  • shotgun mic for XH-A1?

    Posted by Paul Mosser on August 26, 2008 at 3:33 am

    I’m looking around for a good but not over-the-top shotgun mic for the XH-A1. I like Sennheiser mics normally, but I’m considering the Azden SGM-1X. Thoughts? Recommendations for approx $200 or lower?

    TIA,
    Paul M.

    You might also check out the Rodes VideoMic, or slightly over your budget the Rodes NTG-2. Rodes has a reputation for excellent value in their mics. I own a few for (recording) studio use and they compare favorably to mics costing more than twice the amount.

    I recently bought an NTG-2 shotgun but haven’t adequately tested it yet.

    Thanks, Mark. I’ll check out the Rodes.
