The RODE NTG1 is a shotgun microphone designed for professional audio recording in various applications such as film, television, broadcast, and more. The NTG1 features a directional shotgun microphone design, which allows it to capture sound primarily from the front while rejecting off-axis noise from the sides and rear. This design makes it ideal for capturing focused and clear audio, even in noisy environments. The microphone utilizes condenser capsule technology, which provides high sensitivity and low self-noise, resulting in clean and transparent audio reproduction. This makes it suitable for capturing a wide range of sound sources with excellent detail and clarity. The NTG1 features a super-cardioid pickup pattern, which offers even greater directionality compared to traditional cardioid microphones. This pattern ensures precise and focused audio capture, allowing users to isolate the desired sound source and minimize background noise for cleaner recordings.The microphone has a wide frequency response ranging from 20Hz to 20kHz, allowing it to capture a broad range of frequencies with accuracy and fidelity. This ensures that it can reproduce both low-end bass frequencies and high-end treble frequencies with clarity and detail. The NTG1 is designed with low self-noise circuitry, which minimizes electrical noise generated by the microphone itself. This ensures that the microphone captures clean and quiet audio, making it suitable for capturing subtle nuances and quiet sound sources without added noise interference. The microphone requires +48V phantom power to operate, which can be supplied by a compatible audio interface, mixer, or recorder. This allows for simple and easy connectivity to professional audio equipment, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility in professional audio setups.The NTG1 features a durable and lightweight construction, making it suitable for use in demanding recording environments. Whether recording indoors or outdoors, the microphone is built to withstand the rigors of regular use and provide reliable performance in various conditions. The microphone includes an integrated shock mount system, which helps to reduce handling noise and vibrations. This ensures that mechanical disturbances, such as handling and movement, are isolated from the microphone, resulting in cleaner and more professional-sounding recordings. The NTG1 comes with a supplied windshield (also known as a windscreen or foam cover), which helps to reduce wind noise and plosives when recording outdoors or in windy conditions. The windshield effectively protects the microphone capsule from unwanted noise interference, ensuring cleaner recordings in adverse conditions. The RODE NTG1 Shotgun Microphone is suitable for a wide range of applications, including film and video production, broadcast and ENG (Electronic News Gathering), field recording, interviews, voiceovers, and more. Whether capturing dialogue, ambient sound, or atmospheric effects, the microphone delivers reliable performance and excellent sound quality for professional-grade audio capture.
