Using a technology known as RF-bias true condenser RØDE NTG-3B is almost completely resistant to moisture, making it the only option when recording in any demanding environments where condensation is an issue. It delivers superior broadcast sound quality withextremely low handling noise in a supercardiod polar patterndesigned to withstand adverse environmental conditions. NTG-3B has a high level of immunity to radio frequency interference and provides 50% less self-noise than the majority of shotgun microphones with high Sensitivity.
Product Features in Detail
Super-cardioid shotgun microphone
The RØDE NTG-3B super-cardioid shotgun microphone is designed for professional use on film, television, electronic news gathering and wherever high-resolution broadcast audio is required.
RF bias technology
As RØDE's premier directional microphone the NTG-3B exhibits superlative audio quality with a rich, warm quality and a full frequency response. 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.
Solid brass
