Rode NTG5

The circular ports create a more transparent and natural sound profile. By moving away from traditional linear slots, the NTG5 reduces phase cancellation issues, resulting in a cleaner, more uncolored audio capture that sounds less 'processed' than standard shotgun microphones.

Yes. The NTG5 utilizes RF-bias technology and a specialized conformal coating on the internal circuitry. This makes it highly resistant to moisture, condensation, and adverse weather, allowing you to record reliably in environments where standard condenser mics might fail.

Absolutely. At only 76 grams, the microphone itself is incredibly lightweight, which significantly reduces operator fatigue during long shoots. The included pistol grip shock mount is also designed to balance well on a boom pole, making it an excellent choice for field production.

The NTG5 requires 48V phantom power from your camera, mixer, or audio interface to operate. It does not have an internal battery compartment, which helps keep the unit compact and lightweight.

With an extremely low self-noise of 10dBA, the NTG5 is exceptionally quiet. This makes it ideal for capturing subtle dialogue or quiet ambient sounds without introducing unwanted hiss into your recordings.

The NTG5 comes as a complete kit, including the microphone, a specialized pistol grip shock mount, a windshield, and a zip pouch. It is designed to be a 'ready-to-go' solution, so you won't need to purchase additional mounting hardware to start recording.
