Description

Description

The Rode NTG3 is a professional supercardioid (shotgun) condenser microphone designed for demanding applications in film production, television broadcasting, outdoor broadcast filming, and field recording. It features RF-bias (Radio Frequency) technology, which provides excellent resistance to high humidity, condensation, and extreme environmental conditions. It has a 0.50-inch (13 mm) capsule with a low self-noise level (8.2 dBA) and high sensitivity, delivering a natural frequency response with a rich low end and transparent high frequencies. Its construction is based on a solid, plated-brass body to minimize RF electromagnetic interference, while connectivity is provided via a standard 3-pin XLR output requiring 48V phantom power.

Basic Features

  • Microphone Type: Professional RF-Bias shotgun condenser microphone

  • Polar Pattern: Supercardioid (directional)

  • Capsule: 0.50" (13 mm) RF-Bias condenser capsule

  • Frequency Response: 40Hz – 20kHz

  • Output Impedance: 25 Ohms

  • Maximum SPL: 130 dB SPL (@ 1kHz, 1% THD into 1kΩ)

  • Sensitivity: -30.0dB re 1 Volt/Pascal (31.6mV @ 94 dB SPL) ± 2 dB @ 1kHz

  • Equivalent Noise Level (Self-Noise): 8.2 dBA (A-weighted – exceptionally low noise)

  • Dynamic Range: 121.8 dB

  • Signal-to-Noise Ratio (S/N Ratio): 85.8 dB (A-weighted)

  • Weather Resistance: High resistance to humidity, condensation, and extreme temperatures thanks to the RF-Bias circuitry

  • Power Requirements: +48V phantom power (4.3mA)

  • Connectivity: Professional 3-pin XLR output (gold-plated contacts)

  • Body Material: Plated solid brass body

  • Dimensions (Diameter x Length): 19 x 255 mm

  • Weight: 163 g

RF-Bias Technology & Resistance to Extreme Environmental Conditions

The Rode NTG3 incorporates RF-bias (Radio Frequency) technology, which replaces traditional high-impedance designs with a low-impedance RF circuit. This design makes the microphone virtually immune to moisture, rain, and condensation, allowing it to operate reliably in extreme outdoor filming environments (such as tropical or freezing climates) where conventional condenser microphones may produce noise or cut out.

Acoustic Performance & Ultra-Low Self-Noise

The NTG3’s acoustic design delivers an exceptionally low self-noise level of just 8.2 dBA, making it one of the quietest microphones in the shotgun category. Its supercardioid polar pattern ensures high directivity and excellent off-axis rejection, allowing clear recording of dialogue and focused sound sources even in environments with elevated background noise.

Brass Metal Construction & Professional Wiring

The microphone body is made from machined solid brass, providing high mechanical strength, shock protection, and shielding against radio-frequency interference (RF interference). Weighing just 163 g, it is ideal for use on boom poles without tiring the operator. The 3-pin XLR output ensures full compatibility with professional field recorders, audio consoles, and broadcast cameras.

Mode of Operation
Condenser (Small Diaphragm)

Mode of Operation

Condenser (Small Diaphragm)
Very accurate and fast in response. Suitable for instruments with detail and high frequencies (acoustic guitar, piano, overheads).
Directivity
Unidirectional (Supercardioid)

Directivity

Unidirectional (Supercardioid)

(Supercardioid): It has a narrower pickup in front than the cardioid and slightly more sensitivity from the back. Ideal for recordings in noisy environments.
Frequency
40 - 20000 Hz

Frequency

Indicates the frequency range that a microphone can capture and is expressed in Hertz (Hz). The more balanced the range, the more natural and clear the sound.

Usage examples:

  • 100 – 10,000 Hz to 200 – 12,000 Hz: Emphasis on speech intelligibility, with limited low and very high frequencies.
  • 50 – 14,000 Hz to 80 – 16,000 Hz: Balance of volume and clarity. Ideal for live performances and dynamic microphones.
  • 40 – 15,000 Hz to 50 – 18,000 Hz: Rich, natural vocal sound. Suitable for podcasts, radio, and streaming.
  • 20 – 18,000 Hz to 20 – 20,000 Hz: Full spectrum with high detail and "air". Ideal for studio recording.
  • Below 20 Hz & above 20,000 Hz: Extended technical range for specialized studio applications.
Impendance
25 ohm

Impendance

Indicates how "easily" the microphone transmits its signal to the equipment (mixer, sound card, amplifier). It is expressed in Ohms (Ω).

  • Low impedance (≤ 600 Ω): Stable signal, less noise, ideal for professional equipment and long cable runs.
  • Medium impedance (600 – 1,000 Ω): Good balance, common in live and general use.
  • High impedance (> 1,000 Ω): More sensitive to loss and noise, usually found in older or specialized equipment.
Sensitivity
31.6 mV/Pa

Sensitivity

The sensitivity of a microphone indicates how strong the signal it produces is when recording a sound. It is measured in mV/Pa or dBV/Pa.

  • High sensitivity: The microphone can capture very low sounds, but it may be more sensitive to ambient noise.
  • Low sensitivity: It records louder sound sources without distortion, but requires more amplification from the preamp.

In general, condenser microphones have higher sensitivity than dynamic ones.

Max SPL
130 dB

Max SPL

Max SPL (Maximum Sound Pressure Level) is the maximum sound pressure level (in dB) that a microphone can withstand before it starts to distort the sound.

  • High Max SPL (e.g., 140-160dB): Ideal for recording loud sources such as drums, amplified guitar, or live concerts.
  • Lower Max SPL (e.g., 120dB): Suitable for vocals and softer recordings.

The higher the Max SPL, the louder the sounds it can capture without distortion.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
94 dB

Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)

Indicates the difference between the useful signal and the microphone's noise. The higher the value in dB, the clearer the sound. A microphone with a low SNR may sound “noisy,” especially in quiet environments or when recording low-volume sounds. On the other hand, a high SNR means that noise is minimal compared to the sound you want to capture, offering a more professional, clear, and detailed result—ideal for studio, vocals, or high-quality recording.

  • 35 – 60 dB (Low SNR): Noticeable noise is present. Suitable for casual use or loud sources.
  • 60 – 90 dB (Medium SNR): Good signal-to-noise balance. Suitable for live performances and general use.
  • 90 – 110 dB (High SNR): Very clear signal with minimal noise. Ideal for studio, vocals, and high-quality recording.
