RODE RODE NTG2 SHORT SHOTGUN MIC. PHANTOM AND BATTERY

RODE have traditionally manufactured large diaphragm studio condenser microphones for Recording Studios and Musical applications. Theyve now turned their attention to the Video market and have produced some truly super microphones at extremely reasonable prices.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 (with suitable adaptor mount e.g. RSM3 or on boom poles. The NTG-2 comes complete with stand mount and windshield.The windscreen effectively suppresses wind noise when recording outdoors in moderate conditions.
