Rode NTG-3

Features

The NTG-3 is providing the professional broadcast and film industries with an affordable yet uncompromising microphone. Using a technology known as RF-bias the RØDE NTG-3 is almost completely resistant to moisture, making it the only option when recording in any demanding environments where condensation is an issue. In addition to its robust properties the NTG-3 combines very low weight (163g), a durable anti-glare finish and incredibly low handling and self-noise (13dBA) to become RØDE’s premier A/V microphone. When not in use the NTG-3 can be stored away in the included weather resistant aluminium storage cylinder, providing additional protection when travelling and storing the microphone.

• Designed to withstand adverse environmental conditions
• 50% less self-noise than the majority of shotgun microphones
• True condenser (externally RF biased)
• Extremely low handling noise
• High level of immunity to radio frequency broadcast
• Superior broadcast sound quality
• Weather resistant aluminium storage cylinder included
