Introduction

Thank you for your purchase of the RØDE NTG8 
precision broadcast-grade shotgun microphone.

Based on RØDE’s award winning NTG3, the NTG8 
is a broadcast quality RF-bias shotgun microphone 
that exhibits increased directionality across a wide 
frequency response range. This makes the NTG8 
the perfect microphone for fi lm, television, sports 
and outdoor broadcasting, live performance, or any 
professional distance miking application.

Like the NTG3, the NTG8 features low self noise, 
natural sound without colouration both on and off-
axis, and RF bias technology to ensure that it is almost 
completely resistant to high humidity environments 
which could make other condenser microphones fail.

Please take the time to visit 

www.rodemic.com

 and 

register your microphone for a free ten year extended 
warranty.

While there you can view studio/fi eld tips and 
techniques, as well as browse the comprehensive 
range of accessories for the NTG8 and other RØDE 
microphones and products.
