Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of the RØDE NTG8
precision broadcast-grade shotgun microphone.
Based on RØDE’s award winning NTG3, the NTG8
is a broadcast quality RF-bias shotgun microphone
that exhibits increased directionality across a wide
frequency response range. This makes the NTG8
the perfect microphone for fi lm, television, sports
and outdoor broadcasting, live performance, or any
professional distance miking application.
Like the NTG3, the NTG8 features low self noise,
natural sound without colouration both on and offaxis, and RF bias technology to ensure that it is almost
completely resistant to high humidity environments
which could make other condenser microphones fail.
Please take the time to visit www.rodemic.com and
register your microphone for a free ten year extended
warranty.
While there you can view studio/fi eld tips and
techniques, as well as browse the comprehensive
range of accessories for the NTG8 and other RØDE
microphones and products.
