Rode NTG3B — Moisture-Resistant Shotgun Microphone
Broadcast-quality sound for film, TV, and documentary work — high sensitivity, low noise, and enhanced RF immunity
Overview
Capture broadcast-quality audio indoors or out for your next indie film, TV shoot, or documentary with the black, moisture-resistant Rode NTG3B. Professional features like low-noise circuitry, upgraded immunity to RF interference, and minimal handling noise reduce the time needed for repair work in post.
Thanks to its high sensitivity, the NTG3B delivers strong output without extreme preamp gain. Sonically, it remains consistently clear, with a gentle presence boost in the highs and bass attenuation to control rumble. The switch- and dial-free design lets you set up fast and focus on performance, while the solid, lightweight brass housing sports an anti-glare finish to avoid reflections in-frame. Powered via 48V phantom; a foam windscreen is included to tame wind noise.
