Rode NTG-2 Dual Powered Directional Condenser Microphone. 

The new RODE NTG-2 is a lightweight condenser shotgun microphone, designed for professional applications within the film, video, television and production industries.

The NTG-2 provides a balanced low impedance output stage and operates either from an internal 1.5 V battery (AA) or 48 V to the P48 standard. A wide bandwidth and controlled polar response coupled with low noise SMT electronics, makes the NTG-2 the perfect choice for film, video engineering and voice-over work. The NTG-2 is extremely lightweight making it ideal for mounting directly to video cameras or on boom poles.

The NTG-2 comes complete with mount and windshield. The windscreen effectively suppresses wind noise when recording outdoors in moderate conditions

• Broadcast sound quality.
• Low noise circuitry.
• Condenser transducer.
• Rugged metal construction.
• Low weight: 160 grams approx. (5.17 oz.).
• Low handling noise. 

Operation power: 
 
The NTG-2 is designed to operate from standard P48 phantom power or a 1.5 V Alkaline Battery. The NTG-2 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-2 will operate satisfactorily into a load impedance as low as 1 kOhm. If a load below this is used, the output signal level will be reduced. The NTG-2's output is balanced between pin 2 (hot) and pin 3 (cold). Pin 1 is ground.
