Features

The Rode NTG-2 is a condenser shotgun microphone designed for professional audio capturing in the field or indoors. With a history of manufacturing quality studio microphones, Rode has implemented low noise output electronics and wide bandwidth, both of which attribute to the NTG-2's broadcast sound quality.

The super-cardioid polar pattern and line plus gradient acoustic principle effectively minimize audio and noise at the off-axis (sides) of the microphone, while the front of the capsule accurately reproduces incoming audio signal. The result is greater intelligibility and signal-to-noise ratio when using the NTG-2 in noisy environments.

The NTG-2 is powered with an internal 1.5V AA size battery or an external +48 Volt phantom power source. The output is a standard 3-pin XLR male connector.

The microphone features a rugged, all metal, lightweight enclosure that is ideal for camera mounting yet durable enough to withstand the rigors of heavy road use. The Rode NTG-2 is packaged with a microphone stand mount and windscreen.

Battery Or Phantom Powered

The Rode NTG-2 can be powered with an internal 1.5V AA battery or external +48V phantom power source.

Super-Cardioid Polar Pattern

The super-cardioid polar pattern and line gradient acoustic principle allow for a narrow pick up pattern at the front of the capsule while minimizing noise at the off-axis sections.

Lightweight Durable Construction

The NTG-2 features a lightweight metal housing that is ideal for camera mounting.

Low Handling Noise

Low noise output electronics provide high signal-to-noise ratio. The NTG-2 is designed to also reduce noise caused by handling, rigid mounting hardware, loose cabling etc.

Overview

The BOYA BY-PVM1000 Professional Shotgun Microphone features a Line + Gradient pick up with the length of 27.8mm, features directional characteristics. The BY-PVM1000's high directivity, low noise and transparent audio reproduction make it a well suited microphone for Direct-coupled, balanced output ensures a clean signal even in high-output conditions Transformerless design for improved pickup of transients Switchable 80Hz high-pass filter.

Features

Being a directional microphone, the VideoMicro reduces distracting peripheral sounds and focusses on the audio in front of the camera. Its pickup is more forgiving than RØDE’s other on-camera microphones providing a more natural sound when recording indoors. Perfect for capturing incredible audio to accompany inspiring vision.

The microphone body is made from aluminum, giving it a high level of RF rejection, and is finished in RØDE’s high-grade ceramic anti-glare black coating. Included with the VideoMicro is a camera shoe mount featuring a Rycote Lyre shock mount. Featuring a suspension structure composed of a hard-wearing thermoplastic, it is far more effective at minimising unwanted vibrations, handling and cable-borne noise than traditional elastic suspensions. Virtually indestructible, the Rycote Lyre will never sag, snap, wear out or require rethreading to maintain its effectiveness.

Also included is the WS9 synthetic furry wind shield with foam inner cell, designed for use in outdoor scenarios where wind and environmental noise can inhibit recordings. Optionally available is the RØDE SC7, a TRS to TRRS cable that allows the VideoMicro to be used with smartphones, to capture crystal clear, directional sound for video and video applications such as Periscope.

Overview

New sealed windshield design

A new sealed windshield design further reduces wind noise, giving you crisp sound when shooting outdoors.

Auto power-on/off

When switching on your connected camcorder/DSLR, the Rode VideoMic Pro+ will detect plug-in power from the camera and automatically switch on. When your done recording and there is no longer any power on the cable then the microphone will automatically switch off.

Powered by either the included LB-1 Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery or 2x AA batteries

The Rode VideoMic Pro Plus includes a LB-1 Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery that can provide the mic with over 100 hours of power. While recording or when turned off the microphone's LB-1 battery can be charged via USB. If the included battery is not an option then you can power the mic with two AA batteries. A built-in battery door makes replacing batteries a breeze, and it won't get lost.

Audio safety channel

The audio safety channel makes use of both the left and right audio channels (available on most cameras), and reduces the right channel's sensitivity by 10db to help ensure the signal does not clip when unexpected spikes occur.

Rycote lyre suspension

The Rycote Lyre based shock mounting system separates the VideoMic Pro+ capsule and electronics from its mount, providing isolation from external physical factors that may cause unwanted rumble and vibrations in the microphone. Constructed from a single piece of hard-wearing thermoplastic, the Lyre provides superior acoustic suspension to traditional elastic solutions, and will never wear out, sag or snap.

Removable connection. 3.5mm output port instead of a fixed cable

On the Rode VideoMic Pro Plus the 3.5mm jack cable is no longer fixed to the microphone, now if you want to use different length or mini jack cables you can simply plug it into the 3.5mm port on the rear of the microphone.

Two-stage high pass filter: 75hz and 150hz

A two-stage high pass filter option enables shooting clear audio in a variety of conditions. 75hz will reduce low frequencies such as rumble from traffic while 150hz will reduce sound from outside of the human frequency range.

Three stage gain +20db, -10db, 0db

20db, -10db, and 0db gain is selectable from a single button on the rear of the microphone. -10db will enable you to record loud subjects without clipping the audio, while +20db is designed to improve audio quality on DSLR or mirrorless cameras.

High frequency boost

High Frequency Boost will boost high frequencies enhancing detail and clarity in the recording.
