RODE Microphones NTG1 - Manual (Page 7)

• The NTG-1 incorporates a switchable high pass
fi lter set at 80 Hz. This can be used when you wish
to remove low frequency noise that is not part of
your intended sound source. Remember however
the tonal characteristics will be affected by this, so
it is important that you listen to the sound with and
without the HPF in circuit before deciding if it is
appropriate for the source.
• The HPF activated by the recessed
switch shown to the right. A small
screwdriver or pen will be required
as the switch is designed to prevent
accidental toggling.
• While it may sound like a contradiction, Shotgun
microphones have a narrow pick-up angle or polar
response, and so can be used to great effect with
cameras for news gathering, weddings, sporting
events or any situation where you want to focus on
a particular area of sound source without having
your audio overpowered by ambient noise.
• The NTG-1 is supplied with a foam windshield.
This windshield should be used even in the
slightest breeze, as this can cause sound
interference.
• When using the mic outside in heavy winds you
may need to purchase a more specialised wind
shield, such as the Dead Cat, which will
provide additional protection from adverse wind
conditions.
