Rode NTG3, Rode SM4 and Rode Deadcat Bundle
Precision broadcast-grade shotgun microphone The Rode 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.
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.
With outstanding design values, precision performance and broadcast-grade specification – but at a fraction of the price of current industry-standard offerings – the Rode NTG-3 looks certain to make major waves in the broadcast audio arena.
More on the NTG-3
The Rode NTG-3 is specifically designed to withstand adverse environmental conditions, incorporating a technology known as RF-bias, which renders the microphone almost completely resistant to moisture. This makes the Rode NTG-3 equally at home recording audio in a tropical rainforest, arid desert or sub-zero snowstorm, where traditional condenser microphones would fail.
On the audio performance side, the Rode NTG-3’s true-condenser super-cardioid capsule accepts standard 48V phantom power and delivers high-sensitivity recording and superior broadcast sound quality across a wide 40Hz to 20kHz frequency range. The Rode NTG-3 also exhibits extremely low handling noise, 50% less self-noise than the majority of shotgun mics (just 13dBA) and a high level of immunity to radio frequency interference. These user-friendly design features coupled with the Rode NTG-3’s minimal weight of just 163g make it a sound recordist’s dream to use. Standard NTG-3 accessories include a Rode stand mount, foam windshield, soft pouch and tough aluminium storage case, and like all Røde microphones, the Rode NTG-3 comes with a full 10-year warranty.
