Thanks for your advice on the NTG-3, Mike! I still have not pulled the trigger, so your advice is still timely. It's still between the 416, NTG-3, or a Sanken CS-1. I'm not in a hurry at this point, looking at 2010 for this purchase. BTW, I noticed in the comments section of the youtube vid that one VO claimed that the 416 "cuts through" a lot better than the NTG-3. I'm not sure I agree from hearing the raw video, I wonder how they'd sound behind music. The main reason I'm considering a shotgun type mic is for the ability to cut through a mix.

FYI, I just bought a Studio Projects CS5 for about $325, and so far I'm loving it. Another talent I respect says that he recently recorded on a CS5 from his home studio to update a tag he recorded for Disney, and it perfectly matched the U87 that was originally used. I also am getting in a Mike Joly-modded MXL 909 any day now that I am very curious to check out.

Anyhow, thanks for your reply, Mike! It definitely was not too late.

All the best,
Tom Test

Hey Mike,

How do you like your Rode NTG-3 vs the 416? I'm in the market for something like this. (Already have a TLM-103, Rode NTK w Amperex NOS tube and Shure SM-7B). I'd love to hear your thoughts.

All the best,
Tom Test

Mike,
I saw that you were offering to sell your 416 and ship it in your NTG-3 case. How do the two mics compare for voiceover?
