I did, I care fully glossed over it!  Jez pointed out similar to me in his =
reply,  I have heard some quite noisy recordings with the 4060s and was sur=
prised considering their price point.. My eBay Lavs seem quieter!

Need to have some clam weather to truly test these Rode mics and will keep =
everyone updated with my findings.

Thanks for the replies and pointers.
