RODE NTG-1 Directional Condenser Microphone (requires 48v 'Phantom Power')

  
The RODE NTG-1 is a lightweight condenser shotgun microphone, specifically designed for professional applications within the film, video, television, voice-over and ENG industries.

The NTG-1 provides an electronically balanced output stage and operates on 48 V to the P48 standard. The NTG-1 offers wide bandwidth and a controlled polar response coupled with low noise SMT electronics. The NTG-1 is extremely lightweight making it ideal for mounting directly to video cameras (with optional accessories) or a Boom pole.

The NTG-1 comes complete with mount and windshield. The supplied windscreen effectively suppresses wind noise when recording outdoors in moderate conditions. Optional accessories are available for more demanding applications.

Operation power:
 
 The NTG-1 is designed to operate from standard P48 phantom power. The NTG-1 will operate between 44 V to 52 V applied with positive polarity to pin 2 and pin 3 via the output XLR connector.
 
Operation output impedance:
 
 The NTG-1 will operate satisfactorily into a load impedance as low as 1 k??. If a load below this is used, the output signal level will be reduced. The NTG-1??s output is balanced between pin 2 (hot), pin 3 (cold) and pin 1 is ground.
