The Rode NTG2 is a condenser shotgun microphone designed for professional audio capturing in the field or indoors. With a history of manufacturing quality studio microphones, Rode has implemented low-noise output electronics and wide frequency bandwidth, both of which attribute to the NTG2's broadcast sound quality.

The supercardioid polar pattern and line-plus-gradient acoustic design effectively minimize audio and noise at the off-axis (sides) of the microphone, while the front of the capsule accurately reproduces incoming audio signal. The result is greater intelligibility and signal-to-noise ratio when using the NTG2 in noisy environments.

The NTG2 is powered with an internal 1.5V AA battery or an external +48V phantom power source. The output is a standard 3-pin XLR male connector.

The microphone features a rugged, all metal, lightweight enclosure that is ideal for camera mounting, yet durable enough to withstand the rigors of heavy road use. The Rode NTG2 is packaged with a microphone stand mount and windscreen.

Battery Or Phantom Powered

The Rode NTG2 can be powered with an internal 1.5V AA battery or external +48V phantom power source.

Supercardioid Polar Pattern

The supercardioid polar pattern and line-gradient acoustic principle allow for a narrow pick up pattern at the front of the capsule while minimizing noise at the off-axis sections.

Lightweight Durable Construction

The NTG2 features a lightweight metal housing that is ideal for camera mounting.

Low Handling Noise

Low-noise output electronics provide high signal-to-noise ratio. The NTG2 is designed to also reduce noise caused by handling, rigid mounting hardware, loose cabling, etc.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Jacob ★★★★★

The build quality feels solid in hand, and the sound from the shotgun capsule is impressively clean even without phantom power. I used it with a battery on a remote outdoor interview and it picked up dialogue clearly without any handling noise.

Eli D. ★★★★★

The battery option saved me on a shoot where the mixer didn't supply phantom power, and it still sounded clean with no hiss. The tight pickup pattern kept traffic noise out while I recorded dialogue from about a foot away.

Abigail ★★★★★

I've been using this mic for indoor interviews and it picks up voice clearly without handling noise, even running on just a AA battery. The dual power option makes it super flexible for different rig setups.
