    Yes, Rode NT2-A :wink:
    Price - about 400€
    Link

    Not tested it myself, but heard it's one of the best, very quiet (no noise) with lots of detail

    Thanks Edward

    Same choice here - Im actually looking for this one as we speak! Problem is: I just need this feature (figure 8) for a very special job and not as a front up mic!

    Im dealing with two persons now: I´ll buy if they go down to about 180€ second hand!

    Hope there´re alternatives :rofl:

    In my country, it costs 290€ new, will look for second hand as well, though the chances are not much. People usually buy NT1-A *yes*

    Too bad you didn't say half a year ago, been selling Samson CL8 for €50 (new €170) :rofl:

    possibly slightly on the large side and i think this is a figure 7 version but maybe what you're looking for?
