The Rode NTG3 is a professional-grade shotgun microphone engineered to deliver broadcast-quality audio in the most demanding filming environments. Combining rugged durability with high-fidelity performance, it is a staple for indie filmmakers, documentarians, and broadcast crews.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Weather-Resistant RF Bias Technology: Unlike standard microphones that may fail in humid or damp conditions, the NTG3 utilizes RF bias technology to remain almost entirely resistant to moisture. It includes a weatherproof aluminum cylinder for secure transport.
  • Superior Audio Directionality: The 10-inch body and supercardioid polar pattern provide precise on-axis pickup, effectively isolating your subject while rejecting unwanted noise from the rear.
  • Professional Specs: With a low self-noise of 13 dBA and high sensitivity, the NTG3 captures detailed, hiss-free audio. Its balanced XLR output supports long cable runs without signal degradation.
  • Versatile Power & Mounting: The mic operates on 44–52V phantom power, making it compatible with professional cinema cameras, field recorders, and mixers. It includes a standard mic clip but is also compatible with the Rode WS7 Deluxe Windshield or the Rode Blimp for advanced wind protection.
  • Minimized Interference: Engineered with upgraded immunity to radio-frequency (RF) interference and low handling noise, the NTG3 ensures clean takes that require less restoration in post-production.
