help Rode NTG4+ FAQ
Can the Rode NTG4+ run without phantom power?
Yes. Its internal rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides more than 150 hours of operation, while P48 phantom power is also supported.
What do the three buttons on the NTG4+ control?
They activate a 75 Hz high-pass filter, a high-frequency boost and a -10 dB pad. These controls help manage rumble, compensate for windshield losses and record louder sources.
Can the NTG4+ connect directly to a camera's 3.5 mm input?
The microphone itself has a balanced XLR output, not a 3.5 mm camera plug. A compatible XLR adapter, preamp or recorder is therefore needed for cameras without professional audio inputs.
Is the NTG4+ suitable outdoors without extra protection?
Its directional pattern is useful for outdoor dialogue, but the included foam windshield is mainly for light air movement. Strong wind normally requires a blimp and furry windshield, such as Rode's Blimp system.
