RODE NTG3 — broadcast-grade RF-bias shotgun microphone designed for film, television, and location sound. It delivers rich, warm, and natural audio with superior resistance to moisture, making it the perfect tool for professional outdoor and studio production.
With its RF-bias condenser design, the NTG3 is completely resistant to humidity and condensation — ideal for unpredictable environments. Its highly directional supercardioid pickup pattern ensures focused sound capture with excellent off-axis rejection, providing crystal-clear dialogue even from a distance. A low self-noise of only 13 dBA and a wide dynamic range make the NTG3 an industry standard for broadcast and cinema work.
Built from precision-machined brass and finished in durable nickel plating, the NTG3 is engineered for a lifetime of professional use. It includes a weather-proof aluminum storage cylinder, WSVM windshield, and mic clip — everything needed for immediate deployment on set or in the field.
