  • Such a nice performance of an great artist :-)

  • Do you have some examples of the NTG 2 plugged into a tascam DR100? I've heard it's a little weak.

  • very good quality, sound and video, wich camera did you use?

  • The background view is so amazing, stunning :D

  • beautiful!!!

  • How would The RODE NTG-2 work recording dialogs of three actors in the middle of a concert, they would be acting and sepaking among the crowd and the music very loud. The cam would be Sony Z7.

  • Do you have a extra mix on the acoustic guitar? The sound from it is very clear and crisp. I just can't believe that the Rode NTG2 on a boom could get such results. I'm a wrong?

  • @HyperColours Straight RODE NTG-2 shotgun right into the camera. The broadcast camera (Panasonic HPX500) has really clean pre-amps. We were also quite shocked at how well the mic and camera performed together - great combo.

  • The pickup on this thing is amazing! I can even stick it next to my neighbors wall and hear everything going on in their bedroom. 

  • Was that the mic used the entire time? or was it the on board during the interview? I think her voice sounded very hollow and tin like, but then great during her song? You could eq those bad frequencies out but that's a lot of extra work.

  • Fire your boom operator.

  • @Lucifer9387 They had the boom in the shot so you could see how close the microphone was, relative to the signal source. But go on with your interesting story and everything.

  • is this plugged into the camera or a recorder?

  • @wonderwall135 Thanks for asking. The RODE NTG-2 is plugged directly into a broadcast camera. The model is the Panasonic HPX500. This camera has great built-in pre-amps. Most cameras have poor pre-amps so a field mixer would definitely help to acquire this type of sound. It starts with the mic, but to get the best sound, you need a good mixer, and a good recorder or camera with decent pre-amps. Hope this helps!

  • Sold..

  • @simen9002 Cool. Hope you get it at our store - DVeStore.com!

  • what camera are you using?

  • @524megan We recorded this sample direct into the Panasonic HPX500

  • Sold :)

  • Where is this place???? I want to go to live there!

  • She sounds amazing! I'm mesmerized.

  • Got a little boom it the shot there buddy.

  • @SickGrp26 Since this was about the mic, dont think its a problem. Also the horizon was waayyyy off.

  • Her voice is spectacular :]

    And thanks for the insight/sound lol on this mic

  • Her voice is spectacular :]

  • Hey, were you using phantom power when this what shot?

  • Comment removed

  • what did you record the audio onto? H4n? or directly to a camera?

  • You just sold me on a RODE NTG-2... amazing performance in a location with so much background noise going on...

  • I clicked on this video for the micro test, but the singer and her song is even better! Keep it on, you're inspired and inspiring!

  • I like it!!! Good luck...

    Mike

    Spain.-

  • top marks for anyone who can tell me what make of guitar she is using, i want to get it

  • This sounds great! Im in the market for a mic kit. I need to put purchase one/put one together within the next few weeks. Do you guys offer any discounts on package deals? (mic, shock mount, zeppelin, boom pole, cable, etc). I went to the website, but didnt see any special deals or any superb offers. Amazon runs about the same price you guys do, but they have package deals. Id like to avoid buying everything in pieces/individually if possible.

  • @jasonwbaca Great! Your best bet is to give us a call at 1-877-353-8077 and we'll put together a package for you. The best selling package is the one in the "info" link above. It's $499 for the NTG-2, 10' Boom pole, SM3 shockmount, K-TEK wind muff and Audio Technica XLR cables. Use the coupon code "youtube" and you'll save even more!

  • @dvestore

    what if we don't want the boom pole? would it be a lot cheaper or just a little?

  • Hi.What cabel are you using 

  • @FlashlightArts Audio Technica Premium 30' XLR - it's included in the DVcreator Location Sound Package

  • Was this EQ'd at all, or is the audio untreated?

  • @manonthedollar Untreated - No EQ or effects.

  • @dvestore wow... when I don't use EQ I don't have such a nice sound... :( maybe the problem is that the sound is transferred throught mini-jack :(

  • @TomasCimma Yes, you'll want a high quality recorder to get the best sound. Ideally, a field mixer in front would sound even better. This sample was direct into a high-end professional Panasonic HPX500 broadcast camera via XLR.

  • how many mics you use for these?

  • @bluedemoncmll You're hearing just a single NTG-2

  • what camera do you use? :D

  • @RockerTheJuniorr That would be a Panasonic HPX500 with an ND grad filter.

  • @dvestore thnx ;)

  • Nice video, does this mic record surround or stereo?

  • @TMBofficialschannel Thanks for asking. The NTG-2 is a mono mic. It outputs neither stereo or surround, unless you use multiple.

  • Sweetie you have a beautiful voice. I'm sold on the NGT-2, this demonstrates the great sound it picks up.

  • Excellent video! Looking at getting a microphone but unsure what to get as I want to film indoors and outside.

    Any recommendations for a good all-rounder would be most appreciated @dvstore?

    P.S That girl is good!

  • use for XLR?

