Rode NTG-2 — condenser shotgun mic, super-cardioid pattern, battery or phantom powered.

Description

The Rode NTG-2 is a condenser shotgun mic built for professional field and indoor recording, combining low-noise electronics and wide bandwidth for broadcast-quality sound at a cost-effective price point.

Pickup and Power

A super-cardioid polar pattern with a line-plus-gradient acoustic design narrows pickup at the front while minimising off-axis noise, giving strong intelligibility and signal-to-noise ratio in noisy environments. Power comes from an internal 1.5V AA battery or external 48V phantom power, outputting via a standard 3-pin XLR.

Build

A rugged, all-metal, lightweight housing suits camera mounting while standing up to heavy road use. The mic ships with a stand mount and windscreen.
