The RØDE NTG-2 is a lightweight shotgun condenser microphone, specially designed for professional use in film, video, television and production. The NTG-2 offers a balanced, low-impedance output level, and operates on both 1.5 V AA internal battery and 48 V P48 standard. Its bandwidth and directivity control, coupled with low-noise SMT electronics, make the NTG-2 the ideal choice for the film, video and dubbing industries. Its light weight makes it easy to attach to a video camera or boom.
Highlights :
- Professional sound quality
- Solid metal construction
- Capacitor sensor
- Weight reduced to approx. 161 g
- Low-noise circuit
- Low handling noise
- Supplied with a clip in a pouch
- Designed and manufactured in Australia
- 10-year warranty after registration on the RODE website
The NTG-2 comes with its own clip and a windscreen to suppress wind noise when recording outdoors in normal conditions.
This RODE miicro operates on standard 48 V phantom power or a 1.5 V alkaline battery. It accepts a voltage of between 44 and 52 V in positive polarity between terminals 2 and 3 via the XLR output connector. The NTG-2 will operate optimally up to a load impedance of 1k Ohm. If a load below this is used, the output signal level will be reduced. The NTG-2 output is balanced between pins 2 (hot), 3 (cold) and pin 1 (ground).
