Rode NT3 Medium-Diaphragm Condenser Studio Microphone

The clarity of a small-diaphragm meets the depth of a large-diaphragm in Rode's workhorse end-address condenser mic -- powerable via phantom or 9V battery.

The Rode 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 +48V phantom power or a 9V battery for added flexibility.

Built for studio, stage, and location work, the Rode NT3 is made from only the finest components, and delivers the sonic results demanded by engineers and musicians alike. Its low self-noise, high fidelity performance, and value pricing makes it hard to beat.

I own a small sound co. Since I bought this mic I have only used it in live applications,for overhead drum application it works well. I've also always had a problem bringing percussion out to the front of a loud stage mix but this mic proved delightful at delivering the goods. I am in the process of putting together a limited recording/mixing suite at home and I intend to buy a second NT-3.
Features
I wish it had a rolloff switch.
Quality
The mic is well made and seems to be tough enough to live in the storage compartment of my SKB mic box,in its bag. For the money vs. bang it gets the job done.
