The NT3 Microphone from Rode is a cardioid condenser microphone for location, studio, and live use. Its transformerless output and quality construction delivers open, pristine sound.
The NT3's cardioid pickup pattern effectively isolates source signal, and the output circuitry and diaphragm are manufactured to further minimize noise from radio frequency interference or bad grounding. The NT3 can be powered by either 48V phantom or a single 9V alkaline battery, and the convenient On/Off switch allows user flexibility and control for sound reinforcement applications.
