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: 1. Does this package come with the v-mount plates? If not where can I purchase the plate that is compatible with this particular light? (Item name or number would be greatly appreciated )

A: Battery plates are included.

Q: 2. 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: 3. 1000mm focal length and only 610mm long tube, what's the catch?

A: This is the Manufacturer's specifications. My apologies.

Q: 4. What is the frequency response range for the included xy mic? It's not in the specs & it's not even on the zoom h6 website. thx

A: The manufacturer has not provided frequency response ratings for any of the Zoom mic capsules, but I would estimate it to be 20 Hz to 20 kHz.

Q: 5. Is this a Lobar Pattern microphone?

A: A Lobar pickup pattern is commonly found in shotgun microphones and has the highest possible directionality, and can often be used interchangeably with "hypercardioid" and "supercardioid" pattern descriptions. However, both patterns are technically slightly less directional than the Lobar pattern, but Lobar is also much less commonly used by manufacturers to categorize their microphones' pickup capabilities. The NTG3B Moisture-Resistant Shotgun Microphone's pickup pattern is categorized as supercardioid.

Q: 6. If I get the boom pole that comes with the basic kit here, what is the recommended boom stand I should get to use with it?

A: You can use a basic model like the Auray Boom Pole Holder (B&H # AUBPH) or the BoomMate BPH Microphone Boom Pole Holder (B&H # BOBPH) together with a grip head such as the Impact 2.5" Diameter (B&H # IMKCP200).

Q: 7. If we add the +2-XLR capsule on top, will 6 channels show on the H6 display instead of 4?

A: The Zoom H6 would have the same channel display except the mics connected to the Zoom EXH-6 capsule will come up on the channels that are labeled 'XY' on the display.

Q: 8. Is there a Zoom model that will ALLOW external mic with a 3.5 mm jack WITHOUT bypassing on-board mics? So 2 mics sources for recording (to a dSLR)?

A: No. The 3.5mm jack will always disable the onboard mics. You can connect your 3.5mm into the XLR with an adapter, like the RODE VXLR, Use the VXLR+ if the mic requires plug in power.

Q: 9. 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.

Q: 10. Sounds like very limited iPhone compatibility. Will this work with a 2016 iPhone SE? Thx in advance.
