NTG - 2 NTG - 2

I want to thank you for your purchase of a

NTG-2 .

Please take the time to read this manual as it

contains information that will help you achieve the

best results from your microphone, as well as help

you get many years of reliable service from your

investment.

The design brief for this microphone was to build

a shotgun that could be used in professional video,

lm 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 microphone, you will agree we

achieved our aim!

Like all microphones the NTG-2 is

manufactured using the nest surface mount

electronic components available, and has a body

machined of high grade aluminium which is nished

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 lm 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, and the NTG-2 is perfect for

plays, as well as a cymbal overhead mic or can be

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

a live band recording. One other great feature

of the NTG-2 is it can be powered by both 48V

phantom, or an internal AA 1.5v battery.

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 ‘furry’ wind

socks (for high wind applications), pistol grips

and boom poles as well as cables and adaptors.

Power Your NTG-2

1) The NTG-2 requires power to operate.

This can either be supplied via 48V

phantom supply which is available from

most professional video cameras or

mixing consoles. As well as this you have

the option of using an internal 1.5V AA

battery. The battery life is approx. 500

hours if you use a fresh high quality

alkaline unit.

2) To insert a battery turn the lower barrel

anti clockwise to unscrew (as shown in

Fig. 1). It will not come off the end of the

mic so do not try and force it.

3) Slide the cover down which will reveal

the battery compartment(Fig. 2). Then

place the battery ‘end rst’ checking

polarity using the diagram printed on the

sticker in the base as a guide (Fig. 3)

Simply re-tighten the end barrel turning

clockwise until reasonably tight (Fig. 5).

WARNING: Do not leave batteries in the

mic if it will not be used for long periods.

Apart from draining, batteries can leak

and destroy your NTG-2.

Mounting your NTG-2

2) The NTG-2 comes complete with a heavy

duty stand mic holder as shown in gures

6 - 8.

Install as shown by pushing the mic in on

an angle coming from the back. You will

notice the holder is quite rm, and this

is intentional so that the the NTG-2 will

not come out easily, which could damage

the mic.

Make sure you do not

block the slots on the

side of the mic (Fig 3)

as blocking these will

affect the sound quality

and the polar pattern

(directional qualities).

Connecting your XLR cable

3) The NTG-2 offers a balanced microphone

level output and is wired Pin 1 earth,

Pin2 + and Pin3 -. Make sure you use a

high quality low loss cable that is as short

as practical to avoid losses and distortion

(see Fig 9 and Fig 10).

A small screwdriver or even a pen will

work for this application. Use the high

pass lter 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

appropiate for the source.

NTG-2 Windshield

5) The NTG-2 comes with a foam windshield.

The 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.

RODE has a full line of accessories such as

windshields, boom poles, cable extenders

and pistol grips which will be available in

early 2005.

NTG-2 Controls

4) Now that you have the NTG-2 securely

fastened to your camera or mic stand,

and the audio output lead connected, you

are ready to use the mic.

The NTG-2 also incorporates a switchable

high pass lter set at 80 Hz. This is

activated by switching the recessed

switch shown in g.(11 & 12).

Flat Response

6) While it may sound like a contradiction,

shotgun mics are not designed for long

distance pick up. I have heard people

ask, “How far away can this mic pickup

sound?”. Of course you can boost

the gain level on your camera and

you will hear more dened sounds

over a longer distance than with

conventional microphones.

Long distance pick up microphones

include parabolic reector systems and

more recently adaptive arrays using

multiple capsules and Digital Signal

Processing (DSP) technologies.

Shotgun microphones have a narrow

pick-up angle or polar response, and

so can be used to great effect with

cameras for news gathering, weddings

or sporting events.

Warranty Service

The NTG-2 is warranted for two years

from the date of purchase and the warranty

card should be used to record and register

that purchase.

The warranty covers parts and labour that

may be required to repair the microphone

during the warranty period.

The warranty excludes defects caused by

normal wear and tear, modification, shipping

damage, or failure to use the microphone as

per the instruction guide.

If you experience any problems or have any

questions regarding your microphone,

first, contact the dealer who sold it to

you. If the microphone requires factory

authorized service, that dealer will

organise return.

We have an extensive distributor/dealer

network but if you have difficulty getting

the advice or assistance you require, do not

hesitate to contact us directly or contact

your local distributor.
