The new RODE NTG-2 is a lightweight condenser shotgunmicrophone, which has been specifically designed forprofessional applications within the film, video, television and production industries.
The NTG-2 provides a balanced low impedance output stage and operates either from an internal 1.5 V battery (AA) or48 V to the P48 standard.
A wide bandwidth and controlled polar response coupled with low noise SMT electronics, makes the NTG-2 the perfect choice for film, video engineering and voice-over work. The NTG-2 is extremely lightweight making it ideal for mounting directlyto video cameras or on boom poles. The NTG-2 comes complete with mount and windshield.The windscreen effectively suppresses wind noise when recording outdoors in moderate conditions.

OperationPower
The NTG-2 is designed to operate from standard P48phantom power or a 1.5 V Alkaline Battery. The NTG-2will operate between 44 V to 52 V applied with positivepolarity to pin 2 and pin 3 via the output XLR connector.
Output Impedance
The NTG-2 will operate satisfactorily into a load impedanceas low as 1 k§Ù. If a load below this is used, the outputsignal level will be reduced.The NTG-2’s output is balanced between pin 2 (hot) andpin 3 (cold). Pin 1 is ground.
