Hi,
Yes I took the Mic to the Rode Service / Store where I bought it. Demon=
strated the effect with the FR2-LE on the counter, Me: "Listen to this"=85 =
Store: "Oh that doesnt sound right" - heres another - tested the replacemen=
t, working fine.
Ive only used the NTG3 perhaps four times its sitting Idle most of the time=
, still looking for a decent figure 8 that doesn't break the piggy bank to =
go with it, suggestions welcome.
Im finding horizontal b-format from four omni's more interesting at the mom=
ent.
BR
Mike.

very well be that the NTG3 is rather demanding with its power requirements=
. I normally run NT1A's and NT2A's on the FR2-LE. Ill listen out for the ef=
fect with the new mic, shame if the recorder cannot be used with this mic =
as is.

g trouble providing enough current for the mic. Several small mixers (ie: S=
D302) have this problem with various microphones. You can use a separate ph=
48v power supply for the mic to get around the issue, they have some here:
