In today’s episode, we have a look at and a listen to the RODE NTG5 shotgun microphone. The NTG5 is an RF-bias short shotgun microphone that is incredibly light weight. It comes in a kit with a quality Rycote shock mount, a foam cover, a fur wind cover, a microphone stand clip, and a pleather pouch. Let’s put it through some tests and see how it sounds!
