The RODE NTG8 is a precision broadcast-grade long shotgun microphone optimized for outdoor film, broadcast, and field recording applications. It features RF-bias technology for superior moisture resistance and low self-noise, making it ideal for humid or adverse environments. With a tightly focused supercardioid polar pattern and extended interference tube, it delivers exceptional directionality and natural off-axis response. The NTG8 includes the SM8 shock mount, wind shield, and weatherproof aluminum storage cylinder.
