The NTG-3 is the result of years of development by RØDE engineers, 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. Be it in a tropical rainforest, arid desert or sub-zero snowstorm the NTG-3 can be relied on to faithfully record audio where traditional condenser microphones would fail. 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. “The new NTG-3 is one of RØDE’s most exciting microphones.” commented Peter Freedman, President of RØDE Microphones. “I am confident that the robustness afforded by RF bias technology, combined with incredibly low self-noise and handling noise make the NTG-3 a clear market leader in the broadcast-grade shotgun microphone category.” Australian sound recording guru, Ric Creaser (60 Minutes, Survivor, Australian Idol), was given the opportunity to field test the NTG-3 as a part of RØDE’s thorough product development. “The NTG-3 has amazingly low handling noise, which will make it a boom operator’s dream mic” observed Ric. “The audio quality is exceptional; providing the full bodied, robust, punchy audio I have come to expect from only the most expensive high-end broadcast shotgun microphones.” “Also the off axis capability is a little wider than a 416, therefore more forgiving when trying to capture two spaced sources; a real bonus. I plan to use the RØDE NTG-3 as my main microphone from now on - it is outstanding.” Key features: • Designed to withstand adverse environmental conditions • 50% less self-noise than the majority of shotgun mics • True condenser (externally RF biased) • Extremely low handling noise • High level of immunity to radio frequency interference • High sensitivity • Superior broadcast sound quality • Weather resistant aluminium storage cylinder included • Designed and manufactured in Australia • 10 year warranty (online registration required) Precision broadcast-grade shotgun microphone Power P48 (48V) phantom supply Acoustic Principle Line Gradient Directional Pattern Super Cardioid Frequency range 40 Hz - 20 kHz Output impedance 25Ω Signal noise ratio 81 dB SPL (A - weighted per IEC651) Equivalent noise 13 dB SPL (A - weighted per IEC651) Maximum SPL 130dB SPL (@ 1kHz, 1% THD into 1KΩ load) Maximum output voltage 8.2dBu (@ 1kHz, 1% THD into 1KΩ load) Sensitivity -30 dB re 1 Volt/Pascal (31.6 mV @ 94 dB SPL) +/- 2 dB @ 1kHz Weight 163gm Dimensions 255mmH x 19mmW x 19mmD Testimonials "The NTG-3 has amazingly low handling noise which will make it a boom operators dream mic...
