Dual Powered Directional Condenser

The new RODE NTG-2 is a lightweight condenser shotgun microphone, designed for professional applications within the film, video, television and production industries.

The NTG-2 provides a balanced low impedance output stage and operates either from an internal 1.5 V battery (AA) or 48 V to the P48 standard. A wide bandwidth and controlled polar response coupled with low noise SMT electronics, makes the NTG-2 the perfect choice for film, video engineering and voice-over work.

The NTG-2 is extremely lightweight making it ideal for mounting directly to video cameras or on boom poles.

Excellent mic! Whether for ambient sound, dialogues, speech, or an acoustic instrument, near or far, it is very effective. The low-cut filter and the windscreen are very useful for close recordings (avoiding plosives and sibilants) and against breath noises caused by movements. However, outdoors it is better to buy a more effective windscreen (which is recommended in the manual). The slot for an AA battery is also very useful and replaces the +48V power supply, which saves the recorder's batteries. I had no problems, except that you have to check that the battery cover is properly closed, otherwise it will move the connector and make a lot of noise. So I recommend it!

Satisfied with the RODE NTG2 mic, the signal-to-noise ratio is very acceptable, a purchase with eyes closed, quality product, I record wildlife and plant sounds or musical ones... and the first tests in a few hours are ok, it gives me less work in post-production compared to my low-end mic, cool! I recommend the RODE NTG2 which is still in the race! Thanks to the whole Woodbrass team.

I just ordered it, I received it very quickly and this microphone is simply wonderful, background noises are quite quiet and the voice capture is direct.

Perfect. The comments and advice on the site encouraged me to buy it and I am clearly not disappointed. It is perfect for outdoor and directed use.
