so i looked into it, and it seems that the specs are different in the 853a and 853rx. not by much, but there is a difference. now i know when using the 853a on battery power i am going to suffer the sound, but my question is if both are powered p48, will there be a noticable shift in quality?
it definately appears that the rx has a slight edge above the a, but i like the versatility of the a (able to use battery or p48). however i did also notice that the rx manual does offer a clear way to shorten the cable (or possibily replace it if inclined)... are the mic cables as easy to replace on the a?
