Hi guys,
i have 2 Rode NT2A experiencing the same problems (wind noise, random pops-crackles). One started last year and the second some days ago.
I changed the capsule, 2 different brand new capsules, and the problem is still there.
So i tried to get into the SMD circuit and change the 470 pF input coupling cap (marked in green on the attached picture) with a through hole WIMA soldered on the circuit tabs. No result.
I am searching the issue on the high-Z part of the circuit, since AFAIK this problems are related to the input section (capsule and related JFET input circuitry).
No schematic around the web, so working on the SMD's is very difficult. Can you help me identify the 2 components marked in Red? They could be some high value resistors, i am expecting 2* 1 Gohm resistors around there (one is joined to FET's gate ).
I would also try to change the FET, marked in blue, do you know which one is used?
I would appreciate comments or hints (or schematic !?!), thanks in advance
