Introduction

Thank you for your purchase of the NTG-3
precision broadcast-grade shotgun microphone.

The NTG-3 is one of
microphones. It is the result of years of development
by engineers, providing the professional
broadcast and fi lm industries with an affordable yet
uncompromising microphone.

One of the key features of the NTG-3 is its ability to
withstand adverse conditions. Using a technology
known as RF bias the NTG-3 is almost completely
resistant to moisture, making it the only option when
recording in any demanding environments where
condensation is an issue.

In addition to its very low weight and anti-glare fi nish,
the NTG-3 also features incredibly low self-noise. I’m
confi dent that you won’t fi nd a similar microphone that
is this quiet.

When not in use you’ll be able to store the NTG-3
in the weather resistant aluminium anti-roll storage
cylinder (standard with purchase), providing additional
protection when traveling and storing the NTG-3.

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