Can I leave the AA battery in or do I need to remove it when I'm done recording?
You can leave a AA battery inside of the RODE NTG2 Shotgun Microphone as long as you will be using the mic again within a few days. Otherwise, it is always best to remove the battery from an electronic device that will not be used for a while in order to prevent damage from problems caused by the battery leaking.

Will this work well for picking up actors' lines for a live theatre event?
