Bought an NTG5 in a camerashop, brand new. It worked for about 10 minutes and a couple of hours later, there was only noise. I switched to other XLR cables, interfaces, all with the same result.
Then I received the one I ordered with Thomann. Worked for about 5 minutes while testing it for the first time. Wasn't amazed with the sound quality but fine. After that I got this super weird skreechy sound over it and I've read that this happened quite often with other people. When I read about it, I thought "this is probably a rare occurence" what are the odds this would happen to mine after one already failed. Jokes on me, because it happened literally, 10 minutes after unboxing.
I've owned and used a couple of Røde mics before and was pretty happy with them, but I'm sorry to say I've lost faith in them. All the fun extra accessoires are useless if your mic doesn't work.
Returning it.
