RODE NTG5 Moisture-Resistant Short Shotgun Microphone

Shorter and lighter than the NTG3 and with a flatter bass response, the RODE NTG5 Moisture Shotgun Microphone lets you capture natural, uncolored sound indoors or outside for your next indie film, TV shoot, or documentary project without weighing down your rig.

Professional-level features such as ultralow-noise circuitry, a smooth off-axis response, and a tightly controlled low end make it ideal for a range of location recording scenarios. Plus, it includes a furry windshield and a pistol grip shockmount that can be attached to a boompole for increased versatility.

The RODE NTG5 Moisture Shotgun Microphone extremely high sensitivity allows it to produce robust output levels without having to apply extreme gain at your mic preamp. Sonically, the RODE NTG5 Moisture Shotgun Microphone delivers acoustic transparency due to its pioneering circular acoustic ports, gentle rise in high frequencies, and rumble-reducing attenuation of low bass frequencies.

RODE NTG5 Moisture Shotgun Microphone switch- and dial-free design lets you set up quickly and focus on the sound instead of fiddling with various mic settings. RF-bias technology and conformal coating ensure reliable performance even in severe conditions.

Designed to Withstand Adverse Environmental Conditions

When your work takes you outdoors, you’re bound to encounter humidity and condensation, which can cause many mics to fail. The NTG5’s RF-bias technology and conformal coating provide excellent resistance to moisture, cold, and dust, allowing you to reliably capture high-quality audio in normal and adverse environmental conditions.

Broadcast-Quality Sound

The RODE NTG5 Moisture Shotgun Microphone was engineered for transparency and all-weather performance. The combination of the NTG5’s 8″ long body, revolutionary circular acoustic ports, and supercardioid polar pattern yields focused on-axis directionality, smooth off-axis response, and a transparent tone with a tightly controlled low end.

RODE NTG5 Moisture Shotgun Microphone ultralow self-noise of 10 dBA and highly sensitive condenser element communicate detailed audio unburdened by the hiss that plagues many low-cost microphones.

Phantom Powered

Thanks to its 3-pin XLR output and compliance with 48 VDC phantom power, the NTG5 is compatible with a variety of handheld audio recorders, field recorders, and mixer adapters as well as built-in preamps on many camcorders and cinema cameras.

The included short XLR cable—designed for use with the supplied pistol grip—features Neutrik and Switchcraft connectors and an integrated strain-relief junction box.
