Nice comparisons! Thank you for making this and sharing your findings. I agree the NXN8 is sounding great across the board aside from the cupped position. When I’ve had students leading worship and forget their mic technique in the moment and start cupping, I’ve added clear double sided tape under the capsule to gently remind them to keep their hand more in the middle of the handle.
