Rode NTG-3 Professional Shotgun Boom Microphone KIT

Rode NTG-3 Professional Shotgun Boom Microphone KIT

• The RØDE PG2 Pistol Grip Shock Mount is designed to reduce handling noise when recording with shotgun microphones.

  It supports microphones with a diameter of 19-20mm or 21-22.5mm using the supplied interchangeable mounts, and a handy release lever on the mount allows for quick and easy adjustment of the microphone angle.

  Cable management is an integral design feature of the PG2 pistol grip, with the cable running through the handle assembly to minimise any handling noise or clutter. Additional cable security is provided on either side of the rubber shock mount.
  
  The PG2 can be operated by hand or attached to a boompole via the 3/8” thread attachment at the base.

   

• 
  The RØDE WS7 Large Deluxe Windshield is designed to reduce wind noise when recording in adverse environmental Conditions.
  
  Suitable for the RØDE NTG-3 as well as any shotgun microphone with a maximum slot length of 186.5mm (7 1/4”) and a diameter of 19-20mm.

  Premium Microphone Cables are engineered for maximum signal transfer and minimum loss. Designed for low-impedance operation, these balanced cables feature heavy-duty construction and professional Neutrik® connectors. To protect signal quality, each conductor has an individual spiral shield inside the molded insulating sheath. A conductive PVC layer inside each shield dissipates static buildup during flexing.

  
  

  • Dual copper outer shields and twin conductive PVC inner shields protect cable signal quality with 100% coverage
    
  • Professional Neutrik® connectors ensure superior signal integrity and oustanding strain relief
    
  • Heavy-duty PVC jacket stands up to tough use
    
  • Heavy-duty 24-gauge stranded copper conductors offer optimal signal transfer
    
  • Extra flexibility and low memory for ease of use/storage

  Introducing the new NTG-3 - a precision, broadcast-grade shotgun microphone from RØDE Microphones.
  The NTG-3 is the result of years of development by RØDE engineers, providing the professional broadcast and film industries with an affordable yet uncompromising microphone.

  Using a technology known as RF-bias the RØDE NTG-3 is almost completely resistant to moisture, making it the only option when recording in any demanding environments where condensation is an issue. Be it in a tropical rainforest, arid desert or sub-zero snowstorm the NTG-3 can be relied on to faithfully record audio where traditional condenser microphones would fail.
  
  In addition to its robust properties the NTG-3 combines very low weight (163g), a durable anti-glare finish and incredibly low handling and self-noise (13dBA) to become RØDE’s premier A/V microphone.
  
  When not in use the NTG-3 can be stored away in the included weather resistant aluminium storage cylinder, providing additional protection when travelling and storing the microphone.
  
  “The new NTG-3 is one of RØDE’s most exciting microphones.” commented Peter Freedman, President of RØDE Microphones. “I am confi dent that the robustness afforded by RF bias technology, combined with incredibly low self-noise and handling noise make the NTG-3 a clear market leader in the broadcast-grade shotgun microphone Category.”
  
  Australian sound recording guru, Ric Creaser (60 Minutes, Survivor, Australian Idol), was given the opportunity to field test the NTG-3 as a part of RØDE’s thorough product development. “The NTG-3 has amazingly low handling noise, which will make it a boom operator’s dream mic” observed Ric.
  
  “The audio quality is exceptional; providing the full bodied, robust, punchy audio I have come to expect from only the most expensive high-end broadcast shotgun microphones.”
  
  “Also the off axis capability is a little wider than a 416, therefore more forgiving when trying to capture two spaced sources; a real bonus. I plan to use the RØDE NTG-3 as my main microphone from now on - it is outstanding.”
  
  Key features:
  • Designed to withstand adverse environmental conditions
  • 50% less self-noise than the majority of shotgun mics
  • True condenser (externally RF biased)
  • Extremely low handling noise
  • High level of immunity to radio frequency interference
  • High sensitivity
  • Superior broadcast sound quality
  • Weather resistant aluminium storage cylinder included
  • Designed and manufactured in Australia
  • 10 year warranty (online registration required)

• The RØDE Boompole is a high grade professional boom pole for location recording, machined from high grade aluminum. The boom pole allows you to mount your microphone securely and swivel it in a range of directions that will allow you to easily change positions and follow your sound source.
