Bylo by lepší, kdyby jste přímo do videa napsali co je chybně a ještě když máte i název v angličtině tam místo chybně napsat i = incorrect. Případně nějaké vysvětlení v komentářích ale ve videu by to bylo lepší.
i just bought the NTG-1 and im using it with the ZOOM H5. I've done a few test in my room with the door opened and the results was not what i expected. It is quite noisy, and whoever is talking downstairs (in the house. my room is upstairs), they can be heard. Or whoever is outside my room somewhere, lets say they cough or open/close their room door, it can also be heard. They're all very obvious. Or is the NTG-1 ment to be like that? because im a newbie in audio recording. Also, what is the filter for? i've read it in the instruction manuals but i am not quite sure. i've done a test with it ON and OFF and i dont hear any difference?
I own the MKH-416 and the NTG-3 sounds the same to me in this video. However, I'm thinking the MKH might be more expensive for two reasons: 1) it might be more sensitive w/ lower noise floor. 2) rejects more sounds from sides. This is just a theory - I'm not expert on that, but I'm just saying so people can consider all things. Thank you for the test.
This is a good test of the mics in an untreated environment. I don't feel that it makes sense to spend a lot on a mic if the room tone is that live. Spending a little money on some sound treatment would improve the sound more than an expensive mic. Thanks again for posting this video I think it will be helpful to many people.
Hi. The problem with this test is that the mics are too far from you. All you hear is the room sound, and it makes all the mics sound the same. You are in a reflective room too. Check out my video "Shootout of the Mini Shotguns!" to get an idea of how close you should have the mics. I suggest you put the mics on a mic stand so they are close to you. Cheers!
I would have liked to have seen this shot outdoors. This room seems far too small and echos a ton. Let's be honest, 90% of the time you use a shotgun mic will not be in conditions like this, it will be outdoors or in a room with less echo. Thank you for doing this but so much of a shotgun mic is how it handles the off axis rejection. A perfect mic test would have had the mics in the shot so you can actually see the distance/angle. I'm assuming these are recorded without a windscreen.
Wow -- great demonstation-- as a 30 yr GUITARIST I must say the NTG 3 picks up the acoustic frequencys with the most accuracy--BUT, NOT MUCH better than the RODE PRO (both better than the Senn)--, my ELECTRIC GUITAR videos shot on Handycam internal with high distortion anyway, so doesn't seem to matter.
Yea, I guess that's the case. However, as I'm looking at the NTG-1 microphone now I do see a tiny (really tiny!) switch there. But it's a high pass filter (HPF) switch, not a directional/omni-directional switch. It appears the filter was actually ON during my testing so I need to mention that in the video description. Thanks :)
Oh thanks! I heard the NTG1 was a shotgun mic and thought it would have the ability to switch between directional and omni-directional, but no - it appears it's a short shotgun, with one setting - directional-but-not-very-directional. Thanks!
Frankly, I'm not sure what settings are you talking about. None of these mics have such hardware switch on them and neither does the iRig or my Canon 5D. I'm glad you like the test, though :)
