NTG2 : Great Value

9 years ago

For any filming/video work on a budget, this is the mic. Obviously it's not as good as the "industry standard" mics, but then again, it's a fraction of the price, and the average joe who knows nothing about audio probably won't notice the difference between a good mic and an amazing one.

My main criticism is that it would be nicer to have a higher output for quieter work. For those instances, I use the battery to power it, then use a cloudlifter to boost the gain, which gets nice levels from it.
