FAQs

Q.
Will the NTG-3 microphone work when connected to my wireless transmitter?
A.

There have been reports of compatibility issues when connecting the NTG-3 to a battery powered wireless transmitter such as the Lectrosonics UH400AAU.

This is due to there not being enough power in the transmitter to power the mic. Most portable transmitters can only provide 4mA of current at 48V. The NTG3 requires at least 5mA.
