Rode NTG2 Shotgun Condenser Microphone Comes complete with mount and windshield. The new RODE NTG-2 is a lightweight condenser shotgun microphone, designed for professional 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) or 48 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 directly to 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. Features: Broadcast sound quality. Rugged metal construction. Condenser microphone transducer. Weighing 161 grams approx. (5.17 oz.). Low noise circuitry. Low handling noise. Supplied with stand mount and zip pouch. Designed & manufactured in Australia. Full 2 year guarantee. Technical Info Operation power: The NTG-2 is designed to operate from standard P48 phantom power or a 1.5 V Alkaline Battery. The NTG-2 will operate between 44 V to 52 V applied with positive polarity to pin 2 and pin 3 via the output XLR connector. Operation output impedance: The NTG-1 will operate satisfactorily into a load impedance as low as 1 kilohm. If a load below this is used, the output signal level will be reduced. The NTG-2s output is balanced between pin 2 (hot), pin 3 (cold) and pin 1 is ground. Acoustic principle: Line plus Gradient. Directional pattern: Super-Cardioid. Frequency range: 20 Hz ~ 20 kHz selectable HPF @ 80 Hz/12 dB octave Output impedance: 250 ohms -- phantom power, 350 ohms -- battery power Signal noise ratio din iec 651: 76 dB (1 kHz rel. 1 Pa; per IEC651, IEC268-15) Equvalent noise: 18 dB SPL (per IEC651, IEC268-15) Maximum spl: 131 dB (@ 1% THD into 1 kilohm) Sensitivity: -36 dB re 1 Volt/Pascal (15 mV @ 94 dB SPL) +/- 2 dB (at 1 kHz in free field into open circuit) Dynamic range din iec 651: 113 dB (per IEC651, IEC268-15) Power supply voltage: 1.5 V Alkaline Battery or P48 Phantom Current consumption: 2.0 mA Output connection: 3 pin XLR, balanced output between pin 2 (+), pin 3 (-) and pin 1 (ground) Weight with battery: 161 g approx. (3.37 oz.) Dimensions width: 278mm Dimensions depth: 22mm Dimensions height: 22mm
