RODE NTG-1
Directional Condenser Microphone

The new RODE NTG-1 is a lightweight condenser shotgun microphone, specifically designed for professional applications within the film, video, television, voice-over and ENG industries.

The NTG-1 provides an electronically balanced output stage and operates on 48 V to the P48 standard. The NTG-1 offers wide bandwidth and a controlled polar response coupled with low noise SMT electronics. The NTG-1 is extremely lightweight making it ideal for mounting directly to video cameras (with optional accessories) or a Boom pole.

The NTG-1 comes complete with mount and windshield. The supplied windscreen effectively suppresses wind noise when recording outdoors in moderate conditions. Optional accessories are available for more demanding applications.

Features:

Broadcast sound quality. Low noise circuitry. Condenser transducer. Rugged metal construction. Low weight: 105 grams approx. (3 oz.). Low handling noise. Supplied with stand mount, zip pouch and windshield. Designed & manufactured in Australia. Full 2 year guarantee.

Operation power:

The NTG-1 is designed to operate from standard P48 phantom power. The NTG-1 will operate between 44 V to 52 V applied with positive polarity to pin 2 and pin 3 via the output XLR connector.

Operation output impedance:
