Power Your NTG-2
1) The NTG-2 requires power to operate.
This can either be supplied via 48V
phantom supply which is available from
most professional video cameras or
mixing consoles. As well as this you have
the option of using an internal 1.5V AA
battery. The battery life is approx. 500
hours if you use a fresh high quality
alkaline unit.
2) To insert a battery turn the lower barrel
anti clockwise to unscrew (as shown in
Fig. 1). It will not come off the end of the
mic so do not try and force it.
3) Slide the cover down which will reveal
the battery compartment(Fig. 2). Then
place the battery ‘end first’ checking
polarity using the diagram printed on the
sticker in the base as a guide (Fig. 3)
Simply re-tighten the end barrel turning
clockwise until reasonably tight (Fig. 5).
WARNING: Do not leave batteries in the
mic if it will not be used for long periods.
Apart from draining, batteries can leak
and destroy your NTG-2.

Mounting your NTG-2
2) The NTG-2 comes complete with a heavy
duty stand mic holder as shown in figures
6 - 8.
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-2 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-2 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 9 and Fig 10).
