“...it [NTG8] sounds sweet, with a gentle HF lift centred around 10kHz, characteristic of the classic shotguns. It will inevitably be compared with the Sennheiser MKH816 and I think it sounds cleaner and less coloured off-axis.”

NTG8

Broadcast Quality RF-bias 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 film, television, sports and outdoor broadcasting, live performance, and any professional distance miking application.

Like the NTG3, the NTG8 features low self-noise, natural sound without colouration both on and off-axis, and RF bias technology to ensure that it is almost completely resistant to high humidity environments which could cause other condenser microphones to fail.

The NTG8 is finished in matte black and supplied with a specially designed shock mount (SM8) that is engineered to provide excellent handling noise isolation, cable management and versatile mounting options for the microphone. A rugged weatherproof aluminium cylinder is also included, providing ultimate protection for the microphone when in transport or storage. The WSNTG8 windshield completes the package, providing light environmental protection.

NTG8 microphone reviews:

“If we start with build, then the RØDE scores very highly. It's beautifully designed and put together, with a smooth matt-black finish and gold plated XLR pins. I've used a smaller RØDE NTG3 as my kit shotgun mic for a number of years, and have found it excellent in every respect - from recording car engines to interviews. It's proved to be extrememly rugged. Its big brother looks like it was built along similar principles... just turning it over in your hands the thing oozes quality. It comes with an aluminium storage cylinder that looks like a riot police baton, and is padded inside to keep the mic safe and dry while on the move. There's also a winshield and shock mount. The [Audio Technica] 4071 came with neither of these out-of-the-box, so it's good to see them included with the RØDE. I hooked the NTG8 up to a Roland R26 portable recorder that had last been used to record an interview in a quiet room. I left all the settings the same, including sensitivity and the input dial. I then went outside to see what sound I could hunt down. I live in a fairly quiet area and as it happened one of my neighbours was getting her toddler into his pushchair and preparing to head out. She lives directly opposite me and we were about fifty to sixty feet apart. Through my headphones I could hear her talking to her child and could hear the toddler gurgling and chattering back, as toddlers do. None of this was particularly audible to the naked ear - you would possibly make out something if you really tried but that was about it. When I turned through 180 degrees, the child's voice dropped dramatically in my headphones. What was also apparent was the birdsong; well, actually crows cawing in the trees and pidgeons cooing on rooftops. With teh mic pointed at them they went from being background atmos to spot fx, clear and crisp. Bearing in mind the record and input levels were all set up for an interview in a quiet study, this was remarkable. Wow. This is an impressive mic. Good build quality, great to use and excellent audio quality. Oh, what a beauty.”
