    For my purposes it picked up WAY more of the ambient audio than I would have liked. And honestly I don't know why you'd want a Super cardioid pick up pattern for a directional mic. The pad was...meh. Overall not impressed at this price point.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Sehr zufrieden für den Heimanwender
    Reviewed in Germany on February 4, 2021
    Color: BlackStyle: NTG4Configuration: MicrophoneVerified Purchase
    Anwendungsszenario:
    Heimanwender für Streaming, Skype, Let's Read, etc. Angeschlossen an einem Behringer Xeny QX.

    Konfiguration:
    Low Filter Eingeschaltet, kein Windschutz

    Ergebnis:
    Das Rode NTG4 ist ein klasse Mikro in der Preisklasse mit nützlichen Features. Der Klang ist sehr sehr sauber und die Stimme klar und deutlich. Natürlich hängt die Beurteilung von den Erwartungen ab. Es klingt selbst für mich als Privatanwender etwas "flach". Das war mir aber nicht so wichtig, da ich ein Schwerpunkt auf eine präzise Stimmaufnahme lege. Der Low Filter ist bei mir eingeschaltet, der Effekt ist gering aber merklich, so ist das PC Brummen/Rauschen etwas weniger stark hörbar.

    Ich habe mit dem Windschutz gespielt (benötige ich nur im Sommer wenn ein Ventilator im Zimmer läuft) und die Aktivierung des High Boosts in dem Szenario erachte ich als sinnvoll, sonst ist der aus da es die Stimme etwas "künstlicher" erscheinen lässt.

    Die Richtwirkung ist gut (Aufnahme ca. 80cm-1m von mir entfernt). Wenn ich den Kopf drehe und in eine etwas anderer Richtung spreche fällt es dem Zuhöhrer auf. Geräusche von der Seite werden doch noch überraschend stark wahrgenommen, in meinem Anwendungsszenario ist das aber nicht relevant.

    Verarbeitungsqualität finde ich gut, habe aber nur wenig Vergleichserfahrung. 200€ waren für mich absolute Schmerzgrenze - überzeugt hat ich letztlich die 10Jahre Rode Garantie. Insgesamt bin ich mit dem Mikro zufrieden, kann mir aber vorstellen das es im Profi Umfeld eher weniger geeignet ist.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Microfono dalla grande qualità audio ad un prezzo davvero ottimo!
    Reviewed in Italy on January 19, 2019
    Color: BlackStyle: NTG4Configuration: MicrophoneVerified Purchase
    •DESCRIZIONE:
    La confezione RØDE comprende il microfono in sé (custodito nella custodia di pelle finta), il windscreen di spugna, il supporto per il montaggio su asta, sticker RØDE e soprattutto una guarnizione di silicone per rendere il collegamento migliore per alcuni cavi che potrebbero non avere un connettore ben saldo.

    •QUALITÀ COSTRUTTIVA:
    La qualità costruttiva è davvero solida, completamente in alluminio, se non per i 3 pulsanti digitali sul corpo del microfono. Il connettore XLR è ben fatto, i 3 Pin sono placcati in oro (ottimo aspetto) e il tubo anti-interferenza è progettato e costruito benissimo.

    •QUALITÀ AUDIO:
    Ho provato e testato con cura il RØDE NTG4 per un paio di mesi, e sarò felice di utilizzarlo in progetti futuri. Il suo tubo anti-interferenza isola molto bene l'audio dai lati, rendendolo un microfono shotgun super-cardioide davvero di qualità, di poco inferiore al top di gamma NTG3, che costa almeno 3 volte tanto.

    I 3 pulsanti digitali si sono resi molto utili in diverse situazioni: ho molto apprezzato il Low-Cut Filter (se non sbaglio a 75Hz o 80Hz), davvero utile ad eliminare rumori provenienti dal boom che lo sostiene oppure i movimenti imprevedibili del cavo che si muove. Nonostante il Low-Cut Filter attivato, si preserva un sacco di fedeltà nei bassi, soprattutto della voce, rendendolo un microfono molto equilibrato.
    Presenta anche l'High-Frequency Boost, utile quando lo si utilizza con la spugna anti-vento e/o con il RØDE Blimp in esterni, perché questi riducono e attutiscono leggermente le frequenze più alte. Davvero comodo e semplice da attivare.

    Ho fatto alcuni test audio registrando con un Tascam DR-70D, Phantom Power 48V, importati su Adobe Audition, normalizzato le tracce audio e misurato il "self-noise" del microfono: valori tra i -62dB e -69dB, che con una leggera pulizia del suono si arriva benissimo anche a -72dB! Questo significa che il rumore generato dai circuiti interni del microfono è davvero minimo, addirittura impercettibile! Sono gli stessi risultati raggiunti da microfoni che costano anche 1000€ (come il Sennheiser MKH 416) o il RØDE NTG3. Qualità davvero impressionante per 200€.

    •CONCLUSIONI:
    Il prezzo è più che giusto per un microfono di questa qualità, dalla costruzione impeccabile, design migliorato e soprattutto con le funzioni che sull'NTG2 non sono presenti. Io ho scelto il modello da alimentare solo con Phantom Power, ma esiste il RØDE NTG4+ (Plus) che ha al suo interno una batteria al Litio che alimenta il microfono, ricaricabile tramite MicroUSB. Entrambi sono acquisti validi per la fascia di prezzo e la qualità offerta, soprattutto per come sono silenziosi questi microfoni, ossia non generano rumore e catturano l'audio fedelmente e con una qualità pazzesca.
    Sono davvero contento dell'acquisto, lo consiglio vivamente, soprattutto abbinato al RØDE Blimp, ossia il metodo migliore per catturare l'audio in esterna senza vento. Acquisto consigliatissimo!

Io ho scelto il modello da alimentare solo con Phantom Power, ma esiste il RØDE NTG4+ (Plus) che ha al suo interno una batteria al Litio che alimenta il microfono, ricaricabile tramite MicroUSB. Entrambi sono acquisti validi per la fascia di prezzo e la qualità offerta, soprattutto per come sono silenziosi questi microfoni, ossia non generano rumore e catturano l'audio fedelmente e con una qualità pazzesca.
    Sono davvero contento dell'acquisto, lo consiglio vivamente, soprattutto abbinato al RØDE Blimp, ossia il metodo migliore per catturare l'audio in esterna senza vento. Acquisto consigliatissimo!
