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.
