Omnidirectional Polar Pattern    For Instruments and Sound Reinforcement    Natural On-/Off-Axis Frequency Response    For Uncolored Recordings    Reduced Feedback Issues

Inside or outside musical instruments, placed on or hung over stages, and hidden in sets for theater, motion pictures, and TV, the mic can also be used as an audience mic or stage floor mic.

The microphone is sleek, small, and lightweight and will not distract the instrumentalist or the public. It is easy to hang without scaffolding, which eliminates the risk of bulky equipment falling on performers.

Very-low distortion at high SPL levels encountered inside instruments. It offers an uncolored and clean sound with a superflat frequency response.

The omnidirectional polar pattern picks up sound from all directions equally offering the flattest frequency response, lowest noise level, and is least susceptible to wind noise and vibration. It is recommended for recording and sound reinforcement of acoustic instruments such as percussion, guitar, saxophone, and piano.

Q: 8. sennhiser mkh 416 vs this?

A: Both great mics! I have 2 NTG3's and what I love about them are they have a little wider pick up pattern the MKH 416 so If I need to mic 2 people it's easier. It's a great sounding Mic that I've put through every shooting scenario and it keeps on ticking!

Q: 9. Is this Mic compatible with the Canon G40?

A: Hello Trey, unfortunately, you need 48v phantom power to operate the NTG3. It doesn't appear the G40 provides that. I recommend the Rode NTG2 or 4+ as they have power in the microphone.

Q: 10. Would this be good for podcasts?

A: Hello Kelly, The short answer here is, not typically. I say this because the NTG3 is a very directional, supercardioid microphone. What this means is, it is designed more for isolating at various distances and not so much for direct, close audio. If you do use this microphone in tight you can also hear variations in the volume and sound. What I recommend for this application would be the Rode NT-USB or Complete Studio Kit. If you're looking for the most value, look into the new Rodecaster Pro and PodMic. Happy Podcasting.
