I'm intending buying a second mic, but as sometimes I'd like to use both on the same sound source, is there anything I should know before choosing, and then when using (such as phase considerations).
I have a Rode NT2 and am interested in the miniature DPA 4060 for its portability.

i think it really depends on what you plan on recording such as vocals, bass, guitar, drums etc. If the Rode is your only current mic.... I might suggest a workhorse mic like the Shure SM57. It is used a lot for percussion and instrument mic applications and MOBY even uses it for vocals but I am sure there are a few other mics that would be worth considering for a second mic as well.
Do you like the Rode NT2? What do you record with it? Just curious as I am considering purchasing a nice condensor mic myself. I currently own just the SM57 and want something a little better for vocals and acoustic guitar.
