stereo.

Does this sound like a good strategy to buy this mic?

NT2000 is going for =C2=A3250 in the UK ($380) and will ship to Ireland.
Includes Mount and hard case.

Apologies that i am discussing equipment, but i am a beginner and if i
ever want to record good quality nature sounds, i figure i can get the
best advice from you guys ;-)

I guess i will also need a Art Phantom III which seems lighter than
the ART II, and correct cables to feed into the RH1.

I see a pop shield (for close voice ?)
Wind shield (for outdoors)

Is there a good furry wind shield you would recommend?

Can you suggest anything else that would be useful? Especially to
setup on a beach or on rocks beside the sea to capture sounds from the
waves lapping the shore.

The environemnt on this part of the west coast of Ireland is
relatively uninhabited, very few cars, no distant traffic sounds, no
aircraft, mainly silence, birds, waves from sea, but we do get a fair
amount of wind sometimes quite strong.... and rain ;-(

And the silence here is beautiful ;-)

Best Wishes,
Dave
