RODE NTG5 Moisture-Resistant Short Shotgun Microphone

Overview

Shorter and lighter than the NTG3 and with a flatter bass response, the RODE NTG5 Moisture-Resistant Short Shotgun Microphone captures natural, uncolored sound indoors or outside for indie film, TV, and documentary work without weighing down your rig. Professional-level features such as ultralow-noise circuitry, a smooth off-axis response, and a tightly controlled low end make it suited to a range of location recording scenarios.

The NTG5 includes a furry windshield and a pistol grip shockmount that can be attached to a boompole for added versatility. Its extremely high sensitivity produces robust output levels without needing extreme gain at the mic preamp, while circular acoustic ports and RF-bias technology deliver acoustic transparency and reliable performance even in severe conditions.

Broadcast-Quality Supercardioid Sound

An 8" long body, circular acoustic ports, and a supercardioid polar pattern combine to yield focused on-axis directionality, smooth off-axis response, and a transparent tone with a tightly controlled low end. An ultralow self-noise of 10 dBA and a highly sensitive condenser element communicate detailed audio unburdened by the hiss that affects many lower-cost microphones.

RF-Bias Circuitry Resists Moisture

RF-bias technology and conformal coating provide excellent resistance to moisture, cold, and dust, allowing the NTG5 to reliably capture high-quality audio in both normal and adverse environmental conditions outdoors.

High Sensitivity Needs Less Gain

The NTG5's extremely high sensitivity allows it to produce robust output levels without applying extreme gain at your mic preamp, helping to keep the noise floor low on a wide range of recorders and mixers.

Phantom-Powered XLR Output

A 3-pin XLR output compliant with 48 VDC phantom power makes the NTG5 compatible with a variety of handheld audio recorders, field recorders, and mixer adapters, as well as built-in preamps on many camcorders and cinema cameras. The included short XLR cable, designed for use with the supplied pistol grip, features Neutrik and Switchcraft connectors and an integrated strain-relief junction box.

Pistol Grip and Windshield Included

• The PG2-R pistol grip shockmount impedes the transfer of vibrations to the microphone and suits comfortable handheld operation or placement on a boompole.
• A mic clip is supplied for mounting the NTG5 on a standard mic stand in a studio.
• A foam windscreen reduces light wind noise from fans, heaters, and air conditioners, while the included furry windshield offers maximum reduction of wind noise indoors or outdoors.
