Description

It features RF-bias technology that yields superior resistance to moisture and condensation, making it suitable for outdoor shoots in adverse conditions. The NTG8 has a rich, warm sound and a tightly controlled polar pattern that with excellent directionality even at lower frequencies. It is the perfect microphone in applications where distance mic’ing is required.

Key Features:

Broadcast-grade long shotgun microphone
Highly resistant to moisture and condensation
Highly directional sound pickup, even at lower frequencies
RF-bias technology
Includes SM8 shock mount for isolation from vibrations and handling noise

Designed to Withstand Adverse Environmental Conditions

When your work takes you outdoors, you’re bound to encounter humidity and condensation, which can cause many mics to fail. The NTG8’s RF bias technology makes it almost completely resistant to moisture, allowing you to reliably capture high-quality audio in normal and adverse environmental conditions. It also includes a weatherproof aluminum storage cylinder for maximum protection during travel.

Broadcast-Quality Sound

The NTG8 was engineered for broadcast-quality sound, enhanced immunity to RF (radio frequency) interference, and low handling noise. Plus, its balanced output allows longer cable runs than most camera-mount shotgun microphones.

The combination of the NTG8’s 22″ long body and supercardioid polar pattern yields focused on-axis directionality with minimal coloration at the on- and off-axis points. The NTG8’s ultralow self-noise of 8 dBA and highly sensitive condenser element allow it to produce detailed audio released from the hiss found in many low-cost microphones.

Phantom Powered

Thanks to its 3-pin XLR output and compliance with 44 to 52 VDC phantom power, the NTG8 is compatible with a variety of handheld audio recorders, field recorders, and mixer adapters as well as built-in preamps on many camcorders and cinema cameras. The NTG8 utilizes a custom-designed XLR connector—specially designed to reduce susceptibility to RF interference from devices such as mobile phones and other transmitters.

Ideal for Boompole or Stand Mounting

The NTG8’s included shockmount ensures easy placement on a mic stand or boompole while impeding the transfer of vibrations to the mic. Additionally, the shockmount features integrated clips for tidy cable management. The mic’s housing is both durable and lightweight, and its matte black finish prevents reflections in the shot.

Windscreen Minimizes Wind Noise

The NTG8 has a foam windscreen to reduce unwanted wind noise from light breezes, fans, heaters, and air conditioners. For maximum reduction of handling noise and wind noise in outdoor environments, consider the separately available Rycote Windshield Kit 11—a complete blimp, furry windshield, and shockmount suspension system.
