The VideoMic NTG is extremely flexible, with an array of features to help you take on any recording situation. Digital switching gives you access to a high-pass filter (flat/75Hz/150Hz), a high-frequency boost for enhancing clarity and detail, a pad (with a -20dB cut), and a safety channel. It also features a unique infinitely variable gain control for precisely tailoring your output to your recording device, an auto-sensing 3.5mm output that accommodates connection to both cameras and mobile devices (no more messing around with adaptor cables), and a handy peak warning light so you can ensure your audio never clips.
In addition to being a incredible on-camera microphone, the VideoMic NTG is a fully-featured USB microphone that can be plugged into a computer, perfect for recording voice-overs, podcasts, gaming or livestreaming. When in USB mode, the 3.5mm jack doubles as a headphone output for seamless audio monitoring. The VideoMic NTG also pairs perfectly with tablets and smartphones, turning your mobile device into a pro-quality content creation machine.
The VideoMic NTG features the same revolutionary line tube technology as the RØDE NTG5, which employs acoustic perforations along the length of the microphone in place of the linear slots found in other shotguns and on-camera microphones. This innovative design delivers unmatched transparency, and a natural, uncoloured sound. Add to this an incredibly flat frequency response, highly directional supercardioid polar pattern, and very low self-noise, and what you have is a compact on-camera microphone that contends with the world’s best shotgun mics.

This comprehensive user guide covers everything you need to know from getting started, including an overview of all controls and functionality, to accessing advanced features and ensuring you can get the most out of your microphone.
Your VideoMic NTG firmware can be updated with RØDE Central on a computer. The option to update will appear as soon as your microphone is plugged in via USB.
Note: This feature is only possible when using RØDE Central on desktop.
