I have one of the original rode NT1000's made long time ago when they were a small company all hand made, almost every part, the circuit boards, exc.
its amazing sounds as good as a neuman.

Thanks for the info.  I have another question for you codamedia.   I have a Yamaha MOX6 workstation.  I tried to record using the 3 and 4 inputs from the MOX6, but I can't seem to get a proper level when I record.  I'm going direct into the VS-100 from the MOX6 and when I record, can't get the levels higher than -20 db, so, when I playback the recording, I can barely hear the sound from the recording...During recording, the monitored sound is loud but the recording is low.  Do you have any thoughts on what the problem is?  Could it be the settings in the VS-100 or something else?

Probably a setting in the monitoring mixing is causing you to hear the instrument fine but recording low.  This would be a VS 100 setting.
