NTG-2
I want to thank you for your purchase of a
NTG-2 .
Please take the time to read this manual as it
contains information that will help you achieve the
best results from your microphone, as well as help
you get many years of reliable service from your
investment.
The design brief for this microphone was to build
a shotgun that could be used in professional video,
film and live stage applications where low noise,
a wide frequency response and tightly controlled
polar patterns are vital. I am sure that once you
have used your new microphone, you will agree we
achieved our aim!
Like all
microphones the NTG-2 is
manufactured using the finest surface mount
electronic components available, and has a body
machined of high grade aluminium which is finished
in hard wearing epoxy paint. The heart of any
microphone is the capsule, and with the NTG-2, we
have designed and incorporated what we believe to
be one of the best transducers in its class.
The NTG-2 has many uses. It can be mounted on
video cameras using either the on-board camera
mic mounts or the optional
shock mount.
The NTG-2 is also suitable as a boom mounted mic
for film and video use where it is desirable to get
closer to the sound source yet still be out of the
shot. Another area where the NTG-2 excels is in a
live sound situation, and the NTG-2 is perfect for
plays, as well as a cymbal overhead mic or can be
used to great effect as a ‘crowd mic’ when doing
a live band recording. One other great feature
of the NTG-2 is it can be powered by both 48V
phantom, or an internal AA 1.5v battery.
The NTG-2 comes complete with a heavy duty
microphone holder and a wind cover for ‘moderate’
outdoor applications.
has also designed
a series of products which include ‘furry’ wind
socks (for high wind applications), pistol grips
and boom poles as well as cables and adaptors.
