4) Now that you have the NTG-2 securely
fastened to your camera or mic stand,
and the audio output lead connected, you
are ready to use the mic.
The NTG-2 also incorporates a switchable
high pass filter set at 80 Hz. This is
activated by switching the recessed
switch shown in fig.(11 & 12).
fig. 11 - NTG-2 Controls
A small screwdriver or even a pen will
work for this application. Use the high
pass filter when you wish to remove
low frequency noise that is not part of
your intended sound source. Remember
however the tonal characteristics will be
affected by this, so it is important that
you listen to the sound with and without
the HPF in circuit before deciding if it is
appropiate for the source.
NTG-2 Windshield
5) The NTG-2 comes with a foam windshield.
The windshield should be used even in
the slightest breeze as this can cause
sound interference. When using the mic
outside in heavy winds you may need to
purchase a more specialised wind shield.
RODE has a full line of accessories such as
windshields, boom poles, cable extenders
and pistol grips which will be available in
early 2005.

6) While it may sound like a contradiction,
shotgun mics are not designed for long
distance pick up. I have heard people
ask, "How far away can this mic pickup
sound?". Of course you can boost
the gain level on your camera and
you will hear more defined sounds
over a longer distance than with
conventional microphones.
Long distance pick up microphones
include parabolic reflector systems and
more recently adaptive arrays using
multiple capsules and Digital Signal
Processing (DSP) technologies.
Shotgun microphones have a narrow
pick-up angle or polar response, and
so can be used to great effect with
cameras for news gathering, weddings
or sporting events.
