  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Main stuff

    • Revolutionary acoustic design, delivering a natural, uncolored sound.
    • Extremely lightweight (just 76g), short shotgun microphone (just 203mm), making it far easier to handle on set than other shotgun mics, especially when used on a boom pole.
    • Tailored frequency response and very low self-noise of just 10dbA, making it ideal for location recording, professional filmmaking, and other critical recording situations.
    • Highly directional supercardioid polar pattern and smooth off-axis response.
    • RF-bias technology and conformal coating ensure superior performance in adverse weather conditions.
    • Comes in a complete location recording kit with windshield, pistol grip and other accessories – the NTG5 is ready to take into the field right out of the box.
    • -23.5 dB re. 1 Volt/Pascal

    The NTG5’s body design has been completely overhauled, with circular acoustic ports replacing the linear slots found in other shotgun mics. The revolutionary design – the result of many months of specialised testing – delivers unmatched acoustic transparency, and a natural, uncoloured sound that will sound superb in a wide variety of applications.

    Sometimes marketing texts are made for strange people :-) Here we already reached level of washing machines design "innovations" level.

    Does a shorter shotgun microphone make it less directional?

    The active part of the line tube of the NTG5 is the same length as the NTG3, maintaining the directional characteristics of shotgun-style mics.

    Rode marketing certainly ahs some weird vision and logic.

    It's still positioned under the NTG3 though?

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    @IronFilm

    Yes, it is positioned as smaller and lighter boom mike :-)

    Much more cheaply made.

    Good UK deal on Amazon 367.7 pounds (about 120 pounds less than usual price) if you buy directly from amazon. They are evil, but 120 pounds savings...
