The NTG-2 provides a balanced low impedance output stage and operates either from an internal 1.5 V battery (AA) or 48 V to the P48 standard. A wide bandwidth and controlled polar response coupled with low noise SMT electronics, makes the NTG-2 the perfect choice for film, video engineering and voice-over work.The NTG-2 is extremely lightweight making it ideal for mounting directly to video cameras or on boom poles.

Additionally you have the option of using an internal 1.5V AA battery.; To insert a battery, turn the base of the microphone anti-clockwise to unscrew.;Slide the cover down to reveal the battery compartment (the cover will not come off the end of the mic so do not force it). Insert the battery “…bottom fi rst’, checking the polarity using the sticker diagram as a guide.
