Why is the SE8 so much noisier than the RODE in your test?

Super!

Great video , no infomercial background music!

Thank you so much!!

My humble opinion is exactly opposite I thought the SE was brittle in the top end. The nt5 sounded the best but it picked up more mouth noises. The m5 is more neutral but had clarity across the frequencies and better rejection of mouth noises.

I like nt5 >m5>se8

Dude, I appreciate the video, but for sake of gaining an audience...cut out the first 5 minutes of the video and GET to the POiNT ;)

I liked the NT5, the first and third sounded muffled, maybe boomy.

Rode NT5 matched pair for 275 pounds? Shit! I should have bought mine before inflation. I just picked up the matched pair set for $475. (Unless your talking about the price for a single mic)

how did you deal with noise of the nt5?

Thank you. Nice and clear explanation. Now to put it to the test.

Hi, great comparison! Please, which microphone are you using in this video?

Borogoves not borogroves :)

Very helpful your video

Good comparation and very helpful

Great inormative video. Thanx

El cheapo sounded good to me. I'd rather have the short Deity S mic 2S. It's supposed to have lots less reverb like the small condensers

Very helpful… thank you!!!

On mmedia playback here...the se was a bit tubby/wooly. The nt5 was def clearer and more connected

please help me i want professional record studio for professional record studio midas good select ?

One of the best beginners' videos I've seen.

I think I will go for NT5 as I think it’s the most balanced of the three. The SE8 is way to low and dark in its sund.

I found this review to be very helpful. If I understand correctly you use these mics in tandem with boom mic as backups or vise versa. Id love to know more about how you physically set this up as well as the gear involved. (booms and recorders etc) I would like to get away from using lavalier mics for similar reasons but am not 100% about the best way to set it all up. Thanks!

thank you!

I thought the M5 sounded the most neutral. But I liked the SE8 for overall character.

I like NT5 ,,, very balanced, I have got a noise from SE8 .

“I certainly wouldn’t fret if I showed up to a shoot with the wrong one in my kit bag.” What a refreshingly well balanced concise yet adequately thorough review! Thanks for your time making this - definitely helped with purchase decisions for my next shotgun mic. It won’t be the primary in my kit, but the S2 will definitely be making an appearance for me!

I enjoyed this. You deserve many more subscribers. Peter.

Can small diaphragm mics be used in the glyn John’s technique? Great video by the way, bought the se electronic se8s

Great video, very helpful, thanks 🙏

Great in depth review. Definitely interested in picking this up one day. One question, what should I set my mic levels at on my camera to guarantee the cleanest audio when using this for audio?

Sexy

Found quite useful. Excellent selection of test dialogue. The NT5 sounded best to me on first listen with the SE8 seeming to have the same profile with a higher self noise.

Thumbs up just for using Jabberwocky! :)

Great job on the comparison. You have my Sub. Keep it up

The SE8 seems to have a lot of ambient noise, this is the same problem that I have with my Audio-Technica AT875R when I run it through the DBX 286. I tried to fix this issue but every single time I do it decreases the volume to the point where you can't hear anything from the microphone, you can adjust the compressor, but it doesn't really change much because of the type of microphone that you're recording with. The same problem does not exist within frame microphones like the Rode NT1.

I think I would have chosen the NT5 out of these 3. The SE8 had a good sound, but seemed to introduce a good bit of noise that the others didn’t. Did you do any processing of the audio? Cheers.

How reliable has the ipad app been? Great video btw.

Thank you for the great detail.

Yes sir
