Rode NTG2 Shotgun Condenser Microphone

There’s a dirty secret in the A/V industry, and no, you won’t find it reported between the covers of Star or National Enquirer . Camcorder manufacturers will pretend to ignore it, lens manufacturers will deny it, and your DP will take personal offense at the implication, but it’s an unspoken truth amongst audiences everywhere: sound makes or breaks a film. So what’s an independent filmmaker or startup videographer on a budget supposed to do? Rely on their MiniDV cam’s built-in mic? Dub everything in post? No! They get themselves a Rode NTG-2 and enter the world of professional broadcast-quality sound capture at an unprecedented low price! Broadcast Quality Sound Capture Humans have been doing this film thing for a while now, and today’s audiences are simply conditioned to expect a certain quality in their soundtracks. The Rode NTG-2 has a frequency response tailored specifically for broadcast and film performance, with a nearly perfectly flat response up to 1.4kHz, an airy boost at 10kHz and a switchable bass roll-off at sub 80Hz. In short, the NTG-2 sounds like professionally produced audio should. So where will you use your NTG-2?
