Introduction

Thank you for investing in the NT3 studio
condenser microphone.

Styli sh and mode rn, the NT3 i s a studio a nd locati on
workhorse. With both P48 phantom power and
internal 9V battery operation, this
microphone is at home anywhere.

Intended for studio, stage and location work, this
versatile handheld or stand mounted microphone
incorporates a true externally polarized condenser
(hyper-cardioid polar response) transducer with an
internal c a ps ule s ho c k mou nt ing s y s tem, an d an u lt ra ­low noise electronic circuit that has a high immunity to
R.F. interference.

Please take the time to visit www.rodemic.com and
register your microphone for a full ten year warranty.

While there you can view studio tips and techniques, as
well as browse the comprehensive range of accessories
