Rode NTG3 Shotgun Microphone
The Rode NTG3 Shotgun Microphone is a broadcast-grade shotgun microphone designed for use in demanding environments. At the heart of the Rode NTG3’s exceptional performance is superior sound quality. Engineered with precision and built for the most demanding applications, this shotgun microphone rental delivers broadcast-quality audio. Whether you’re filming documentaries, interviews, or recording dialogue for your latest film, the NTG3 ensures that every sound is captured with remarkable clarity, ensuring your audience hears every nuance and emotion.
One of the standout features of the Rode NTG3 is its incredible off-axis sound rejection. Like all shotgun microphones, the directional pattern allows you to focus on your subject and minimize unwanted ambient noise. This feature ensures that your audio remains clean and clear, enhancing the overall quality of your production.
The NTG3 offers incredibly low self-noise, allowing you to capture even the faintest of sounds with minimal interference. This is especially crucial when recording in quiet or sensitive environments, ensuring that your audio recordings are as pristine as possible.
The Rode NTG3 requires 48v phantom power (5mA), available with most professional camera and audio recording equipment. If using a camera without phantom power, we suggest one of the Rode VideoMic Pro Plus instead.
