RØDE NTG4+ Shotgun Microphone Initial Test

A couple of months ago you all voted on what you wanted to cover next and one of the things you voted for was a review of the RØDE NTG4+ shotgun microphone. This is RØDE’s next generation enthusiast shotgun mic and it has a few interesting features:

- The + version has an inbuilt lithium battery that can power the mic for 150 hours
- A re-designed microphone capsule (which I think sounds a bit more natural than the NTG2
- Electronic buttons for high pass, high frequency boost, and -10 dB pad as well as mic power

I just received the mic yesterday so this is only an initial test and a full review will follow in the next few weeks.
