A comparison of affordable shotgun mics: Sennhesier ME66, Rode NTG2, and Zoom SSH-6.

Additionally, a comparison of Rode NT5 stereo pair, and XYH-5 that is included in Zoom H5 recorder.

The selection of microphones are especially suitable for location sound, field recording, game audio, and video sound.

Great video. I'm plunkin' down for the NTG-2 though as I can use it with any XLR recorder but you're VERY limited with the SSH-6. Thanks mate!

[UzairSipra]

great great comparison. thanks for the video. ME66 is the best which im gonna get.

[Suntika]

out of the shotguns in this video, the ME66 has the nicest sound in my opinion.

[Evgeny_Kostyrin]

Thanks, your comparison has helped to orient.

SSH 6 is also compatible with Zoom f1, not only witj H5 and H6

What software you used in the test? It seems that it is very useful.

Do you know much about this Mic? From what I read about it before I bought it, I was under the impression that you could adjust the mono (directional) and stereo sounds separately. But there is only one gain control. Any ideas? I can't find a Manual online anywhere

Is the SSH-6 stereo shotgun mic capsule as good as or better than the SGH-6 regular shotgun mic capsule? Is the SGH-6 better and more directional than the SSH-6 because it's made only for the one hyperdirectional pickup pattern? Or is the SSH-6 as good as the SGH-6 in sound quality, gain, and hyperdirectionality?

I don’t trust the self-noise test: it sounds much more like some noise in the room.

finally a good comparison every one just records some shit music with no objective self noise test
