The Power/Function utton
The first button on the VideoMic NTG manually turns the mic on/off and doubles as a
function button to engage the -20dB pad and safety channel.
To manually turn the mic on or off, press and hold this button for three seconds.
The VideoMic NTG also has a handy auto-power feature. By default, it will
automatically power on when connected to a device, or when the connected device
turns on, and power off when disconnected from a device, or when the device turns
off.
The Pad and Safety Channel
The VideoMic NTG has a host of useful features for making sure your audio is clear and
distortion-free when recording loud sound sources, including a -20dB pad as well as a
safety channel, which records a second track at -20dB that you can replace your main
track with in post-production if it distorts.
ress the button once to engage the -20dB pad (left LED will illuminate)
ress once more to engage the safety channel (left LED will turn off, middle LED will
illuminate)
ress a third time to engage both the pad and safety channel (both LEDs will
illuminate)
ress a fourth time to disengage both the pad and safety channel (both LEDs will turn
off)
Note: The safety channel does not work with devices that have a TRRS input, such as
smartphones, as these inputs only support one channel of audio.
The EQ Controls
The second button on the VideoMic NTG controls three EQ functions, which makes it
very versatile when recording in a variety of tricky conditions.
High-pass Filters
There are two high-pass filters available. These will cut lower frequencies to help
mitigate wind noise and other low-frequency rumble (traffic noise, air conditioning
etc).
ress this button once to engage the 75Hz high-pass filter (left LED will
illuminate)
ress again to engage the 150Hz high-pass filter (middle LED will illuminate)
ress a third time to disengage both filters (LEDs will turn off)
High-frequency Boost
There is also a high-frequency boost for enhancing clarity and detail in your recording
(particularly handy if you are using a windshield, which can make recordings sound
muffled).
ress and hold the button for three seconds to engage the high-frequency boost (right
LED will illuminate)
ress and hold again to disengage the high-frequency boost
The Peak Warning Light
The peak warning light will flash red to indicate that your sound source is too loud and
is causing your signal to clip. In this case, apply the -20dB pad to reduce the input gain
and consider switching on the safety channel.
The Power LED
This LED indicates the power status of the VideoMic NTG.
Green = Full charge
Amber = Medium charge
Red = Low charge
Flashing red = Very low charge
Blue = Connection established to a computer or similar device
The US Output
The USB output on the VideoMic NTG has three main functions:
Charging
The internal battery can be charged by plugging it into any USB power source such as a
computer, USB wall socket, or portable power pack.
Firmware Updates
The VideoMic NTG can be enhanced with firmware updates via RØDE Central.
Recording
As well as being a hugely versatile on-camera microphone, the VideoMic NTG is also a
fully featured USB microphone for recording directly into a computer, smartphone or
tablet.
lug it into your computer or tablet (it’s a class-compliant device, so no drivers or
software are needed)
Select it as your input and output device on your device’s system preferences and/or
DAW
lug your headphones into the 3.5mm output to monitor your audio and adjust the
mic’s gain knob to set your monitoring level
The 3.5mm Output and Auto-sensing Feature
The VideoMic NTG features a 3.5mm TRRS output and it comes with an SC10 TRRS to
TRRS patch cable for connecting to cameras, smartphones, and other recording
devices. The output automatically dtects whether your microphone is plugged into a
TRS input (found on most cameras) or a TRRS input (which most smartphones and
tablets have) and switches to accommodate.
As mentioned above, the 3.5mm output also acts as a headphone output for
monitoring your audio when using the VideoMic NTG as a USB mic.
The attery and Auto-power
The Battery
The VideoMic NTG features an in-built lithium-ion battery that provides 30+ hours of
recording time and charges via USB-C (from empty to full in two hours). Although the
internal battery is not user replaceable, the mic has a 10-year warranty once it has
been registered.
The Auto-power Function
The auto-power function automatically turns the microphone off when it detects that
your recording device is switched off – helping conserve battery life – and turns it on
when the device is turned on. The auto-power function only works if your device
delivers plug-in power (most do) or if you are using the microphone in USB audio
mode.
Note: If you manually switch the mic on using the power button, then plug it in into a
device or turn the device on, you will also need to manually switch it off.
