Rode NTG5KIT Broadcast Shotgun Microphone Kit

The NTG5 redefines what a professional shotgun microphone can be, combining revolutionary acoustic engineering with an ultra-compact design that weighs just 76 grams. This groundbreaking microphone features circular acoustic ports instead of traditional linear slots, a design breakthrough that took months of specialised testing to perfect. The result is unmatched acoustic transparency and a natural, uncoloured sound that excels across demanding recording applications, particularly location work and professional filmmaking where audio quality cannot be compromised.

Built for the rigours of professional use, the NTG5 measures just over 20cm in length, making it a boom operator’s ideal companion during extended shoots. The super-lightweight aluminium construction doesn’t sacrifice durability – RF-bias circuitry and conformal coating provide exceptional resistance to high humidity, severe cold, dampness, and dust. This robust engineering ensures reliable performance in the harshest environmental conditions where other microphones might fail.

The NTG5’s technical specifications are equally impressive, featuring a tightly controlled frequency response, remarkably low self-noise at just 10dBA, and a highly directional supercardioid polar pattern with smooth off-axis response. These characteristics combine to create a microphone that sounds spectacular across diverse recording scenarios, making it the perfect choice for location recording and demanding filmmaking applications where broadcast-grade audio is absolutely essential.
