I've used a few "high end" shotgun mics in the past including the famous sennheiser mkh 416.
this mic is comparable to the audio quality of more expensive mics, in my opinion, with a very low ... read more [+]noise floor. close [-]

sweet, inexpensive short shot

Lightweight, self or phantom powered, sharp sounding short shotgun mic. Sound is just a bit crisp, but for a fraction of the Sennheiser price, what the heck. A great addition to my on-the-go gear.

A Killer Microphone for web-based audio !!!

Music Background: Hypnotist, Voice Over, Former early years CBGB punk alumni guitarist
Let me start out .. I am not a technical, hard core music fanatic .... and my ears have been slightly damaged over the years from swimming in one-too-many polluted lakes and I have spent one night .. ... read more [+]too many in the seventies ..sitting in a front row seat on band nights in front of a stack of ear-shattering Marshal amps while the WHO ...CREEDENCE ....SPRINGSTEEN ... pulverized my ear drums to oblivion.

Besides being a world reknown hypnotist (at least that is what the media calls me) who knows the effect
the spoken word .. and nuances your voice can
have on others ... I love microphones. I have
an arsenal of them .. Shure .. Audio-Technica - Studio Projects, AKG, Rode, Sennheimer .... more than I can remember where I put them.

I ordered the Rode to accompany my new video camera over the Audio Technica and Azden (similar prices) because the Rode NTK (for my voice) is my favorite microphone of all time. I have been testing it against 10 other classic microphones from $1,200 and less for web based audio. To be honest .. the other microphones were adequate .. but there's something about the directional quality of the Rode NTG-2 that just punched out and made you take notice when I uploaded it to the websites. It just added that 'voice of authority' that I was looking for.

It feels weightless in my hads compared to my big tube condensers .. but still packs the kick of a mule. It even can take a battery if you don't have phantom power around.

Man, I don't know what it is about that Rode sound. Even Australians can't believe there is a country that produces some of the finest sounding and cost saving microphones on the planet.

A big thumbs up on this product and to Chris Lewis, my rep at Sweetwater. I love Sweetwater. I'm 2 blocks from Ground Zero in NYC and have spent a fortune with Manny's, Sam Ash and all the 48th street music stores in a 25-30 year period. The service .. man ... like have your own personal music research assistant ... All I have to do is tell Chris what I want to do, how I want it to sound and what I want to spend and Chris and Sweetwater have never let me down .... Just like this Rode Microphone. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

When it came time to start from scratch with the studio, I had a lot of questions. The Sales Engineers I've worked with are really friendly and patient, and the guidance they provided was invaluable; they basically helped build the studio.
