The NT3 is the studio's all-purpose microphone. The 3/4” gold-sputtered condenser capsule is ideal for accurately recording virtually any instrument. Designed for studio, stage, and field use (with a boom pole), this versatile mic delivers excellent results for drums, percussion, acoustic guitar, guitar amps, piano, and other acoustic instruments. It also delivers precise vocal reproduction when used as a handheld or boom pole mic. The NT3 can be powered by P48 phantom power or a 9V battery if your camera or console can’t provide phantom power. Its robust metal body and grille make it ideal for both studio and field work. The RØDE NT3 is designed and manufactured in Australia and is backed by a free 10-year RØDE warranty. • 3/4” true condenser capsule (externally biased) • Choice of power supply • Die-cast metal body with a durable satin nickel finish • Zero-noise output transformer • Internal suspension in the capsule • High RF interference rejection • Excellent components • Wide bandwidth Acoustic principle: Pressure gradient - Active electronics: JFET impedance converter with bipolar output buffer - Capsule: 0.75" - Directivity: Cardioid - Pickup: End - Frequency range: 20Hz - 20kHz - Output impedance: 200Ω - Maximum sound pressure level (SPL): 140dB (@1kHz, 1% harmonic distortion into 1kΩ) - Maximum output level: 9.5dBu (@1kHz, 1% harmonic distortion into 1kΩ) (@1kHz, 1% THD into 1kΩ load) - Sensitivity: -39.0dB re 1 Volt/Pascal (12.00mV @ 94 dB SPL) +/- 2 dB @ 1kHz - Equivalent noise level (A-weighted): 16dBA - Power supply: 9V battery, +24-48V phantom power - Weight: 371.00g - Dimensions 206.00mmH x 32.00mmW x 32.00mmD - Output: 3-pin XLR.
