Reviews about this item

Review Summary

Rated 5 out of 5

A professional sounding mic that delivers consistent results.

I compared this mic in a shootout with a NTG-2 in a series of 11 interviews in a corporate setting. The NTG-2 sounded a bit harsh in the upper mids, and in general just felt very inconsistent with how it handed voices from person to person. The NTG-3 felt a lot more consistent, had a stronger bottom end, smoother midrange, great clarity in the high end, and stronger cancelation with high end roll off on room tone.

Incredible and professional grade mic!

Can’t say enough great things about the quality of this mic. The bundle is a great deal, too. Save money with this bundle because you will need all these components unles you already have them.

The Rode NTG-3 Uses a technology known as RF-bias. The Rode 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 Rode's premier A/V microphone.

When not in use the NTG-3 can be stored away in the included weather resistant aluminum storage cylinder, providing additional protection when travelling and storing the microphone.

Rode NTG-3 Features

  • 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 aluminum storage cylinder included
