The NTG-3 competes head to head with the Sennheiser MKH-416 shotgun. While the 416 has been an industry standard for years, the price has kept many aspiring filmmakers at bay. With it’s aggressive pickup pattern and buttery smooth sound the NTG-3 is poised to become the go to microphone for high definition shooters. You’ve got the hi-def picture, well here’s the hi-def sound. We tested the microphone both indoor and outdoor and were shocked at the results. Never before have we heard this caliber of sound for under $1000.

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.

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.

• Designed to withstand adverse environmental conditions
• 50% less self-noise than the majority of shotgun microphones
• True condenser (externally RF biased)
• Extremely low handling noise
• High level of immunity to radio frequency broadcast
• Superior broadcast sound quality
• Weather resistant aluminium storage cylinder included
