Great Isolation and SNR

The directionality and SNR on this microphone are super! We are able to get superb audio using it in our shop which is right next to the Interstate without having to resort to extensive post-recording processing.

RØDE NTG5 Location Recording Kit

Groundbreaking Acoustic Design. Excellence In Audio Recording.

Capturing sound should be as easy as it sounds. RØDE kept that in mind when they designed the RØDE NTG5, the newest addition to their NTG Shotgun Microphone family. With its revolutionary acoustic body & specifications, the NTG5 was made to record professional grade, broadcast audio for any and all genres of production.

A Compact Tool For Your Big Project.

Surprisingly lightweight at just 76 grams, brilliantly compact at 203mm, the NTG5 is the industry standard for catching voluminous audio in a petite package.

First Class Noise Filtering.

A Tailored Frequency Response of just 10dBA, low self-noise, and a highly directional super-cardioid polar pattern ensures you are only getting the audio as per the script, muting all background activity.

A Boom Op's Dream.

RØDE has remained the top of its class and the unquestioned favorite among Boom Operators, bringing back the RF-Bias Circuitry that continues to make their shotgun mics the most adverse-weather-proof in the industry. The NTG5 kit comes fully equipped with the new WS10 windshield, a redesigned pistol grip, and more, so you’re ready for sound and speed straight out of the box.

Crafted with a revolutionary acoustic design, the NTG5 delivers a natural, uncolored sound that professionals in the broadcasting and filmmaking industries have come to trust. Its smooth off-axis response maintains the integrity of the audio even when the source moves slightly out of the direct pickup area, making it a versatile tool for dynamic recording environments.

The microphone's lightweight aluminum construction, weighing in at just 76g, and its compact length of 203mm, make it an ideal companion for location recording. Whether mounted on a boom pole or used handheld, the NTG5's ergonomic design ensures ease of handling, reducing fatigue during extended shooting sessions.

Equipped with RF-bias technology and a conformal coating, the NTG5 is reliably resistant to a wide range of adverse environmental conditions, from humidity to electromagnetic interference. This makes it a reliable option for outdoor shoots and challenging on-set conditions where quality cannot be compromised.

With an impressively low self-noise of just 10dBA, this microphone is tailored for capturing the subtle nuances of your audio source without unwanted noise, making it perfect for professional filmmaking, broadcast journalism, and other critical recording situations.
