Rode NTG8

Broadcast quality RF-bias shotgun microphone that is based on RØDE's award winning NTG3 shotgun microphone and exhibits increased directionality across a wide frequency response range. This makes it the perfect microphone for film, television, sports and outdoor broadcasting, live performance, and any professional distance miking application. Like the NTG3, the microphone features low self-noise, natural sound without colouration both on and off-axis, and RF bias technology to ensure that it is almost completely resistant to high humidity environments which could cause other condenser microphones to fail. It is finished in matte black and supplied with a specially designed shock mount (SM8) that is engineered to provide excellent handling noise isolation, cable management and versatile mounting options for the microphone. A rugged weatherproof aluminium cylinder is also included, providing ultimate protection for the microphone when in transport or storage. The WSNTG8 windshield completes the package, providing light environmental protection. Frequency range: 40 Hz-20 kHz. Output impedance: 25 Ohm. Maximum SPL: 124 dB SPL (@ 1 kHz, 1% THD into 1kOhm load). Maximum output level: 8.2 mV. Sensitivity: -20.0dB re 1 V/Pa (97.5 mV @ 94 dB SPL) +/- 2 dB @ 1kHz. Equivalent noise level (A-weighted): 8 dB-A. Dimensions: 559 x 19 mm. Weight: 345 g.
