When it works it's great...but it doesn't always work
Rich07 16.02.2022
Great when it works. However, I suddenly suffered from a lot of noise when I used for the second time. I switched it out for another NTG5 with the same setup, and the noise was gone. I subsequently looked this up online, and apparently it's not uncommon for the NTG5 to fail in this manner - a lot of people have reported similar problems, even when using top of the range XLR cables and external recorders. Not everyone has this problem, but I do not want that level of risk, particularly with a mic at this price point.

Enormous dissapointment and completely unreliable
Thomas Lambrechts 08.03.2024
Bought an NTG5 in a camerashop, brand new. It worked for about 10 minutes and a couple of hours later, there was only noise. I switched to other XLR cables, interfaces, all with the same result.

Then I received the one I ordered with Thomann. Worked for about 5 minutes while testing it for the first time. Wasn't amazed with the sound quality but fine. After that I got this super weird skreechy sound over it and I've read that this happened quite often with other people. When I read about it, I thought "this is probably a rare occurence" what are the odds this would happen to mine after one already failed. Jokes on me, because it happened literally, 10 minutes after unboxing.

I've owned and used a couple of Røde mics before and was pretty happy with them, but I'm sorry to say I've lost faith in them. All the fun extra accessoires are useless if your mic doesn't work.

Returning it.

Very Happy with my NTG5
Donal Fermoy 02.04.2020
On st. Patricks Day, Fermoy usually has about 1,400 participants in their parade with about 4,000 watching. This year (2020), because of COVID-19, we had no parade. Instead, we raised the national flag in the Square, while a trumpeter played the National Anthem and the Fields of Athenry. I used the NTG5 and a Zoom H6 to record the sound and an iPhone7 to record the video. You can see the result here. was brilliant at filtering out the passing traffic. Totally delighted with it.

Great mic kit for a reasonable price
Álex Montoya 22.03.2022
Great sensitivity and low self noise. It a short shotgun, sturdy but surprisingly light.

With a pretty flat response lightly tailored for the human voice.
