RODE NTG3B — a premium broadcast-grade shotgun microphone designed for professional film, TV, and field recording. Its RF-bias technology provides superior resistance to moisture and humidity, making it ideal for outdoor production environments. The NTG3B delivers smooth, natural sound with low self-noise and exceptional off-axis rejection.
The NTG3B features a supercardioid polar pattern that captures focused, detailed audio from the front while minimizing unwanted ambient noise. Its frequency response is rich and balanced, with clear highs and full-bodied low end, ensuring accurate and warm sound reproduction for dialogue, foley, and location recordings. Thanks to the RF-bias design, the NTG3B maintains flawless performance even in challenging weather conditions, outperforming traditional condenser microphones in humidity and condensation resistance.
Precision-machined from solid brass and finished in matte black, the NTG3B combines durability with professional aesthetics. It includes a weather-resistant aluminum storage cylinder for safe transport. With its excellent sensitivity and extremely low self-noise of only 13 dBA, the NTG3B stands as one of the quietest shotgun microphones in its class.
