The RØDE NT3 is a true studio and stage workhorse. The real condenser capsule equipped with a 3/4" gold-plated membrane reproduces both the instrument and vocals in particular detail, while thanks to the possibility of powering it with a 9V battery, it can be used perfectly in the field or in other situations where the traditional 48V phantom power supply is not available.

The microphone can be easily held in the hand or placed on a stand. Its capsule with cardioid characteristics has an anti-vibration suspension, it is protected by a built-in wind-blocking sponge and a massive, heat-treated capsule basket. Its housing is nickel-plated and withstands environmental adversities well.

There is a two-position switch on the body of the microphone, which can be used to turn the microphone on/off, i.e. to activate or mute the microphone. An LED above the switch indicates the charge of the 9V battery: the LED lights up for about 1 second when switched on > the battery is fully charged, the LED lights up for a long time after switching on > the battery will run down soon. If a battery is inserted but the microphone also receives external phantom power, the microphone will use the external power supply.
