RØDE NTG-2 Microphone - Black is a versatile shotgun condenser designed for film, TV and video production and is powered both by battery and phantom power for flexible on-location use.

The RØDE NTG-2 delivers a supercardioid pickup pattern that focuses on the sound in front of the microphone while rejecting off-axis noise, giving you clear dialogue and natural ambience capture for professional productions.

With a sensitivity of -36 dB and a signal-to-noise ratio of 76 dB, the NTG-2 provides clean, detailed audio across its wide frequency range of 20–20,000 Hz, while its dynamic range of 113 dB preserves transient detail in demanding scenes.

Physically, the NTG-2 is compact and lightweight at 280 mm long, 22 mm in diameter and 161 g, making it easy to boom, handhold or mount on a camera. The rugged black finish suits broadcast and location environments.

Connectivity is straightforward with a wired XLR-3 interface and dual power options: standard 48V phantom power for studio or mixer use, or a single AA battery (1.5 V) for camera-mounted or remote shoots when phantom power isn’t available.

This microphone is ideal for run-and-gun documentary work, ENG camera mounting, boom operations on set, and interviews in the field. Its balanced combination of sensitivity, low noise and portability makes it a go-to choice for filmmakers and videographers.
