Rode NTG5 Kit B-Stock

Weighing just 76g and measuring only 203mm, the Rode NTG5 delivers a professional-grade performance similar to that of much longer shotgun microphones, in an ultra-compact format. Despite its size, its supercardioid polar pattern maintains the highly directional properties expected from a top-tier shotgun mic, effectively isolating speech while minimising background noise. The advanced acoustic design - with strategically placed circular ports - enhances transparency and reduces phase distortion, resulting in a natural, uncoloured sound. The RF-bias technology and vacuum-sealed electronics provide exceptional resistance to humidity, temperature fluctuations, and contaminants like dust and sand, making the NTG5 a trusted choice for outdoor production. With its low output impedance, it ensures strong signal transmission, even with lower-gain preamps, allowing for versatile compatibility across a range of recording devices.

Founded in Sydney, Australia in 1990, Rode is a specialist in high-quality studio microphones. With its very first in-house, completely Australian-built model, the NT2 large-diaphragm microphone, the company created a classic which is still produced in its current and enhanced version, the NT2-A. An extensive range of studio and live microphones has also been added, regularly updated, and expanded over the years. These new additions include a variety of professional microphones which are designed for video and mobile applications and can be connected directly to SLR cameras or smartphones.
