Rode NTG2 Microphone

The RØDE NTG2 is a condenser shotgun microphone designed for professional video, film, and field recording applications. Known for its lightweight build and high sensitivity, it delivers broadcast-quality audio with a focused supercardioid pickup pattern that isolates dialogue and on-camera sound sources while minimizing surrounding noise. Its balanced frequency response ensures natural voice reproduction with clear highs and controlled low end, making it well-suited for capturing clean dialogue in a variety of environments.

Flexibility is built into the NTG2’s power options: it can run on 48V phantom power supplied by cameras or recorders, or on a single AA battery, making it reliable in field conditions where phantom power may not be available. Its compact and lightweight design makes it ideal for mounting on a boom pole, camera, or pistol grip without adding excessive weight. Durable metal construction ensures it can handle demanding production environments.
