Why Choose the RØDE NTG-4

For film and TV location dialogue, the NTG4’s supercardioid pattern focuses on the subject while rejecting ambient noise. Engage the 75 Hz high-pass filter to cut HVAC and handling rumble, the −10 dB pad for loud sources, and the HF boost to restore clarity when using furry wind protection outdoors.

Corporate shooters and content creators will appreciate the low self-noise electronics and fast, on-mic controls that reduce post-production fixes.

Whether you’re booming a scene, mounting on-camera, or recording voiceover, the NTG-4 gives you broadcast sound with modern workflow convenience.
