    Customers are satisfied with the quality of the microphone. They mention that it is a quality shotgun mic, has great results on the camera, and is able to do the job well on an indie set. Overall, they are happy with the performance and reliability of the product.

    "...I can also confirm it works good with phantom power and with a battery. I noticed about a 12db gain using 48v phantom power with my unit...." Read more

    "...I highly recommend this entire outfit for its reasonable price, good performance, and as a great way to improve your videos by getting better audio." Read more

    "...Also, this is truly a classic shotgun mic...." Read more

    77 customers mention63 positive14 negative

    Customers like the sound quality of the microphone. They mention that it's crystal clear, professional sounding, and does a pretty good job of cutting out background noise. The clarity of the mic is excellent, and it does hardly any voice de-essing or de-popping. It's a great mic for voice overs, and is also good for film. The high pass filter can help with traffic and AC noises, which helps to pick up dialogue on movies clearly.

    "...It has good sound quality, and the ability to use a AA battery for phantom power is a bonus...." Read more

    "...has a supercardioid polar pattern, meaning that it proficiently isolates noises off to the side, but will pick up everything in front..." Read more

    "...It's a great mic for voice overs. It easily rivals more expensive and professional condenser microphones...." Read more

    "...The sound is amazing. The quality is superb...." Read more

    25 customers mention25 positive0 negative

    6 customers mention6 positive0 negative

    Customers find the microphone versatile and useful for shooting interview videos, DSLR videos, and live interviews and music videos. They say it improves videos by getting better audio. Some mention that the camera is great, but has a really lousy built-in microphone.

    "...for its reasonable price, good performance, and as a great way to improve your videos by getting better audio." Read more

    "...The camera is great, but has a really lousy built-in microphone. When I added the Rode shotgun mic the audio was as professional as the video...." Read more

    "Well worth the money - have captured broadcast quality recordings with this mic and picks up only the main voice I'm directing it toward, not the..." Read more

    "Great boom mic, perfect for live interviews and music videos. Make sure to pick up a boomstick with this mic to increase it usability." Read more

    5 customers mention5 positive0 negative

    Customers are satisfied with the frequency response of the microphone. They mention that it has a realistic response, and the frequency range and clarity is superb. They appreciate the ability to ess and de-pop while maintaining full range frequency response. However, some customers report issues with the signal without a preamp. Overall, most are happy with the performance of this mic and recommend it to others.

    "...better than my prior shotgun mic the Azden SGM-1X. The frequency response is so realistic, and it's not missing the mid-highs that some of the other..." Read more

    "...This mic gives me crisp broadcast quality without needing to do anything really." Read more

    "...small amount of voice de-essing and de-popping while maintaining full range frequency response...." Read more

    "...I use these with a Zoom H4N and the signal is pretty week without any sort of preamp...." Read more

    4 customers mention4 positive0 negative

    Customers like the directional pattern of the microphone. They say it's quite directional for how short it is, and the pick-up pattern is focused enough to use for interviews. Some customers also mention that it'd be a great shotgun focused mic without the need for r-recording.

    "...It's pick-up pattern is focused enough to use for interviews where you may not be able to control all surrounding noise...." Read more

    "...I also like its directionality. It is very good at muffling noises behind it...." Read more

    "Very nice directional mike. I can pick up a voice at normal room volume within 6-8 ft with minimal background noise...." Read more

    "Great mic we've used a lot in the past. It's quite directional for how short it is and it's very clear...." Read more

    Great for DSLR Video

    Great for DSLR Video
    This has been on my list since I got my Canon 60D.My first project with the setup was recording a marching band competition. Previous years I just used the built-in X-Y mics on my Zoom H4n. This year I was able to mix in a track from this mic, recorded on the DSLR's audio track (using a dual-mono-wired cable).Excellent off-axis rejection allowed me to reduce loud persons that lack the courtesy to be quiet during a performance, and also one guy who decided to come up and ask me questions as I was shooting/recording a performance (during editing, I faded the mix to the Rode at those points).Second project was a middle-school play in a cafeteria with a stage. Same setup. This time the audio from the Zoom just wasn't usable (small room with glass on two sides, hard ceiling and floor, humming from kitchen appliances nearby) but the NTG2's off-axis rejection made the audio as good as it could possibly be recorded from the back of the room in such a venue. I also chose the Rode shockmount and WS6 sock over the dead-cat based on reviews and comparison recordings on YouTube.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great microphone
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 15, 2022
    This is an excellent microphone, especially for its price! It's easily comparable to shotgun microphones at a higher price point. The noise floor level might not be as clean as a Sennheiser, but you are paying much more for those.
    You get a very nice leather pouch with it and a mount (not shockproofed) with a 3/4" screw thread.
    For low-budget creators, the NTG2 is a great option for capturing good quality, near-professional audio. Its directional pick-up pattern is spot on. For me, this is a market game-changer that will/has forced competitors to rethink the price point of their own microphones.
