Based on RØDE's award-winning NTG3 shotgun microphone, the NTG8 is a broadcast-quality RF-biased shotgun microphone with greater directionality across a wide frequency range. The NTG8 is an excellent microphone for film, television, sports broadcasting, live performance and anywhere professional-quality sound needs to be captured from a distance.
Like the NTG3, the NTG8 has low self-noise and a natural, uncoloured sound both on and off axis. Thanks to new technology it is almost completely weatherproof, even in high-humidity environments where other condenser microphones would fail.
The NTG8 has a matte black finish and comes with a custom shock mount (SM8) designed to isolate handling noise, help with cable management and offer versatile mounting options. Also included are the WSNTG8 windshield and a rugged, weatherproof aluminium cylinder that gives the microphone superior protection in storage and transport.
