Mackie 400F & Rhode NT2A (mic impedence)
On the 400F it lacks mic impedence, just wondering what effect, if any, that would have on a mic such as the NT2A (variable pattern) and wonder if someone could explain mic impedence as well as the difference between the NT1A vs NT2A besides the variable pattern.

The price difference is $200. I will be using it for Acoustic guitar/Vocals and wondering whether the variable pattern and roll-off would be worth the extra cash.

I also found my AKG 1000S (about 10 years old) in storage the other day, so will probably track with that too for added mixing options or will the global phantom power on the 400F ruin this? Can't recall about the 1000CS as it uses a 9 volt battery.

Thanks!

forget about the part regarding the C1000S as I just remembered if you take out the 9 volt it will run on phantom power.

i dont understand what your asking about mic impedence, but dont worry about it they will work fine together

NT1(a) vs NT2A
to compleatly different mics. the NT1A (and origional NT1 being the same mic) are cheep and IMO not worth it, at that level you may as well just got with a chinese mic. the NT2A however is a good mic, it uses the same capsule as the NT2000 and K2 all of which sound great. variable pattern will be usfully and the roll off is good to have but i would rather do it on a pre than a mic anyway. features aside the sound of NT2A just blows away the NT1(a)
