Videoguys Kit- Rode NTG2 Shotgun Boom Microphone KIT

The new RODE NTG-2 is a lightweight condenser shotgunmicrophone, which has been specifically designed forprofessional applications within the film, video, television and production industries.

The NTG-2 provides a balanced low impedance output stage and operates either from an internal 1.5 V battery (AA) or48 V to the P48 standard.

A wide bandwidth and controlled polar response coupled with low noise SMT electronics, makes the NTG-2 the perfect choice for film, video engineering and voice-over work. The NTG-2 is extremely lightweight making it ideal for mounting directlyto video cameras or on boom poles. The NTG-2 comes complete with mount and windshield.The windscreen effectively suppresses wind noise when recording outdoors in moderate conditions.

OperationPower

The NTG-2 is designed to operate from standard P48phantom power or a 1.5 V Alkaline Battery. The NTG-2will operate between 44 V to 52 V applied with positivepolarity to pin 2 and pin 3 via the output XLR connector.

Output Impedance

The NTG-2 will operate satisfactorily into a load impedanceas low as 1 k§Ù. If a load below this is used, the outputsignal level will be reduced.The NTG-2’s output is balanced between pin 2 (hot) andpin 3 (cold). Pin 1 is ground.

The PG2-R is a Pistol Grip Shock Mount designed to reduce handling noise when recording with shotgun microphones in hand held or boompole mounted applications. The PG2-R is equipped with dual Rycote Lyre mounts to ensure maximum isolation from any handling vibrations, four possible mounting points to suit the complete range of compatible Rode shotgun microphones and integrated cable management clip.

The newly designed lightweight handle delivers improvements in both ergonomics and functionality. The cushioned grip houses multiple cable mounting points, with a dedicated space for the PG2-R Pro Cable XLR connector to terminate flush with the base for ease of connectivity. A heavy duty locking nut on the side of the handle ensures smooth adjustment of your microphone angle, whilst a 3/8" thread at the base of the handle provides secure connection to boompoles and microphone stands.

The RØDE WS6 Deluxe Windshield is an easy to use high-performance windshield for shotgun microphones.

Designed to reduce wind noise when recording in adverse environmental conditions, the WS6 combines an open-cell foam surround with an outer layer of acoustically transparent artificial fur.

A rubber base prevents any wind noise from entering the rear of the microphone pickup area.

Suitable for the RØDE NTG1, NTG2, NTG4 and NTG4+ as well as any shotgun microphone with a maximum slot length of 160.5mm (6 1/4") and a diameter of 21-22.5mm.

The RØDE Boompole is a high grade professional boom pole for location recording, machined from high grade aluminum. The boom pole allows you to mount your microphone securely and swivel it in a range of directions that will allow you to easily change positions and follow your sound source.

Premium Microphone Cables are engineered for maximum signal transfer and minimum loss. Designed for low-impedance operation, these balanced cables feature heavy-duty construction and professional Neutrik® connectors. To protect signal quality, each conductor has an individual spiral shield inside the molded insulating sheath. A conductive PVC layer inside each shield dissipates static buildup during flexing.

• Dual copper outer shields and twin conductive PVC inner shields protect cable signal quality with 100% coverage
• Professional Neutrik® connectors ensure superior signal integrity and oustanding strain relief
• Heavy-duty PVC jacket stands up to tough use
• Heavy-duty 24-gauge stranded copper conductors offer optimal signal transfer
• Extra flexibility and low memory for ease of use/storage