  • good video! :) thanks for this :)

  • Notice the clarity and richness of sound in both speech and music applications, and notice the wind on her hair as she sings, and no wind noise at all!!! A real Asset for Rode mics this NTG2 ...Not just a great mic for the money, but simply a great MIC...regardless the low price, you can compare it with AKG C568B or others similar any day of the week...

  • how i can fasten the rode ntg 2 on my canon hg21?

    PLS HELP ME!

  • how i can fix the microphon?

    where is the microphon fixed? on the camera? in the video

  • i want to buy a microphon for our movies.

    is the ntg 2good?

  • @MadHouseArts yes, very good!

  • gotto be honest, you were better than the original :)

  • WOW Just ordered one of these mic's.

    Glad i did. that sounds AMAZING!

  • I am well afraid which this video does not have of continuation

  • Very good music, very good sound, good microphone, girl superb and full with talent.

    AMAZING VIDEO.

  • love the real world situation recording and the visible wind - wonderful quality of her singing. A bit muffled in the beginning with her speech, but still very decent.

    Can we assume that this is with the sm3 shock mount?

  • I'm about to buy a microphone for my filming, But unfortunately, can't spend a lot. I was in for the NTG2. At the moment, I all ready have the RODE pole and shock mount. (am operating on an other mic) Asking some people, I've been told, that RODE mics have the problem of making noises when they are moved. Every single small hit on the pole, will affect the mic. And obviously I don't want this. Is there any solution? Or maybe a mic which is ideal for this stuff at low prices.

    Thanks.

  • @xonkarate The RODE Blimp would be ideal as the bands are much stiffer and positioned in a manner as to suspend the mic in mid air without it being able to twist and bounce around. The less expensive SM3, SM4, SM5 shock mounts will translate bumps and other noises if you're not careful.

  • ih thanks a lot

    so its the matter of the shock mount rather than the mike it self.

    Thankyou

  • @dvestore

    Hi

    I've got the NTG2 :)!

    Though I've had a small problem,

    (it's not a problem actually)

    but the sound is sort of getting more bass.

    Is that normal? Or am I doing something wrong? or maybe I have to edit it in the editing process?!

    thanks

  • @xonkarate Congratulations on getting the NTG-2! It's fast becoming one of the world's most popular shotgun microphones. There is a low-cut switch to provide bass roll-off. Simply flip the switch and it will cut out the low end sound.

  • @xonkarate it's normal you heard lot's of bass. you have a -10db pad on your microphone. you must swich it, It decrase the bass frequencies of 10db. It better to use the -10db pad on the microphone, than on editing process, because you win a beach of wider dynamique.

  • @th4002 Ic :) I get the point!

    So for a better results, I'd better shoot with the -10dB, and when editing u just increase those 10dB from the sound editing.

    Thanks alot!

  • @xonkarate lol, you're funny. -10db is for recording voices without plosives, (nondistant person). You can use the -10db when you record on a city landscape, for decrease the car's sound back ground, you can use it when you record on a travelling car. In fact, when it seems to you there is lot's of bass, swich on the -10db. If not, don't use it. Byebye :)

  • @th4002 A! That's explains better hahha!

    Sorry for the mis-understanding :)!

    Bye!! Cheers!

  • @dvestore I have the blimp and I can confirm that it does not pick up and noise provided by moving the boompole around.

  • i ordered this mic yesterday.. cant wait to try it out =)

  • nice

    but your boom man must be tired cause hes killing the frame!

  • @dannysuru LMAO.

  • hey,

    I wanted to ask if you lose quality when you plug in the mic on a 20$ xlr adapter, because I want to record from a laptop-

    thanks

  • Do a search for MXL Mic mate, we have 'em in our store - it's a USB to XLR adapter and will provide way better sound.

  • thanks!

  • I was considering the Videomic, but was unimpressed with the results. After watcing this vidoe, I now know that the NTG2 sounds much better and the battery powered option is perfect.

  • I came here for the sound report, but this chick is fantastic. Who the hell is she? Ask her if she wants a bad ass photo shoot to help her with promotions. I might even do a music video for her to help her along. Wow!

  • She is fantastic! See the "more info" for a link to her myspace and new music!

  • is this mic good with only a pearstone adapter and no beachtek juicedlink adapter? i have a canon hv40.

    thnx

  • This is the BEST NTG-2 example/test. AMAZING sound quality. All your levels are set PERFECTLY.

  • no! you need a juiced link cx231

  • Ok guys..i have an hv20...bought the ntg 2 with an xlr adapter and even if im about half a foot away from the object im getting the sound from, it's still very quiet, is it the xlr adapter, or did I get a bad mic because its not loud at all...i also have a boompole wih it.

  • Which XLR adapter? Is the attenuation (volume level) up? Are there fresh batteries in the mix or XLR adapter (if needed). You should be getting great levels from half a foot away.

  • I think HV20 doesn't support Phantom Power 48v. This microphone requires 48v so you're going to need a camera that supports Phantom Power.

