Rode NTG-2 [6/8] Supplying power

- 6 -

• The NTG-2 requires power to operate. This needs

to be supplied via P48V phantom power supply

which is available from most professional video

cameras or mixing consoles. Additionally you have

the option of using an internal 1.5V AA battery.

• To insert a battery, turn the base of the microphone

anti-clockwise to unscrew.

• Slide the cover down to reveal the battery

compartment (the cover will not come off the end

of the mic so do not force it). Insert the battery

‘bottom ﬁ rst’, checking the polarity using the

sticker diagram as a guide.

• Close the battery cover and retighten the end

barrel by screwing clockwise until it is reasonably

tight.

• It is recommended that you remove the battery

from the NTG-2 when the microphone is not in use

as current is drawn whenever a battery is installed.
