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.

RODE NTG-1 Features:
  • Super Cardioid.
  • Frequency Range: 20Hz-20kHz selectable HPF @ 80Hz/12dB octave.
  • Maximum SPL: 139dB
  • Broadcast sound quality.
  • Rugged metal contruction.
  • Condenser microphone transducer.
  • Weighing 105 grams approx. (3 oz).
  • Low noise circuitry.
  • Low handling noise.
  • Supplied with stand mount and zip pouch.
  • Designed and manufactured in Australia.
  • Full 2-year guarantee.

Saved me time editing to fix noisefloor!

New York life is difficult when it comes to noise. With the quarantine and more people working from home, the quality of an audition becomes your pass to booking the job. I've been dealing with a tremendous amount of mechanical vibrations coming from m neighbor's and I just can't ask them to turn off the AC every time I have to record an audition. I have had to treat EVERY SINGLE SPACE between EVERY WORD I SAY so the background noise is not that audible. That's zero productive and super exhausting.
So I had to get myself a mic with a narrower pattern to try and decimate the issue. And this little guy has worked fine so far. Though I haven't tried it yet with the worst conditions but the quality of "silent sections" is A LOT better and I barely have to intervene.

The perfect mic for my home studio

Mounted this mic on an articulating arm in my audio/video studio to film sermons, to do live streams, on and on, connected to a Presonus Studiolive 32sc I also bought here at Sweetwater; it's the perfect Mic for what I needed. Thanks!
