General

The NTG3 is the result of years of development by Rode technicians to provide the professional broadcasting world with a great microphone at an affordable price.

It uses RF-bias technology and is therefore waterproof. The NTG3 can operate under extreme conditions.

Furthermore, the unit is light in weight, has a special anti-reflection coating and low signal/noise ratio. It comes with a tailor-made cylinder that protects the microphone in storage.

Wrote the following about RØDE NTG3 condenser shotgun microphone

Geweldig product!
Levert haarscherp geluid, is laag in verbruik en met de lage frequency onderdrukking hoef ik mij op de set bijna geen zorgen meer te maken over koelkasten en andere brommende apparaten die in de omgeving aanstaan.
Ik heb dit product nu een jaar en hij heeft mij nog nooit in de steek gelaten. Bij dit product krijg je waar voor je geld!
