VideoMic NTG
The VideoMic NTG has a host of useful features for making sure your audio is clear and distortion-free when recording loud sound sources, including a high-pass filter to cut rumble, and a safety channel, which records a second track at -20dB that you can substitute for your main track in post-production if it distorts. Additionally, a high-frequency boost setting adds sparkle to your recordings when using windshields and furries to protect against wind noise.
SM7-R Rycote Mount
The VideoMic NTG comes with high-quality shock mounting able to go on-camera or on a boompole. The cable management system with snug slots accommodates all types of cables. And with a sliding rail it the mic can be positioned away from your face when handheld or balanced perfectly on a gimbal.
Foam Windshield
The VideoMic NTG also comes with a high-density foam windshield and is compatible with the WS11 furry windshield (sold separately). We recommend engaging the high frequency boost when using a windshield, which will enhance detail and clarity in your recordings. And remember, you can use the high-pass filters in conjunction with the HF boost
3.5mm Cable and USB-C Cable
An SC10 TRRS patch cable is included for connecting to cameras, smartphones, and other recording devices. The output features intelligent circuitry that automatically detects whether your microphone is plugged into a TRS input (found on most cameras) or a TRRS input (which most smartphones and tablets have) and switches to accommodate. No need for adapters: VideoMic NTG is smartphone, tablet and camera compatible out of the box.
