2. Kontrolleri Anlamak

The VideoMic NTG features several digital switches and a variable gain control for precise audio adjustment.

Şekil 7: Yan view of the Rode VideoMic NTG, illustrating the placement of its digital controls and gain knob for on-board signal processing.

• Kazanç Kontrol Düğmesi: This infinitely variable knob allows you to precisely adjust the output level of the microphone. Rotate clockwise to increase gain, counter-clockwise to decrease. This control is active for both 3.5mm and USB outputs, though for USB, fine-tuning may also be done via software.
• Yüksek Geçişli Filtre (HPF): Press the HPF button to cycle through filter settings (Off, 75Hz, 150Hz). This reduces low-frequency noise like rumble or air conditioning hum.
• -20dB Pad: Press the PAD button to engage a -20dB attenuation. Use this when recording very loud sound sources to prevent clipping.
• High Frequency Boost: Press the HF button to engage a high-frequency boost. This can enhance clarity and intelligibility, especially when using a windshield or in situations where high frequencies are attenuated.
• Safety Channel: When enabled (via the power button, short press after power on), the microphone outputs a second audio channel at -20dB. This provides a backup in case the main channel clips due to unexpected loud sounds. This feature is primarily for 3.5mm output.
• dB Peak Warning Light: This LED illuminates red when the audio signal is clipping. Adjust the gain control or engage the -20dB pad if this light frequently illuminates.

3. Ses İzleme

When using the VideoMic NTG as a USB microphone, the 3.5mm jack functions as a headphone output for direct monitoring.

• Connect headphones to the 3.5mm output jack on the microphone.
• You will hear the microphone's input signal directly, allowing you to monitor your audio in real-time.

Bakım

• Temizlik: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the microphone body. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Depolamak: Mikrofonu serin ve kuru bir yerde, doğrudan güneş ışığından ve aşırı sıcaklıklardan uzakta saklayın.
• Pil Bakım: For long-term storage, ensure the battery is charged to approximately 50%. Recharge every 3-6 months to maintain battery health.
• Ön cam: The foam windshield can be gently cleaned with mild soap and water if it becomes dirty. Allow it to air dry completely before reattaching.
