I have a question as well.....
What exactly is going into this MOD?
The reason why I ask is if a person had a list of those components they could order these mics from the manufacture that is making them for Rodes without the stuff you are removing (in bulk making them cheaper) and produce an affordable new usable mic for resale.
Of course it then would not be a Rode MOD but a new brand.
