Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is this mic stereo?

A: No, it's mono. It can be split to stereo depending on your recorder and editor. Cheers!

Q: 2. I want to ceiling mount this. Will the springs/joints work with gravity working in the opposite direction?

A: This boom arm is not designed to be mounted from the ceiling. The clamp that attaches to the arm to the desk will not secure the arm to hang upside down. The clamp needs to be mounted upright so the arm inserts from above the clamp.

Q: 3. Can I use this mic for recording birds, rain and other nature sounds?

A: This is a directional condenser microphone. It is sensitive to picking up many different things if you are close enough to the sound source by a few feet.

Q: 4. What is the minimum equipment required to get this working with my Panasonic GH4? Just and XLR to TRS 3.5mm converter?

A: Yes! If your using an on camera solution.

Q: 5. Is the xlr to mini cord compatible with a 3.5mm jack? Like, could I just just use that cord and connect it straight to my camera through the microphone jack?

A: Yes that's what that cable is for. Mini is just another name for 3.5mm.

Q: 6. Does the Rode NTG2 have an on/off switch?

A: The Rode NTG-2 features no on/off switch. It is recommended that you remove the batteryfrom the unit when the microphone is not in use as it is always drawing current.

Q: 7. Is it compatible with DSLR cameras?

A: Not exactly. The cable attached to the mic is XLR and that is typically run into a separate recorder such as a Zoom H4n or similar. I think you could get an XLR to headphone jack adapter to plug into a DSLR if you can choose the mic input on your camera to accept audio. It's recommended to attach this mic to a separate audio recorder and sync the footage and audio in post. This is a very good mic.

Q: 8. How long is the mic?

A: The mic is 11 inches

Q: 9. Does this work well with video booths? Like not picking up a lot of the DJ music and crowd talking? I just want to make sure the video recorded you can hear the people talking and making the video.

A: that's kind of a tough question. I love my NTg2 mic, it works much better than I thought using a windscreen and as well as being directional to block out some noise. If you are in a noisy environment why not double up on this along with a lab mic for best results?

Q: 10. Can I leave the AA battery in or do I need to remove it when I'm done recording?

A: You can leave a AA battery inside of the RODE NTG2 Shotgun Microphone as long as you will be using the mic again within a few days. Otherwise, it is always best to remove the battery from an electronic device that will not be used for a while in order to prevent damage from problems caused by the battery leaking.
