{"product_id":"rode-ntg-3b-broadcast-shotgun-microphone","title":"RØDE NTG-3B Broadcast Shotgun Microphone","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe RØDE NTG-3B is a broadcast shotgun microphone built for focused dialogue and location sound capture. Its supercardioid pickup pattern helps emphasize the intended subject while reducing unwanted sound from the sides and rear. It is suited to film, television, documentary, news gathering, voice-over, and other professional recording applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis true condenser microphone uses RF-bias electronics to help maintain operation in humid conditions where condensation can be a concern. The design is intended for demanding outdoor and field environments as well as controlled indoor productions. Its 13 dBA equivalent noise level supports clean capture of quieter sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe NTG-3B has a 40 Hz to 20 kHz frequency range, 130 dB SPL maximum sound-pressure handling, and a high-sensitivity output. Its directional response is designed to capture a clear on-axis source while maintaining natural off-axis behavior. These characteristics make it useful for boom operation, camera-mounted workflows, and voice recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA balanced 3-pin XLR output connects the microphone to professional cameras, field recorders, mixers, and audio interfaces with suitable microphone inputs. The microphone requires P48 phantom power, operating from 44 to 52 volts and drawing at least 5 mA. No onboard controls or battery compartment are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe black NTG-3B integrates easily into a location-sound setup with a boom pole, stand, shock mount, recorder, or camera adapter. It includes an RM5 adjustable mic clip, foam windshield, padded zip pouch, and weather-resistant aluminum storage cylinder. Add a compatible suspension mount and enhanced windshield when greater isolation from handling noise or wind is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRF-Bias Electronics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps resist moisture and condensation in demanding recording conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupercardioid Pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Focuses pickup toward the subject and reduces surrounding sound.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow Self-Noise:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13 dBA equivalent noise supports quieter recording environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eP48 Phantom Power:\u003c\/strong\u003e Works with compatible professional cameras, mixers, and recorders.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3-Pin XLR Output:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides a balanced analog connection for professional audio equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Storage Cylinder:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides weather-resistant protection during transport and storage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe NTG-3B has a slim 19 mm diameter, 255 mm long shotgun form factor with a matte-black finish.
