Description
The RØDE NTG2 is a professional-grade shotgun microphone designed for film, broadcast, video production, and streaming. With a supercardioid polar pattern and line-gradient acoustic design, the NTG2 offers focused, transparent audio with excellent off-axis rejection—ideal for capturing clean dialogue and ambient detail in a range of controlled and uncontrolled environments.
Available for hire in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane, this microphone is lightweight, rugged, and offers dual power options, making it equally suited to studio and location recording.
Dual Power for Flexibility
One of the NTG2’s standout features is its ability to operate from either standard 48V phantom power or a single AA battery. This gives users the flexibility to use the mic in a variety of setups—whether powered via a camera rig, mixer, or as a standalone solution in remote field recording.
Ideal for on-camera work, location shoots, or run-and-gun setups
AA battery option ensures functionality even without external phantom power
Phantom power via XLR ensures compatibility with professional recorders and mixers
Clean, Directional Audio
With a supercardioid pickup pattern, the NTG2 focuses on sound directly in front of the microphone while rejecting ambient noise from the sides and rear. This helps isolate dialogue or sound effects in noisy environments or uncontrolled locations.
High directionality for controlled, focused capture
Excellent rejection of environmental and off-axis sound
Suitable for booming or camera-mounted operation
Built-In High-Pass Filter
The NTG2 features a switchable high-pass filter at 80 Hz, allowing users to cut out low-end rumble or handling noise. This is especially useful for outdoor recording, interviews, or when working in spaces with air conditioning, wind, or vehicle noise.
Toggleable 80 Hz roll-off switch
Reduces wind noise and environmental hum
Enhances clarity in voice capture
Lightweight and Portable
Weighing only 161 grams and measuring 280mm in length, the NTG2 is easy to mount on cameras, booms, pistol grips, or handheld rigs. Its lightweight aluminum construction makes it ideal for handheld and shoulder-mounted rigs, reducing fatigue during extended shoots.
Comfortable for mobile and handheld use
Works seamlessly with RØDE shock mounts and wind protection systems
Easy integration with field audio kits and DSLR setups
