The Rode NTG4+ Shotgun Microphone with Digital Switches and Built-In Rechargeable Battery is designed for ENG, filmmaking, field recording, sound design, and broadcast applications. The microphone builds upon the success of the company's NTG1 and NTG2 microphones with an updated capsule to deliver broadcast quality sound and digital switching options for versatile field operation. Designed to be mounted on a boom, a handheld pistol grip, or atop a compact camera for run and gun style filmmaking, the microphone features a super-cardioid directional pickup pattern, a frequency range of 20 to 20,000 Hz, a sensitivity of -32 dB re 1 V/Pa, a dynamic range of 119 dB, a signal to noise-ratio of 78 dB SPL, and a maximum SPL of 135 dB from 48V phantom power (4.8 mA current draw) or the internal rechargeable lithium battery. -10 dB PadAttenuates the microphone input to allow for the recording of loud sounds without clipping75 Hz High Pass FilterReduces low frequency and infrasonic rumble from HVAC systems indoors or street traffic outdoors from over-powering the recordingHigh Frequency BoostRestores some of the high frequency content that is often lost when a blimp or furry windshield is placed over the microphone and improves the intelligibility of recorded speechSetting MemoryRecalls the digital switch settings when the microphone is powered on and off
