•  We strongly suggest the use of high quality XLR 
cables, using the shortest cable length possible 
to ensure minimal noise interference between 
the microphone output and the camera/recorder 
input.
•  The NTG-3 features a custom designed XLR 
connector that is specially designed to reduce 
susceptibility to RF interference from devices such 
as cell phones.
•  When mounting the microphone in a mic stand 
or shock/suspension mount you must ensure that 
you do not block any of the slots on the side of the 
microphone (as illustrated below).
Obstructing these slots will affect the sound quality 
and the polar pattern (directional qualities).
•  The NTG-3 is designed for operation within 
demanding environments, where the traditional 
condenser microphone would fail. However all due 
care should be taken to protect the microphone 
body itself from high levels of moisture or dust. 
For maximum protection please store the NTG-3 in 
the supplied storage cylinder when not in use.