  • the mic can be battery powered as well, so as long as you have batteries it should be ok to work with any camera..

  • The NTG-2 can be powered by an internal AA battery or 48v phantom power. The NTG-1 is phantom power only.

  • so what camera were you using because i have a canon hv40 and it doesn't have a xlr plug in but i know you can get adapters from xlr to the mic plugin that will fit my camera but doesnt that lose quality?

  • do you use the blimp cover over your NTG-2?

  • I prefer to use a blimp, however in this example we're just using the slip over fuzzy that is in the DVcreator Location Sound package to demonstrate how effective this kit can be. See the more info to get a better description.

  • which camera do you use?

  • Great results in my opinion! Thanks for posting. I'm going to buy this mic from seeing this video.

  • I'm sold on this mic, but out of curiosity what camera are you using? I'm looking for a pro quality camera like a dvx100 to match my audio. Thanks!

  • absolutly incredible that you can get this prestine quality in the middle of a city. Speechless.

  • i;ve seen u guys talk about taping off a "switch" for better results...can u be more specific. cuz wind is getting into my system and i;m having less than satisfactory results...so i;m wondering if that is the cause. what "switch"...where iz it?

  • The is a bass roll off "dip switch" near the base of the mic, it's a good idea to put a piece of tape over it if you are going into a windy location, also consider taping the actual XLR connection...or just invest in a RODE blimp, we've got them on special if you give a call and mention this video on youtube. 1-877-353-8077

  • is this san fransisco?

  • Mukilteo, WA right above the ferry to Whidbey Island

  • I used the Rode NTG-2 and it is an absolutely brilliant mic. I will have one in my set again soon.

  • Wow, she's absolutely amazing! That mic sounds great!

  • she's good !!

  • This video makes the mic so good, but all other videos i've seen using this mic, the audio is terrible, any input? and if it's even really worth it to invest in this mic?

  • Look at how the mic is positioned. In the other videos you have seen was the mic properly placed like this? Also keep in mind that the NTG-2 is feeding directly into a full sized Broadcast Camera. Other camera models may not have pre-amps this clean. Recording to a $300+ separate recorder would sound even better!

  • you need the mic to be positioned as close as possible to the guitar.

    an even better but impractical solution would be to put lapel mics on both the performer and one inside the sound hole of the guitar. that would get you some ultimate sound but the setup time would be attrocious.

  • while, I use Rode Blimp to cover the wind. I think it's great

  • I already have a NTG-2. I thought your windscreen you got is amazing. Can you please tell me what is the model. I read the desciption so i know it's a KTEK Fuzzy windmuff but can i have the model number. And the model # that you give me is that the one you really used. Also did you use any programs to take the wind out.

    Thanks so much, I really need this very soon!!!

  • I thought it was wireless

  • do you use wire?

  • Yes, an Audio Technica 20' Premium cable.

  • hey Guy....do u accept international Credit Cards? I wanna buy the location package but i dont know if u guys accept international CC

  • Yes, we ship international everyday. Stop by our dvestore web site or give a call 1-877-353-8077. We accept PayPal as well.

  • Do you ship your products to europe ?

  • Yes, every day we ship Internationally.

  • Hi, What HD camera was this filmed with???

  • That KTEK fuzzy does the job pretty well, doesn't it?

    I just recently bought the Rode WS-6, any idea how these two compare Guy?

    Thx for all the years of those informative vids :-)

  • Thank you. The K-TEK and the WS6 block wind equally well. One is not much better than the other in real world testing. You may want to put a piece of tape around the switch though - fast moving air can be heard through there.

  • Thx. I taped the switch of a long time ago after not so good results with a Reinhardt 'whisperer', The lightest touch of wind was heard in the mic. Their service is good, i did get an replacement for free, but it wasn't any better. So, i decided to buy the WS6 for half the price of the Reinhardt. KTEK was on the list, but is hard to get in europe, Rycote was on the list too, but is a whole lot more expensive and i heard some good things about the WS6. So far so good.

  • What is the different between Rode NTG-2 and Rode NTG-2 Shotgun?!

    Is there any different?

  • It's the same mic.

  • hahaha

  • Did you use ONLY Rode NTG-2 mic in this video. Very nice.... the vocal and the guitar sound great. Do you know anything about Azden SGM-1X ? It's about $100 cheaper, and a lot of people like it.

  • Yes, in this video you're hearing ONLY the RODE NTG-2 shotgun. We recorded a Countryman B6 lav on another track. You can see at :22 she crosses her arms across the lav - the track is muted or you'd hear the clothing rustle. I'm positive that the Azden does not sound this good. The NTG-2 outsells the Azden by far.

  • Did you record with a Countryman B6 Mini-Microphone in this video?

    Sorry - I don't understand this, I'm from germany...  =D

  • No. Only the NTG-2

  • Very good video!

    Very good song!

    Very good sound!

    =D

  • Wow... just was looking for some info on rode ntg-2 and got more than I bargained for!! What a great song. Lov your work.. hope to hear more of your songs...
