Q: 1. What does NTG stand for? How about SPL?

A: Maximum SPL 120 dB SPL (1% THD) Might be: "Non Tangential Gradient "

Q: 2. It's compatible whit Deity S mic 2s?

A: No. The Rycote 033202 Super Softie Windshield for Shotgun Mic (5.9" Long, 0.7 to 0.9" Diameter) is too long for use with the Deity S-Mic 2S Short Shotgun Microphone. The S-Mic 2S is 5.83" (148mm) long and the inside depth of the windshield is 5.9" (150mm) long, so which is longer than the length of the microphone. The Rycote 033201 Super Softie Windshield for Shotgun Mic (4.7" Long, 0.7 to 0.9" Diameter) [B&H # RYSS12M] would be a better option. The inside depth of this windshield is 4.7" (120mm).

Q: 3. Which version of the Super Softie works well with the Sanken CS- M1? The Rycote website doesn't include this mic.

A: The Rycote 5cm Super-Softie Windshield (BH #RYSS51922) would be appropriate for the Sanken CS-M1.

Q: 6. Anyone know how to connect the Rode NTG to Apple iPad Air 2019? I use my iPad's lightning cable to NTG's usb-c connector but there is no recognition, not even to charge. Do I really need to purchase the Rode specific cable for an additional 79.99??? HELP!

A: In order to get audio into your Apple iPad Air from the Rode NTG microphone you would connect the TRRS cable from the mic to an Apple Lightning to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter, BH #APLAADAP and then into the lightning port of the iPad. You will not be able to charge the microphone with an iPad.

Q: 7. Does it fits sennheiser mke600?

A: Yes, the Rycote 033203 18cm Super Softie Wind Shield for Shotgun Mics will fit on the Sennheiser MKE 600 Shotgun Microphone, but it is 7" deep and the mic is 10" long, so it may cover too much of the microphone. A better match is the Rycote 033202 Super Softie Windshield for Shotgun Mics (B&H # RYSS15M). which is 5" deep and also lists compatibility with the MKE 600 in the product description.

Q: 8. Will this kit attach to an arm with a 5/8 thread tip?

Q: 9. Can I order it with a black shockmount instead of bright red? Some reviews show it with a black one.

A: I don't think that is possible as there is no option to pick the color of the shock mount.

Q: 10. Are you able to mount the mic sideways onto a cold shoe extension bar?

A: Yes. The orientation of the mic is not important as long as it is pointed directly at the subject.
