Shotgun Mic For Film and Video from RODE

By now, we all know that when the multi-award winning RODE company puts its mind to creating a mic, it's going to be solid, rugged, great sounding, and a lot less expensive than microphones that are sonically equivalent. The NTG-1 represents RODE's genius for innovation in the field of designing microphones specifically for video applications.

The new RODE NTG-1 is a lightweight condenser shotgun microphone, which has been specifically designed for professional applications within the film, video, television, voice-over and ENG (Electronic News Gathering) industries. The NTG-1 provides an electronically balanced output stage and operates on 48V phantom power.

The NTG-1 offers wide bandwidth and a controlled polar response coupled with low-noise SMT electronics. The RODE NTG-1 is extremely lightweight making it ideal for mounting directly to video cameras or on boom poles. The NTG-1 comes complete with mount and windshield. The windscreen effectively supresses wind noise when recording outdoors in moderate conditions.

Optional accessories are available for more demanding applications.
