Technologie de polarisation RF et vernis de tropicalisation, pour garantir une parfaite performance dans des conditions difficiles Fortunately, the outdoor conditions here in Scotland aren’t too bad just yet. No severe rain or snowstorms at the moment, it’s just rather chilly. So, I went outside to do an off-axis test. You can hear in the video how well it does at cancelling out my voice when off-axis to the microphone, even at very close range. This is due to its polar pattern which, despite being shorter than many other shotgun microphones, is still quite narrow. Lots of good things about theRØDE NTG5, there is also something you need to know before making your final decision. Aluminium built, sensitivity to handling noise The first NTG5.x unit come to the W222 S-Class and was known internally as the NTG5.2. Next, i quote here; “A more traditional system with full keyboard was then released and this is called NTG5*1. It was installed in the MY2015 E class and CLS class, and followed in the A, B, CLA, GLA and with the GLE/GLS when they were facelifted (and renamed from ML/GL). It has a SD-CARD slot in the front and seperate USB ports in the armrest glovebox”.

One of the big selling features of the Rode NTG5 is its ultra-low weight. At only 76g, it’s ideal for boom operators to use on location all day long. The Rode Boompole I use is 3 metres long (about 10ft), and in the video, I had it on a stand, but I did handhold for a little while at full extension just to see how it felt. Holding it was a breeze compared to my other shotgun microphones. I felt very little strain on my arms, and I wouldn’t think twice about using this handheld over the talent on a real shoot.The result is a shotgun mic with unmatched acoustic transparency, and a natural, uncoloured sound that will sound superb in a wide variety of applications. A Boom Operator’s Dream Pictures of Apple CarPlay in Action on my Mercedes E-Class W212 Facelift Model Can i get Apple CarPlay / Android Auto in my W212 E-Class? In one scene, the microphone was very close to an induction cooking plate. As the induction plate started with full power, some interference happened with the microphone. If you want to have the CD player retrofitted to your NTG5.5 system or want a NTG5 system retrofitted please talk to Comand (Europe) Ltd. Just to give you an impression, we take the Sennheiser MKH-8060 as a comparison, which costs more than twice the price.

NTG5*2 has no keyboard, andexcepting the Audio-20 on E/CLS itdoes have a CD player(COMAND has a CD/DVD which is actually a BLU-RAY mech but i've never tried playing a BLU-RAY in it). It is controlled completely from a rotary controller and an optional touchpad (cars with COMAND always have the touchpad). COMAND NTG5*2 is made by Harman. Audio-20 NTG5*2 is made by Mitubishi (Melco) or by Panasonic. The Panasonic unit supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and is known as NTG5ES2 internally,NTG5*2 has a seperate SD-Card/Twin USB connector in the centre armrest and DAB functions are provided by an external tuner.There are two versions of the Audio-20, one that has inbuilt Navigation and a very basic one without Navigation and without a fibre optic port. The navigation units used a SD card with Garmin maps and navigation software on it. There are 3 different types of card (NTG5*1 / Panasonic NTG5*2, NTG5*2 Mitsubishi, NTG5.5), and for each type of card there are two variants, and update card to uprgade a vehicle that already has a SD card installed, and a full release for cars without the SD card or which the SD card has been lost. Then there are a number of maps for different areas, Europe, India, South East Asia, etc etc. I have a NTG4.0 NTG4.5 NTG4.7 Headunit, how do i make CarPlay & Android Auto work / enable / activate it?

After activation of of smartphone integration mode, the following functions of command controller unit are no longer available: Navigation, MEDIA, Internet Services, Voice control, Mercedes Me Connect. (Basically whilst in CarPlay or Android Auto is in use, they will not be available). Extremely lightweight (just 76g), short shotgun microphone (just 203mm), making it far easier to handle on set than other shotgun mics, especially when used on a boom pole.

Final Thoughts

The hardware inside these units does not support CarPlay & Android Auto. You will require a aftermarket integration. Option1 – Aftermarket intergration Lastly, a shotgun mic can be simply mounted on a tripod like the Tripod 2 or a desk stand such as the DS1 and placed in front of the person who will be speaking. This is a great option forpodcasting/streaming setups where you need to be moreportable – something that is a little harder with the two methods mentioned above.
