Sorry Rob!
You needn't be; Rob's the decider, heh. He personally selects and guarantees his product, (as do I, for my own products/projects) so you can be sure his product will meet your needs.This is why there are occasionally some issues with availability, as each shipment must be vetted. HTH

YEah, I know all that.

So, since wait time is your only barrier to entry, I'll expect to read your glowing review, real soon now. :D

I assumed the Rode was designed in Australia and manufactured in China, but assume is a acronym.......LOL

I bought a Gauge ECM-87 and love it! Although, that's coming from a guy who's been using nothing but an SM-57 for everything as I can't possibly afford 1000+ for any piece of gear! (With the exception of G&L Basses and old SVT's)

I suppose they are good if your on a budget. But I bet when Rod reaches for a mic his first choice is not his own.

Sorry Rob!

Keeping your budget in mind, here is a pretty good trade off Quality/flexibility/cost ... cross functional and a little work horse in a budget studio http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ ... sEX1&SID=0
