The NTG3 is a moisture-resistant shotgun microphone in a satin nickel finish, built to deliver broadcast-quality sound indoors or outside for indie film, TV, and documentary production. Low-noise circuitry, enhanced immunity to radio-frequency interference, and minimal handling noise cut down on the amount of audio repair needed in post-production. High sensitivity lets it produce strong output levels without heavy gain at the mic preamp, while a gentle rise in high frequencies and rumble-reducing attenuation of low bass frequencies keep the sound consistently clear. The NTG3 has no switches or dials to set, so it's ready to go straight out of the case. Its solid brass housing is durable and lightweight, with an anti-glare finish that avoids reflections in shot. It is phantom powered and ships with a windscreen.
