Which RODE VideoMic? ProPlus VS NTG (BUILD, FEATURES, SOUND)

I've been using the RODE VideoMic Pro Plus, the gold standard of on-camera microphones for several years. Is the newer and cheaper, RODE VideoMic NTG actually better?

With all the features set aside I feel the NTG sounds better compared to the ProPlus. It's cleaner, not as bass heavy making it better for EQ in post. Which sounds better to you?

I agree.... but when it comes to a woman's voice that's higher pitched and doesn't have a lot of low tones anyway.. should I ho for the NTG and punch out the already high tones or go with my existing Pro+ and try to add some depth in your expert opinion, please?

I’m not audiophile or expert in audio sound design but I would assume the NTG would still be a better starting point because of the more balance sound and EQ in post. Maybe someone with more skill set here couldn’t chime in.

@@sakshinash what did you end up going with? I find the Pro+ with the high freq presence boost set is favorable for that voice type.

Pro + user here. I really really like the NTG sound here. I use the Pro+ as a staged mic to pick up band music, use it for environmental sounds at the beach all with a wireless receiver. I never really liked the Pro + on my voice but maybe im biased because as I don't like my voice, haha but I think the NTG will fair better for voice applications. Thanks for the review!

Yeah I think the NTG for myself anyhow.. Seems more directional, the only minus being battery (Built in and life). Great vid matey. Both great mikes but it's as important NOT to hear certain sounds as it is to hear them clearly.. I think the NTG has that all important discrimination.. : )

Love to know which one would be better for a live Show like Comedy or Poetry Slams to get a nice sound of reactions of the audience. Any thoughts?

I think for deeper voices the Pro + is a better option. Nice and warm but not “drowny”

NTG I could tell immediately. What mic are you using to record the video? I'm trying to figure out a mic to buy to record my videos when I start making content. Some of the videos will be outside too, so I'm looking for a mic that will sound good outside

@RickyCheung Жыл бұрын

NTG is very neutral sounding which makes it great for all around. I use the MKE600 for KZbin and more commercial work with XLR recorder but for most the VideoMic NTG. Put a windshield on and you’ll be good for outdoors.

Can these also be used to capture your voice via computer. Say for example you’re doing a screen recording and explaining what you’re doing?

@RickyCheung 3 ай бұрын

With the rodeNTG yes via USB. It will work directly. With the ProPlus you need a cable or mixer.

NTG super neutral sound mic offering alot of flexibility for post. Sweet to be able to plug into phone, straight into laptop and use it. It's awesome. Thanks for watching.

The MKE 600 sounded better than both. Should I invest in that instead?

@RickyCheung 4 ай бұрын

MKE600 is a pro level mic using XLR vs 3.5mm. Different applications I would say not saying you can’t get pro level with 3.5mm because you totally can, length of run, etc.
