Rode NTG-3B Shotgun Microphone,Black

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.

I have a few good mics and I thought the Rode NTG3 would be good but I underestimated just how good. Excellent sound quality with a lot of surrounding noise held to a minimum.

Amazing quality, used for my wife’s YouTube channel, highly recommend this product to all.

I like it very much, maybe the shotgun isn't very large but it has a very professional quality.

The versatility of this mic has made me rethink how I record audio.

Must have as a backup to your 416 senn

RODE quality as expected. Solid construction.

Ho avuto modo di provarlo prima che arrivasse a casa e ho fatto in tempo ad annullare la spedizione, recensisco comunque perché lo conosco anche per pareri di colleghi esperti.Questo microfono è perfetto, non gli si può dire davvero niente. Per chi lo conosce è risaputo che abbia un'esaltazione accentuata delle frequenza più basse, ma per gli addetti ai lavori questa è sempre stata una caratteristica apprezzabile e non un difetto.Preferisco NTG5!Ormai il 3 ha fatto il suo percorso (meraviglioso), e il 5 è un degno sostituto. I costi sono più o meno simili ma NTG5 ha alcune differenze che me lo fanno amare:- Leggerissimo, pesa incredibilmente poco grazie al corpo in alluminio- Qualitativamente equivalente a NTG3 ma senza esaltazione delle frequenze basse (quindi con un risultato più naturale comunque equalizzabile in post)- I dati sono a suo favore... nel più totale silenzio si comporta meglio- Ha un corpo più corto rispetto a NTG3, quindi più semplicità di movimento in ambienti con pochissimo spazio disponibile- Viene venduto con un formidabile kit che con NTG3 deve essere acquistato a parte

The Rode NTG3 is a little different from the usual shotgun mics.The noise level is extremely low, due to the RF design. The directivity pattern is a little wider than mics like the Sennheiser 816. This can be an advantage, or a disadvantage, depending on your application.Compared to most shotgun mics, the low frequency extension is far greater You will need to use a high pass filter for most dialogue or exterior recording. Also missing is the strong high frequency boost, often found in similar microphones The NTG3 makes a useful spot mic for music recording.Overall, the sound is natural and extended, lacking the dry pinched effect sometimes associated with shotgun mics. For outdoor use, the supplied foam windshield is inadequate. Budget for a full basket windshield in this case. You might get away with a WS7 furry on calmer days.I would always recommend personal auditioning, rather than relying on reviews if possible.

Es un micrófono de buen calidad para uso profesional.

le micro est bon, hyper sensible, très très bon rendu, par contre j'ai un bruit de fond. Peut être est ce le cable qui me relie à la Black Magic pocket 4K.

Bon produit mais attention soyez sûre de vos achats le service client Amazon est une honte et le satisfaction client est rien !
