The NTG4 + locates within the RØDE program exactly between the classic NTG-2 and the top model NTG-3. Self-noise and sensitivity were again significantly improved compared to the NTG-2. An absolute novelty is the integrated lithium battery, which allows operation without phantom power, and even a battery change is no longer necessary. The battery life is more than 150 hours, with the included MicroUSB cable, the NTG4 + can fully recharge within two hours. Of course you can operate the NTG4 + with phantom power, while the battery is not charged or charged. New are the electronic switch buttons on the microphone housing, with which pre-attenuation, high-pass filter and - also a novelty for shotgun tubes - can activate a presence increase. The latter is ideal to compensate for the inevitable fall in height when using a fur windshield already in the microphone. The switch buttons each have a status LED, in addition the NTG4 + "remembers" the last used settings after work has been completed. At the next use they are immediately available again.
