NTG3 Microphone Windscreen - Windmuff for Rode NTG-3

If you need a deadcat, you’ll have to measure the distance from the front of the mic to where the slotted holes in the barrel end. Your deadcat will slid over the microphone and must cover this distance at the bare minimum. Put the RE50 at the corner of a sandwich bag, making the surface as smooth as possible. Secure the bag with tape or a rubber band. The windscreen is excellent at reducing unwanted wind noise, while staying acoustically transparent like a pop filter. Rode’s DeadCat GO is appropriately named — it is a furry wind cover with dense shag. The DeadCat Go measures 7.08×2.75×2.75 inches and is compatible with most shotgun microphones. Key Specifications: The NTG-8 is a 'broadcast quality' shotgun microphone featuring true externally RF biased condenser capsule. The super-cardioid pattern and 559mm length gives the user increased directionality, and this coupled with low handling noise and range of 40Hz-20kHz results in a smoother and more natural sound. The microphone's resistance to high humidity environments and high immunity to radio frequency interference means it is suited for many uses including long distance miking, film, television, sports and outdoor broadcasting. The NTG-8 is 48V phantom powered (44-52V, minimum 2.5mA), with a 3-pin XLR connector.Add the windscreen and massage gently for 45 seconds. Try not to bend or twist large, fuzzy shotgun windscreens.

These super-cardioid shotgun microphones follow on from the popularity of the NTG-1 and NTG-2 shotgun microphones. With added functionality such as digital switching for high pass (flat/75Hz), high frequency boost, and level control (-10dB pad), the NTG-4 and NTG-4+ can be easily operated when on a boom or are mounted on a camera. A wide frequency response of 20Hz-20kHz and low noise circuitry gives the user a more rounded and accurate sound. The MZH600 Windshield is arranged with an inside foam layer and an utter faux fur layer to both reduce outdoor wind noise, but to also allow wanted sounds through clearly. It has dimensions of 7×2.25” to house the compatible shotgun microphone. Key Specifications: Put on gloves or put your hands in baggies. Remove any barriers you have put on your microphones and throw them in the trash.

If you are looking for a professional blimp with all the bells and whistles, the Cyclone Windshield from Rycote pulls out all the stops. Rycote’s deadcats are some of the best and are rated for 10 dB of wind attenuation alone. Considering this, I think a good estimation for the Rode blimp is 40 dB of attenuation.

The Rycote Mini Windjammer is a slip-on fur cover that provides wind protection. The windjammer can be used solo, but was designed to be added on to Rode’s VideoMic NTG Windscreen for extra wind diffusion.

If you need a blimp, the overall length of your microphone is more important because the blimp has to encompass the entire microphone. Rode NTG3: This legendary shotgun microphone paved the way for the NTG5, introducing RF-bias technology and a sound signature ideal for interior location shooting. Lay the mic onto a piece of wrap that’s twice the length of the softie and fold the wrap over your mic.
