There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It came with everything. The clip holder, for a mic stand. The USB charge cable. The Sticker.
Plus opportunity for 10 year warranty, upon proper registration. Zipper case.
The one Con: you need to plug in the mini USB into the "blind hole". While I understand the cavity protects the
mini USB, plugging it in, is awkward. Because you need to properly align the plug to the receptacle, at the bottom of the XLR plug. But this is the proper location for such a plug, and not a deal breaker,to plug It in and charge it. Then 3 green LEDS blink 1-2-3, while charging. But what a beautiful Microphone. And not overly long, unless you demand something less than 10.94 " Just under 11 inches long. The audio quality is Immortal as well. Your basically getting a $1000 microphone for about $300. Making it hands down, Best in Class.
That being said, be advised it took over hour to charge it, on my computer USB port.
These pick up all the qualities of our voices perfectly. They're extremely directional, and background noise isn't much of a concern (I should point out that I use these in an acoustically treated room, so there are no echoes bouncing off the walls).
When I compare my audio to professional level podcasts while wearing studio monitoring headphones, there is no discernible difference. I've even let a couple friends that do mixing/mastering for a living, and they don't notice any difference as well. I'm sure if any self-proclaimed "audiophiles" read this, they'll heavily disagree. Their anxiety levels will rise, and they'll feel the desire to comment on this to tell me I'm wrong and that this is just an "average mic you noob". Don't listen to these people. This is a good mic, and with the right settings, recording environment, and compression, your audio will sound superb.
As a reminder, I use these for podcasts. I cannot vouch for how they perform with recording musical instruments, except for a jaw harp, which it records beautifully.
Audio recording quality is fantastic. There's literally zero static that comes from this thing, which you unfortunately get from cheaper shotgun mics. If you've ever used a decent condenser microphone, you'll know that you get that nice, deep, smooth audio. That's what you get with the NTG3. The sound is so nice you can literally even use this microphone as an interview or podcasting microphone. It's very versatile. Directionality is great as well. When used at a public place it does a great job reducing background audio, which is super useful if you cover events and a handheld microphone is a no go.
Construction quality is phenomenal. The entire unit is made of metal and feels like it'd last a lifetime if properly taken care of. It also comes with a felt lined carrier case as well as a metal tube case if you're doing a lot of traveling where the microphone may get damaged.
The only drawback IMO is that it lacks a shockmount. For $700 you'd expect RODE to include their SM3 or something, but no. You don't get one. Then again, the type of people who buy this probably already have a couple shockmounts...

Dirty Rode NTG3 original box, dirty and heavily used mic, missing carrying metal tube cap, broken zipper handle on the carrying pouch, knife or some kind of sharp object engraved number right on the mic itself lol.....
Just speechless and breathtaking.
