## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this mic rechargeable? Or does it need constant power?**
A: It needs phantom power, there is NO battery option. I’ve used it many times with a zoom H6 and Zoom F8N which are quite portable and supply phantom power.

**Q: How far away from the mic will this record quality audio?**
A: how loud is the sound ....?

There are several factors that must be considered ... such as ambient sound ... this is a condenser microphone, which means that it will pick up any ambient sound ... the closer you are to the specific sound you want to record, the better. I am not an expert, but of all the microphones that I have this is the best.

**Q: Can you use this on a smart phone? Or do you need a special cord?**
A: No, it needs power, so no use for direct connection to a phone.

**Q: Can this mounted to a dslr camera (panasonic lumix gh4)?**
A: You will also need to power the mic.

    Heavy RF interference, so mic is unusable. Was sent an open box item.
  

*by L***S on Reviewed in India on 5 February 2023*

Was sent an open box item. Had to return it as the microphone suffers from RF interference. Clearly I have gotten a mic that was previously returned.

    The perfect voiceover mic?
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on 4 November 2023*

Bought this mic "Used/Good" fulfilled by Amazon in the wild hopes that I could FINALLY find a good voiceover mic... And I'm in love.First, the good: this mic has hardly any self noise, and in the booth I can get voice to a perfect -23LUFS with a noise floor below -54db with the mic 6-8" off my mouth. If you angle it 45° off axis and position it just slightly above, I haven't had huge issues with breath noises, plosives, or anything else, which means I don't need the (excellent) windscreen. I have not yet tried the I closed dead cat but suspect it will work as advertised.The NTG 5 has got plenty of low end for voiceover work, a nice clear and detailed top end without a whole lot of sibilance (I have a fairly sibilant voice AND gap teeth, and am aurally sensitive to sibilance, which isn't fun, but this mic manages it well). It needs just a touch of EQ to sound its best, at least on my voice, but I also tend toward muddiness, so I can't blame the mic there.Bright enough without sounding brittle, harsh or sibilant. Rich enough without adding too much muddiness (unless you get under 4" and hit the proximity effect). Easy to listen to for long periods. Barely even needs EQ. In short, I'm in love!The cons (and this is nitpicky AF) - I wish the pistol grip mount A, came pre-assembled (I immediately lost the miniscule screwdriver included with the mic), and B, that it came in 5/8 diameter instead of 3/8 (and included the usual adapter). I get that it's a "location mic" and that 3/8 is the default for boom poles, but it's more common to adapt up to 5/8 than down to 3/8, if that makes sense. I'd also be happy if they included a 5/8F-3/8M adapter, but ordering one  shouldn't be difficult, just a temporary mild annoyance.I haven't tested it outdoors or in an untreated room, but I suspect it'll do well for live recording and outdoor applications.I'll know in another month or two of rode testing if it's the PERFECT voiceover mic, but I shure can't fault the way it sounds in the booth!

    RØDE microphones score 10 / 10 again!
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in Canada on 23 March 2023*

Excellent, if short, shotgun microphone by those great Australians. Nicely made with an excellent starter kit containing sensibly chosen and well-sourced parts for microphone holding and use. The kit idea seems very juvenile perhaps, but in fact this package of items is well chosen and the parts seem very well made - not a junior kit. Will be paying attention to RØDE again!
