Based on RØDE's award-winning NTG3 shotgun microphone, the NTG8 is a wireless condenser shotgun microphone with even more precise directivity over a wide bandwidth. This makes the NTG8 an ideal microphone for film, television, sports reporting, outdoor recording, concerts, and all professional applications where the source is relatively distant. Like the NTG3, the NTG8 boasts low self-noise and a natural sound without on-axis or off-axis coloration. RF Bias technology allows it to be used in high-humidity locations where traditional condenser microphones cannot be used. The matte black NTG8 features a custom-designed SM8 shock mount to protect it from handling noise. Its integrated cable guide offers a wide range of mounting options. The microphone also comes with a sturdy aluminum cylinder, providing optimal protection during transport and storage. The WSNTG8 windscreen completes the list of supplied accessories. The RØDE NTG8 long shotgun microphone is designed and manufactured in Australia and is backed by a 10-year RØDE Microphones warranty. • Superior broadcast quality • High sensitivity • Supercardioid polar pattern • Sensational polar pattern • Natural on- and off-axis sound reproduction • Designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions • Extremely low handling noise • High immunity to radio frequency interference • True condenser (frequency modulation) • Included accessories: protective aluminium barrel for transport, SM8 shock mount and windscreen.
