Rode NTG3B RF-Bias Shotgun Microphone (Black)
The NTG3B is the matte-black version of RODE's broadcast-grade NTG3 shotgun microphone. It uses the same RF-bias condenser design that resists the humidity and moisture that would defeat an ordinary condenser on a long day of location work, and its tight supercardioid pattern isolates dialogue while rejecting sound from the sides.
The non-reflective black finish keeps the mic discreet on camera and under lighting. It runs on 48V phantom power over a standard XLR output and ships with an RM5 mic clip, a windshield, a zip pouch, and an aluminium storage cylinder.
