Introduction

I want to thank you for your purchase of the

NTG-1 shotgun microphone.

The design brief for this microphone was to build a

shotgun that could be used in professional video,

ﬁlm and live stage applications where low noise, a

wide frequency response and tightly controlled polar

patterns are vital.

I am sure t hat once you have used your new mic ro pho n e,

you will agree we achieved our aim.

Likeall microphones, theNTG-1ismanufactured

using the ﬁnest surface mount electronic components

available, and has a body machined of high grade

aluminium which is ﬁnished in hard wearing epoxy

paint.

The heart of any microphone is the capsule, and with

the NTG-1, we have designed and incorporated what

we believe to be one of the best transducers in its

class.

The NTG-1 has many uses; It can be mounted on video

cameras using either the on-board camera mic mounts

or the optional shock mount. The NTG-1 is also suitable

as a boom mounted mic for ﬁlm and video use where it

is desirable to get closer to the sound source yet still be

out of the shot. Another area where the NTG-1 excels is

in a live sound situation, used to great effect as a ‘crowd

mic’ when doing a live band recording.

The NTG-1 comes complete with a heavy duty

microphone holder and a wind cover for ‘moderate’

outdoor applications. has also designed a

series of products which include the Dead Cat wind

sock (for high wind applications) and boom pole as well

as various cables and adaptors. Details of these units

are available on the website www.rodemic.com

Supplying Power

• The NTG-1 requires power to operate. This needs

to be supplied via P48V phantom power supply

which is available from most professional video

cameras or mixing consoles.

• If the mixer or preamp does not contain this

phantom power requirement, then an external

phantom power supply is needed.

• Some phantom power supplies do not supply the

voltage at which they are rated. If the required

voltage is not supplied, the dynamic range and

general performance of the microphone will be

reduced.

• We strongly suggest the use of a reputable high

quality power supply. Damage caused by a faulty

power supply is not covered by the warranty.

*Online product registration required.

• The NTG-1 comes complete with a heavy duty

stand mic holder for mounting the microphone on

any compatible stand with a 3/8” or 5/8” thread.

• Install as shown by pushing the mic in on an angle

coming from the back. You will notice the holder

is quite ﬁrm, and this is intentional so that the

the NTG-1 will not come out easily, which could

damage the mic.

• Make sure you do not block the slots on the side

of the mic (Fig 3) as blocking these will affect the

sound quality and the polar pattern (directional

qualities).

Mounting the NTG-1

- 7 -

• The NTG-1 incorporates a switchable high pass

ﬁlter set at 80 Hz. This can be used when you wish

to remove low frequency noise that is not part of

your intended sound source. Remember however

the tonal characteristics will be affected by this, so

it is important that you listen to the sound with and

without the HPF in circuit before deciding if it is

appropriate for the source.

• The HPF activated by the recessed

switch shown to the right. A small

screwdriver or pen will be required

as the switch is designed to prevent

accidental toggling.

• While it may sound like a contradiction, Shotgun

microphones have a narrow pick-up angle or polar

response, and so can be used to great effect with

cameras for news gathering, weddings, sporting

events or any situation where you want to focus on

a particular area of sound source without having

your audio overpowered by ambient noise.

• The NTG-1 is supplied with a foam windshield.

This windshield should be used even in the

slightest breeze, as this can cause sound

interference.

• When using the mic outside in heavy winds you

may need to purchase a more specialised wind

shield, such as the Dead Cat, which will

provide additional protection from adverse wind

conditions.
