  • Professional audio clarity across 40Hz-20kHz frequency range
  • Supercardioid pattern isolates sound source and rejects background noise
  • RF-biased condenser resists humidity for reliable outdoor recording
  • 22-inch length captures detail at distance on wide shots
  • Self-noise of 8dBA SPL delivers clean recordings in quiet scenes

Professional long shotgun microphone

The Rode NTG-8 is a 22 inch professional long shotgun microphone built for broadcast and film production. Its true condenser element uses external RF bias for high resistance to humidity and adverse weather conditions. The 559mm length provides high intelligibility and detail at distance. It requires external phantom power to operate.

Suited for outdoor film and broadcast

This microphone suits video production, feature films, documentaries and live broadcasts where the mic must stay out of frame. The supercardioid polar pattern minimises background noise while isolating the desired source. Buyers needing a compact microphone for on-camera mounting or tight interior spaces should look at something else. The 8dBA self-noise ensures clean capture in critical recording situations.

22 inch interference tube length

The 22 inch (559mm) interference tube is the specification that determines whether this is the right part. It delivers the narrow off-axis rejection and reach required for wide camera shots and distant sources. Shorter shotguns will not provide the same directional control at distance. The 40Hz to 20kHz frequency response captures the full audible range with clarity.

Questions about this item

Will the 22 inch length create balance issues with my existing boom pole?

At 559 mm long and built with a robust construction, it fits standard boom poles designed for long shotgun microphones and the included shock mount helps isolate handling noise.

How can I verify the supercardioid pattern is rejecting off-axis sound after setup?

Monitor the output while speaking from the sides; the 8 dBA self-noise floor means any audible room tone drop confirms the narrow pickup is working.

Does the package include the XLR cable and phantom-power supply needed for the external RF-biased condenser?

The box provides the microphone, a windscreen and a shock mount; an XLR cable and phantom-power source are separate purchases.
