The NTG5 features a short, super-lightweight aluminium body (just 76g!), making it one of the most compact professional shotgun mics available – a dream for boom operators who find themselves on long shoots, or filmmakers and sound recordists looking for a more portable and lightweight rig that delivers spectacular, broadcast-grade audio.
With a tightly controlled frequency response, low self-noise, highly directional supercardioid polar pattern, and smooth off-axis response, the NTG5 sounds spectacular in a wide variety of applications. It also boasts RF-bias technology and conformal coating on the electronics, which protect the microphone from moisture and humidity and ensure it is incredibly reliable even iin harsh environmental conditions. The NTG5 is the perfect mic for location recording and demanding filmmaking scenarios where superlative audio is imperative. No excuses.
