The NTG5 is a short, ultra-lightweight shotgun microphone ideal for the most demanding recording applications. Featuring a revolutionary acoustic design with circular ports replacing the linear slots found in other shotgun mics, it delivers unparalleled transparency and a more natural, uncolored sound. Combined with a tightly controlled frequency response, smooth off-axis response, and very low self-noise (only 10dBA), the NTG5 delivers spectacular sound in a wide variety of applications, particularly location recording and demanding filming scenarios where superior sound is imperative. No more excuses. The NTG5 is a boom operator's dream, weighing in at 76g and measuring just over 20cm, making it ideal for long and demanding shoots. It is equipped with RF bias circuitry to ensure reliable performance in harsh environments, with excellent resistance to humidity, intense cold, moisture, and dust. It comes with a WS10 deluxe windscreen, a PG2-R handle, and other accessories - the perfect location recording kit.
