The NTG-3 directional microphone. Super kidney directional characteristic
The NTG-3 is the result of years of development by RØDE engineers: an uncompromising yet affordable microphone for professional broadcast and movie sound.
Thanks to the RF technology used, the RØDE NTG-3 is almost completely insensitive to moisture: indispensable when working in conditions where condensation is an issue.
In addition to its rugged features, the NTG-3 features low weight (163 g), minimal impact sound transmission, and incredibly low inherent noise (13 dBA).
The NTG-3 is supplied with a weatherproof aluminum cylinder, in which the microphone can be safely stored and transported.
- Designed for adverse weather conditions
- 50% less self-noise than most other shotgun tubes
- Real condenser capsule (externally polarized)
- Extremely low structure-borne sound transmission
- Insensitive to radio waves
- Superior broadcast sound
- Weatherproof aluminum transport cylinder included
