The RODE NTG-1 is a lightweight condenser shotgun microphone designed for professional audio capture across a wide range of film, video, television, and voiceover applications. Building upon RODE’s renowned reputation for quality and performance, the NTG-1 delivers broadcast-grade audio with a tightly focused supercardioid polar pattern.

Broadcast-Quality Sound:
The NTG-1 offers professional audio fidelity with a wide frequency response and low self-noise. Its condenser element provides detailed and clear sound reproduction, accurately capturing the nuances of speech, instruments, and ambient sounds. The microphone’s sonic characteristics are well-suited for dialogue, narration, sound effects, and more.
Highly Directional Supercardioid Polar Pattern:
The supercardioid polar pattern of the NTG-1 is highly directional, focusing its sensitivity on the sound directly in front of the microphone while significantly reducing pickup from the sides and rear. This precise directionality is essential for isolating the intended sound source in noisy environments or when aiming to minimize room reflections and unwanted ambient sounds.
