NTG5 Kit : When it works it's great...but it doesn't always work

4 years ago

Great when it works. However, I suddenly suffered from a lot of noise when I used for the second time. I switched it out for another NTG5 with the same setup, and the noise was gone. I subsequently looked this up online, and apparently it's not uncommon for the NTG5 to fail in this manner - a lot of people have reported similar problems, even when using top of the range XLR cables and external recorders. Not everyone has this problem, but I do not want that level of risk, particularly with a mic at this price point.
