The NT3 is a versatile end-address 3/4-inch condenser microphone that provides incredible detail on almost any sound source you can imagine, from drums to guitar amps to vocals. Intended for studio, stage and location work, the NT3 is ideal for use on a stand or boompole, or as a handheld mic. It features a rugged all-metal body and durable mesh head to ensure it is well protected in the studio or in the field, and can be powered either by P48 phantom power or a 9V battery for added flexibility.
