The RØDE NTG3 shotgun microphone with supercardioid pattern is designed for professional film, television, and electronic news gathering (ENG) applications where flawless audio quality is essential. As the flagship of RØDE's shotgun series, the NTG3 delivers consistently high-end audio quality with a warm and full sound. Thanks to a special technology, it is virtually immune to moisture, making it a top choice in environments where condensation may occur. The NTG3 is made from solid brass and is available in a reflection-neutral nickel and matte black finish. Despite its lightweight design, it is remarkably robust. Its focused yet flexible directional characteristic provides clear sound capture whether mounted on a camera or used with a boom pole. The NTG3 comes in a sturdy aluminum cylinder that protects it from transport damage. The cylinder is insulated at both ends, making it waterproof—nothing and no one can harm this microphone.
