Introduction

I want to thank you for your purchase of the

NTG-2 shotgun microphone.

The design brief for this microphone was to build a

shotgun that could be used in professional video,

ﬁlm and live stage applications where low noise, a

wide frequency response and tightly controlled polar

patterns are vital.

I am sure that once you have used your new mic, you

will agree we achieved our aim.

Like all mics, the NTG-2 is manufactured using

the ﬁnest surface mount electronic components

available, and has a body machined of high grade

aluminium which is ﬁnished in hard wearing epoxy

paint.

The heart of any microphone is the capsule, and with

the NTG-2, we have designed and incorporated what

we believe to be one of the best transducers in its

class.

The NTG-2 has many uses; It can be mounted on

video cameras using either the on-board camera mic

mounts or the optional shock mount. The NTG-2

is also suitable as a boom mounted mic for ﬁlm and

video use where it is desirable to get closer to the

sound source yet still be out of the shot. Another area

where the NTG-2 excels is in a live sound situation,

used to great effect as a ‘crowd mic’ when doing a live

band recording. The ability to power the mic by 48V

phantom or an internal AA 1.5v battery is also a great

feature.

The NTG-2 comes complete with a heavy duty

microphone holder and a wind cover for ‘moderate’

outdoor applications. has also designed a

series of products which include the Dead Cat wind

sock (for high wind applications) and boom pole as well

as various cables and adaptors. Details of these units

are available on the website www.rodemic.com

Mounting the NTG-2

• The NTG-2 comes complete with a heavy duty

stand mic holder for mounting the microphone on

any compatible stand with a 3/8” or 5/8” thread.

• Install by pushing the mic in, on an angle coming

from the back. You will notice the holder is quite

ﬁrm, and this is intentional so that the NTG-2 will

not come out easily, which could damage the mic.

• It is very important that you do not block the slots

on the side of the microphone, as blocking these

will affect the sound quality and the polar pattern

(directional qualities).

*Online product registration required.

• The NTG-2 requires power to operate. This needs

to be supplied via P48V phantom power supply

which is available from most professional video

cameras or mixing consoles. Additionally you have

the option of using an internal 1.5V AA battery.

• To insert a battery, turn the base of the microphone

anti-clockwise to unscrew.

• Slide the cover down to reveal the battery

compartment (the cover will not come off the end

of the mic so do not force it). Insert the battery

‘bottom ﬁrst’, checking the polarity using the

sticker diagram as a guide.

• Close the battery cover and retighten the end

barrel by screwing clockwise until it is reasonably

tight.

• It is recommended that you remove the battery

from the NTG-2 when the microphone is not in use

as current is drawn whenever a battery is installed.

Supplying Power

• The NTG-2 incorporates a switchable high pass

ﬁlter set at 80 Hz. This can be used when you wish

to remove low frequency noise that is not part of

your intended sound source. Remember however

the tonal characteristics will be affected by this, so

it is important that you listen to the sound with and

without the HPF in circuit before deciding if it is

appropriate for the source.

• The HPF activated by the recessed

switch shown to the right. A small

screwdriver or pen will be required

as the switch is designed to prevent

accidental toggling.

• The NTG-2 is supplied with a foam windshield.

This windshield should be used even in the

slightest breeze, as this can cause sound

interference.

• When using the mic outside in heavy winds you

may need to purchase a more specialised wind

shield, such as the Dead Cat, which will

provide additional protection from adverse wind

conditions.
