The new RODE NTG-1 is a lightweight condenser shotgun microphone,which has been specifically designed for professional applications withinthe film, video, television, voice-over and ENG industries.

The NTG-1 provides an electronically balanced output stage and operateson 48 V to the P48 standard.

The NTG-1 offers wide bandwidth and a controlled polar response coupled with low noise SMT electronics. The NTG-1 is extremely lightweight makingit ideal for mounting directly to video cameras (with optional accessories) ora Boom pole.

The NTG-1 comes complete with mount and windshield. The supplied windscreen effectivelysuppresses wind noise when recording outdoors in moderate conditions.

Optional accessories are available for more demanding applications.

Operation

PowerThe NTG-1 is designed to operate from standard P48phantom power. The NTG-1 will operate between44 V to 52 V applied with positive polarity to pin2 and pin 3 via the output XLR connector.

Output ImpedanceThe NTG-1 will operate satisfactorily into a load impedance as low as 1 kΩ. If a load below this is used, the outputsignal level will be reduced.

The NTG-1’s output is balanced between pin 2 (hot),pin 3 (cold) and pin 1 is ground.
