RODE NT3 MICROPHONE - BUILT FOR STUDIO AND STAGE

Rode NT3 Microphone - Amazing clarity and detail to your live shows and in the studio.

For the past few years, I've been doing a lot of stage and recording work. I bought the Rode NT3 Microphone last year and can say it is the best microphone I have used to date. The Rode NT3 Microphone highlights the clarity of the voice and other instruments being used with it. The clean tones add amazing detail that helps melodies stand out in recording mixes and on stage. It's well worth the money, and you simply won't find something better at its price range.

Stylish and Modern

This microphone is clear and smooth with amazing sensitivity. It is a ¾ capsule worth 2 to 3 times its price. It manages to produce a crisp, bright vocal with both air and body. The microphone also helps acoustic instruments add a crispness to their solos while still sounding warm and captures that little extra snap you're looking for when micing a snare drum. The NT3's cardioid pickup pattern effectively minimizes stage or crowd noise and minimizes unwanted external studio sounds. Rode NT3 Microphone

      Flexible Power Options

      The NT3 is powered via 48V phantom or single 9V alkaline battery. 

      In case phantom power isn't available, the microphone can use its own power option.

      Sound reinforcement and user flexibility of the microphone is enhanced by its convenient on/off switch. Its rugged and durable all-metal body ensures it is protected on both sides in-studio and out in the field. Finally, I will say that it is one of the best microphones available in the market. You can use it for recordings, concerts, and webinars! Rode NT3 Microphone
