Today I review the Rode NTG3, a very popular shotgun microphone that directly competes with the MKH416. This has a large present, treble, and air boost, but it doesn’t sacrifice anything in the low-end. It offers a full and well rounded body, while maintaining clarity in the top. This shotgun does pick up a bit more ambient noise than it’s competition in the MKH416, but that’s the trade off you’re making for the added low end.

Today we’re looking at the all in one podcast studio in a box, the Neat Beecaster. This is a usb microphone with a built in boom arm. It offers multiple polar patterns. Cardioid and Multiple Stereo settings and a mid forward, smooth sound. The main drawbacks of this microphone are the headphone amp the inability to remove the microphone from the stand, and some wiring issues that cause a hum if you touch the microphone’s grill.
