Rode NTG-5 Directional Condenser Microphone Kit: The New Standard for On-Location Audio
The Rode NTG-5 Directional Condenser Microphone Kit is a revolutionary new shotgun microphone designed from the ground up to meet the demands of modern filmmaking, documentary, and broadcast professionals. This complete kit combines an incredibly lightweight and compact microphone with a full suite of accessories, providing a versatile and high-performance audio solution that is ready for any location. The NTG-5 redefines what a professional shotgun microphone can be, delivering a natural, transparent sound in a form factor that is a pleasure to use.
Innovative Acoustic Design for Superior Sound:
The NTG-5 stands apart from traditional shotgun microphones with its ground-breaking new acoustic port design. Unlike the linear slots of conventional microphones, the NTG-5 uses a revolutionary circular perforation pattern. This design allows for a more natural and uncolored sound, with superior off-axis rejection that reduces unwanted background noise and ensures your dialogue remains front and center. The result is a richer, more transparent, and broadcast-quality audio capture that requires less work in post-production.
Ultra-Lightweight and Compact:
Weighing in at a mere 76g and measuring just 203mm, the NTG-5 is one of the lightest and shortest shotgun microphones on the market. This feather-light build is a game-changer for boom operators, significantly reducing fatigue during long shooting days. Its compact size also makes it an ideal choice for use on gimbals, small camera rigs, and in tight spaces where a longer, heavier microphone would be impractical.
Rugged, Weather-Resistant Construction:
Despite its lightweight design, the NTG-5 is built to endure the rigors of professional use. The microphone is made from a durable, all-metal construction and features RF-shielded technology, ensuring reliable performance in environments with strong wireless signals. Its conformal coating makes it weather-resistant to moisture, humidity, and dust, so you can shoot with confidence in all conditions.
The Complete Professional Kit:
The Rode NTG-5 Kit comes with everything you need to start recording high-quality audio right out of the box. The included accessories add tremendous value and functionality:
- PG2-R Pistol Grip Shock Mount: Provides excellent isolation from handling noise.
- WS10 Foam Windscreen: Reduces wind noise for general use.
