Review: Outstanding Recording Quality for a Shotgun Microphone - Outstanding recording the quality. Highly recommend. Review: Can't beat the quality of the Rode NTG3 at this price point - I have been a broadcaster and voice actor since 1978. I've used just about every brand of VO mic out there and while there are better mics than the RodeNTG3, I've not found one that's better at this price point. Many compare the NTG3 to the Sennheiser MKH-416 and while the 416 is a fine microphone, my own personal preference is the NTG3. It just suits my voice better. And that's the thing: some mics are more conducive to certain types of voices or vocal styles and delivery than others. Mics are not "one size fits all". There are some retailers that will actually let you try a mic before you buy it. That's never a bad idea. I've used $5000 mics that just don't work to my voice's advantage and for me to purchase them, would be a waste of money. I chain my NTG3 with a dbx286s preamp and Focusrite 2i2 digital interface and get stellar results. That's about $1000 worth of gear which for many isn't cheap but in the world of audio recording/production gear, it actually is. But I've had New York and LA engineers ask me what I'm using to get such a great sound. That's all the confirmation I need. The Neumann U87 is my absolute favorite mic but at a $3,000+ price point, it's just not feasible for most people in a home studio environment. But for @ $600-700, the RodeNTG3 is my mic of choice. It's also a workhorse and will last a lifetime. A great buy. ## Features - Shotgun Condenser Microphone with Moisture-resistant Design - Aluminum Stage Cylinder - Black - Low Hling- Self-noise ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00EALIPCK | | Antenna Location | Video Conference | | Audible Noise | 13 db | | Best Sellers Rank | #46,892 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #415 in Multipurpose Condenser Microphones | | Brand | Rode | | Built-In Media | aluminum storage cylinder, microphone clip, padded zip pouch, pop filter, shotgun microphone | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Camera | | Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Connector Type | XLR | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 90 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Aluminum, Brass | | Frequency Range | 40Hz - 20kHz | | Frequency Response | 20 KHz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00698813002696, 00698813002962 | | Hardware Platform | Camera | | Impedance | 25 ohm | | Item Dimensions | 0.75 x 0.75 x 10.04 inches | | Item Weight | 163 g | | Manufacturer | RØDE Microphones | | Mfr Part Number | NTG3B | | Microphone Form Factor | Microphone Only | | Model Name | NTG3 | | Model Number | ROD NTG3 BLK | | Number of Channels | 1 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Polar Pattern | Super Cardioid | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Recommended Uses For Product | Video Conference | | Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 18 db | | Special Feature | Designed to withstand adverse environmental conditions | | UPC | 698813002962 698813002696 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 10 years | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Rode - **Color:** Black - **Connectivity Technology:** Wired - **Impedance:** 25 ohm - **Included Components:** aluminum storage cylinder, microphone clip, padded zip pouch, pop filter, shotgun microphone - **Item Weight:** 163 g - **Model Name:** NTG3 - **Polar Pattern:** Super Cardioid - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Video Conference - **Special Feature:** Designed to withstand adverse environmental conditions ## Images ![Rode NTG-3B Shotgun Microphone,Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61euvw0DdzL.jpg) ![Rode NTG-3B Shotgun Microphone,Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81t7za3c6IL.jpg) ![Rode NTG-3B Shotgun Microphone,Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/615AfBNu4DL.jpg) ![Rode NTG-3B Shotgun Microphone,Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Haplxbn7L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Recording Quality for a Shotgun Microphone *by T***Y on February 8, 2026* Outstanding recording the quality.
