Well, of course. But he's looking for a particular sound.

The thing is.... the MKH416 isn't designed to create that sound... it is
really intended for use in the far field. A lot of people like to use it
up close as a VO mike and they get a sound that they like, but that is working
outside the design envelope of the microphone.

The NTG3 might sound like the MKH416 in the far field but that doesn't mean
it will do the same thing when you get up close, because that's not in the
design envelope of the NTG3.

Which is why, once you find something you really like you shouldn't ever
let go of it.
