The RØDE NTG-5 is a short, shotgun condenser microphone with an ultralightweight aluminum body that makes it ideal for use on long, demanding shoots. Weighing just 76 g and measuring just over 20 cm, the NTG-5 is one of the most compact professional shotgun mics. Combined with a tightly controlled frequency response, smooth off-axis response and very low self-noise (just 10dBA), the NTG-5 sounds spectacular in a wide variety of applications. Like the legendary RØDE NTG-3, the NTG-5 sound fantastic as a voiceover mic.The NTG-5 has a flatter low end, but a very similar high frequency response to the NTG-3.
Excellent value; very good performance compared to industry standard mics
I own a RODE NTG3, a Sennheiser MKH 8060 and a Schoeps CMC641 (not a shotgun mic, but an industry standard boom mic for dialog) in addition to the RODE NTG5. The NTG5's performance holds its own against the other three mics (which retail for $700, $1250 and $1650, respectively).
The NTG5's sound has a clarity and naturalness that is better than many other mics I've used that cost two or three times as much. It doesn't sound quite as good as the MKH 8060 or the Schoeps, but it's close and it makes a great backup mic for situations when I don't want to risk damage to or loss of the more expensive mics.
Compared to the NTG3, the NTG5 is an amazing value, considering the bundle of accessories that come with the NTG5. Both mics sound terrific, with the NTG5 having a little more bass frequency roll-off and slightly less reach and directionality.
I highly recommend the NTG5.
This mic was superb, It worked so good when it came to interviewing and having a group discussion. It picked up everyone clear and with no distortion. Couldn’t be happier.
