Rode VideoMic NTG On-Camera Shotgun Microphone

The VideoMic NTG brings the signature broadcast-quality sound of the NTG shotgun mic range to a compact, feature-packed VideoMic, making it RØDE’s most versatile VideoMic ever. The revolutionary acoustic design delivers unmatched transparency, and a natural, uncoloured sound, plus features the same annular line tube technology as the NTG5. Add to this an incredibly flat frequency response, highly directional supercardioid polar pattern, and very low self-noise, and what you have is a compact on-camera microphone that contends with the world’s best shotgun mics. Features lending to the VideoMic NTG's extreme flexibility include digital switching which gives access to a high-pass filter, a high frequency boost for enhancing clarity and detail, a switchable pad, and safety channel which records a separate channel at -20dB. Plus, a unique infinitely variable gain control that allows you to precisely tailor the output as you need, and an auto-sensing 3.5mm output that detects what device you are connected to and switches to accommodate, and a handy dB peak warning light. The internal rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides 30+ hours of recording and is easily recharged by USB-C from empty to full in 2 hours or ran with a power pack for continuous recording. The VideoMic NTG is so much more than just an on-camera mic, it is a fully-featured USB microphone that can be plugged into a computer, tablet, or smartphone. The cherry on top of all of this is the 3.5mm jack doubles as a headphone output for seamless monitoring of audio while using the USB output, adjusted by the variable gain control, which can deliver everything from mic to line to headphone level.
