Power Your NTG-1
1) The NTG-1 requires power to operate.
This is supplied via 48V phantom supply
which is available from most professional
video cameras or mixing consoles.
Mounting your NTG-1
2) The NTG-1 comes complete with a heavy
duty stand mic holder as shown in figures
1 - 3.
Install as shown by pushing the mic in on
an angle coming from the back. You will
notice the holder is quite firm, and this
is intentional so that the the NTG-1 will
not come out easily, which could damage
the mic.
Make sure you do not
block the slots on the
side of the mic (Fig 3)
as blocking these will
affect the sound quality
and the polar pattern
(directional qualities).
Connecting your XLR cable
3) The NTG-1 offers a balanced microphone
level output and is wired Pin 1 earth,
Pin2 + and Pin3 -. Make sure you use a
high quality low loss cable that is as short
as practical to avoid losses and distortion
(see Fig 4 and Fig 5).

4) Now that you have the NTG-1 securely
fastened to your camera or mic stand,
and the audio output lead connected, you
are ready to use the mic.
The NTG-1 also incorporates a switchable
high pass filter set at 80 Hz. This is
activated by the recessed switch shown in
fig.(6 & 7).

HPF Control
High Pass Filter
- (HPF)
Flat Response
A small screwdriver or even a pen will
work for this application. Use the high
pass filter when you wish to remove
low frequency noise that is not part of
your intended sound source. Remember
however the tonal characteristics will be
affected by this, so it is important that
you listen to the sound with and without
the HPF in circuit before deciding if it is
appropiate for the source.
NTG-1 Windshield
5) The NTG-1 comes with a foam windshield.
The windshield should be used even in
the slightest breeze as this can cause
sound interference. When using the mic
outside in heavy winds you may need to
purchase a more specialised wind shield.
RODE has a full line of accessories such as
windshields, boom poles, cable extenders
and pistol grips which will be available in
early 2005.
