NTG2 Premium Multi-Powered Supercardioid Condenser Shotgun Microphone for Location Recording, Foley and Voice Overs

Good

For years, I used a couple of Beyer shotgun mics for filming which were brilliant. Of course, they were very expensive but `you get what you pay for'. When I looked for a new mic the budget didn't stretch to the £500 - £800 mark so decided to buy the Rode having been impressed with the brand in the past. I am not kidding, I prefer the Rode! It handles sound beautifully, is extremely directional while eliminating unwanted noise and performs faultlessly in many challenging conditions. Yes, there is handling noise so you have to be a little careful to mount it in such a way that this doesn't interfere with you recordings, but that's a small issue and common with more expensive products too. Comes with a foam sock, mount and ten year warranty...which is amazing when you think about the cost you're paying. I've always considered mics an inexact science as there are so many variables. But this Rode mic proves that broadcast quality is available for £150 and I would, without hesitation, buy another. Just a note...buy the NT2 if you can. For the small additional amount, the battery option gives true flexibility.

Light weight, and strong. It came with everything. The clip holder, for a mic stand. The USB charge cable. The Sticker. Plus opportunity for 10 year warranty, upon proper registration. Zipper case. The one Con: you need to plug in the mini USB into the "blind hole". While I understand the cavity protects the mini USB, plugging it in, is awkward. Because you need to properly align the plug to the receptacle, at the bottom of the XLR plug. But this is the proper location for such a plug, and not a deal breaker,to plug It in and charge it. Then 3 green LEDS blink 1-2-3, while charging. But what a beautiful Microphone. And not overly long, unless you demand something less than 10.94 " Just under 11 inches long. The audio quality is Immortal as well. Your basically getting a $1000 microphone for about $300. Making it hands down, Best in Class. That being said, be advised it took over hour to charge it, on my computer USB port.

NUTZE ICH AUF DER ARBEIT, FÜR ALLE DREHS UND BIN TATSÄCHLICH ZUFRIEDEN. DER TON IST ZUFRIEDENSTELLEND. PREIS PASST. QUALITÄT GUT.

Although this mic seems outdated for many people because there are hundreds of new models everywhere, it still can perform and compete with even the 2024 models, my experience, is to make sure the XLR cable is far from power cables, and the phone is on plane mode to avoid any kind of interference and noise. It is a must have mic even in the 2024, Durable, light and high quality sound, it is even cheap for what it has as a whole package of items and performance.

The seller leveled this microphone a USB Microphone. But this microphone is not USB Microphone. It is a XLR microphone. USB Port is for charging battery only. Use Audio Interface with this microphone. I have got it. The best one. I was using a dynamic microphone. Dynamic microphone are very sensitive to plosive. RODE NTG+ is plosive free. Excellent quality. I am lucky because I get at discunted price.
