Rode NTG3

Super-cardioid shotgun microphone is designed for professional use on film, television, electronic news gathering and wherever high-resolution broadcast audio is required. As RØDE's premier directional microphone it exhibits superlative audio quality with a rich, warm quality and a full frequency response and 50% less self-noise than the majority of shotgun microphones. Its RF bias technology makes it almost completely resistant to moisture, making it the only option when recording in demanding environments where condensation is an issue. Machined from solid brass it is incredibly robust while remaining light weight. Its precise yet forgiving polar pattern ensures that whether used on-camera or on a boom pole, the microphone will capture audio clearly every time. It also delivers high level of immunity to radio frequency interference. A durable aluminium storage cylinder is supplied to provide the ultimate protection for the microphone while in storage and transport. Tightly sealed at both ends the cylinder is highly weatherproof, adding to the microphone's rugged performance credentials. A pop filter, a mic clip and large zip pouch are also included. Frequency range: 40 Hz-20 kHz. Output impedance: 25 Ohm. Maximum SPL: 130 dB SPL (@ 1 kHz, 1% THD into 1kOhm load). Maximum output level: 8.2 mV. Sensitivity: -30.0dB re 1 V/Pa (31.6 mV @ 94 dB SPL) +/- 2 dB @ 1kHz. Equivalent noise level (A-weighted): 13 dB-A. Dimensions: 255 x 19 mm. Weight: 163 g. Anti-glare, nickel-plated finish.
