Sennheiser MKH416 vs Sennheiser ME66 vs. ME64 vs RODE NTG3 vs RODE NTG2 vs NTG1

Sennheiser MKH416 vs Sennheiser ME66 vs. ME64 vs RODE NTG3 vs RODE NTG2 vs NTG1

A "new" type of shotgun microphone comparison by someone that owns most of the high-end microphones. (I did leave the Sanken out of this specific review for now).


There are ENOUGH "this sounds like this" sound sample videos / audio out there. LOTS.

......... So, I thought I would mention the OTHER ATTRIBUTES to consider when choosing a high quality shotgun mic.

Ive seen a LOT of hate for the Sennheiser ME66 and recommending the NT2 for example, OVER THAT of the ME66.......welllllll......

that leaves out VITAL INFO such as:...

NTG2, while it has more robust sound (to a degree) in a tight room for example......

NTG2 has NOWHERE near as much sensitivity as the ME66

and absolutely NOWHERE near as much side rejection as the ME66
not even close!!!

and is MUCH heavier than the ME66

.....and the ME66 is MUCH MUCH MUCH quieter than the NTG2.



etc etc in this fashion in the little video clip I made about the OTHER attributes of one mic vs. another mic.

also,... while the MKH416 is "IT", the ME66 is by far the superior foley effects MIC.
