High-Quality Sound Capture
With its 11-inch body and supercardioid polar pattern, the NTG2 delivers precise front-facing directionality while minimizing side noise. Its low self-noise of 18 dBA and sensitive condenser element ensure clear, detailed audio without the hiss common in budget microphones. Additionally, its balanced XLR output supports longer cable runs than many camera-mounted shotgun mics.

Flexible Power Options
Equipped with a 3-pin XLR output, the NTG2 operates on either 48V phantom power or a single AA battery, making it compatible with a wide range of handheld recorders, field recorders, mixer adapters, and camera preamps.

Perfect for Boompole Mounting
The NTG2 comes with a mic clip for easy attachment to a mic stand or boompole. For enhanced vibration isolation in boompole or handheld use, pair it with the Rode SM4-R shockmount or PG2-R pistol grip (sold separately).

Effective Wind Noise Reduction
A foam windscreen helps minimize noise from wind, fans, and HVAC systems. For superior wind and handling noise reduction in any environment, consider using the Rode Blimp furry windshield and shockmount suspension system (sold separately).
